Seriously. You want to ask the CTO to make artifacts public because you don't want devs to set or clear an attribute bit? Talk about entirely the wrong priorities.
Where did this coddled sense of entitlement come from? Are they creating their own SSH keys? Do they know the basics of the git cli? Or are these "magic commands" too? Do they know how to do their job?
I sympathise that Apple's tooling could be better, but the conclusion and tone is ridiculous given what could charitably be described as 'unique' requirements.
Our internal CLI tools have all largely been hassle free regardless of devs OS. We do use GoReleaser which abstracts away the multi arch builds, signing, and publishing to GitHub and Homebrew, which can be criticised sometimes as a bit of a crutch. But it's also been zero hassle for all of our Mac devs (the most junior of which are still expected to be able to download and execute a binary from a terminal.) and lets us get on with our day without prioritising 'requirements' that aren't even worth spending any time on.
Why would you even ship a command-line tool if your apparent need is to avoid the command line?
WB Discovery has been pretty clear it intends on launching Max in Australia as early as 2025, not coincidentally when Foxtel/Binge's HBO rights are up for renewal.
Also try telling that to poor Stan, now in 5th place having lost much of its licensed content to Amazon, Disney+ and Paramount+ entering the market.
I tried using the official client for a while but just couldn't stand it and switched back to Apollo about a month ago.
Sideloadly + ApolloPatcher was surprisingly easy to set up. Who knows how long it'll last, but it's basically set and forget once you create the Reddit+imgur API keys and enable wifi sync/auto refresh.
