1.2.4 build 22
Updates in 1.2.4 build 22
- Shows the Remote Access QR setup link after a short wait if tunnel readiness probes keep failing, so the panel does not stay stuck on Creating secure link.
- Brings Sparkle update windows to the front instead of leaving them behind other windows.
- Keeps the Remote Access setup window open while Cloudflare DNS prepares the public tunnel hostname.
- Waits until the public Remote Access tunnel passes a WebSocket readiness check before showing the QR code.
- Keeps iOS remote reconnect attempts going until monitor info arrives instead of stopping after pairing.
- Keeps the Mac pairing code stable after a successful Remote Access connection, unless the user regenerates it or resets trusted devices.
- Updates the Mac Remote Access prompts so iPhone users know the first successful scan can be saved for next time.
- Shows the Remote Access connect window immediately, with a loading state while the secure QR setup link is being prepared.
- Simplifies the Remote Access warning so it explains when to use Remote Access without technical tunnel wording.
- Fixes the Remote Access QR connect window so the QR code, setup text, pairing code, and buttons are fully visible.
- Adds a Mac Remote Access QR code that includes the active tunnel URL and pairing code.
- Bundles the Cloudflare tunnel helper with AirDesk so users do not need to install Homebrew or cloudflared separately.
- Supports the iOS QR scanner flow for one-scan Remote Access setup.
- Tunes Mac-side scroll speed so iOS gestures stay responsive without jumping too far.
- Restores the installer cleanup reminder after updates and puts Move to Trash directly in the dialog.
- Retries installer cleanup detection after launch so permission prompts do not suppress the reminder.
- Improves per-display stream recovery when a client socket becomes temporarily backlogged.
- Reduces expensive fallback captures by reusing the latest ScreenCaptureKit pixel buffer when possible.
- Improves Mac-side scroll injection so small iOS scroll steps map to visible line scrolling.
- Reduces scroll flicker by avoiding repeated fallback snapshot frames while the normal screen stream is already delivering updates.
- Reduces visual delay while scrolling by sending low-latency repaint frames instead of waiting for a forced keyframe.
- Restarts Mac screen capture streams when a display stream stops, suspends, or reports an error.
- Improves H.264 keyframe detection so reconnects and monitor switches do not reuse invalid recovery frames.
- Adds iOS decoder recovery and Metal redraw retries when a frame stalls after scroll or display changes.
