NEW SwiftUI-Sparkle-Wrapper => Sparkly

This repo was more of a playground. I've since improved my understanding of Sparkle's Architecture and SwiftUI and am currently developing Sparkly a light, combine-based wrapper for Sparkle. Feel free to check it how.

SwiftUISparkleTestApp

Sample Project for using Sparkle in a SwiftUI-lifecycle app. It includes a wrapper class around SPUUpdater which can be interacted from within SwiftUI.

How it works

Since the Sparkle framework originates from the delegate-era, we need to create a bridge between Sparkles-delegates+callbacks and SwiftUI's Binding-toSomething philosophy. This is where the wrapper class SparkleAutoUpdater comes into play. It essentially provides a publisher for SPUUpdater.canCheckForUpdates to which any SwiftUI View can subscribe. In this sample repo, that's the case for the UpdateCommand-View. The wrapper class also subscribes to the .applicationDidFinishLaunching-Notification and will start the SPUUpdater after application launch.

There is also a simple helpers class that you can use, if you are planning to update from releases within a private repo. The class will handle token validation and stores the token into the macOS keychain.
