A new Apple-silicon app in viewer/macos (Swift, no dependencies, ~1 MB): one
window showing a ProdDash dashboard in WebKit, and nothing else. It runs no
server; it points at any ProdDash on the network.
- Connections (name + address) in Settings; the add/edit sheet asks
/api/modules whether ProdDash answers as you type. No port means 24500.
- Two or more connections bring a slim tab bar of their names. In a window
it floats over the dashboard and comes out while the pointer is on the
title bar; it is not part of the title bar, because anything there makes
WebKit push the page down. In full screen it is a titlebar accessory that
comes down with the menu bar, and it flashes up after each switch.
⌃Tab / ⌃⇧Tab and ⌘1–9 switch from the keyboard.
- Full screen, reopening in full screen if it quit there; window size and
the selected tab are kept too. The dashboard's own full-screen button
works as well.
- Menus: View (Back, Forward, Reload Page, Enter Full Screen), Settings,
Edit (copy/paste in the page's text fields), Window, Help (a guide that
ships in the app).
- Every installation keeps its own live web view. One that can't be
reached says why and retries at 2, 4, 8, then every 15 s; a redirect off
the installation is reported, not handed to the browser. JS alert,
confirm and prompt show as sheets; links to other sites open in the
browser.
- General settings: open at login (SMAppService), keep the display awake
while a dashboard is on screen (default on).
build.sh signs with the Developer ID when one is installed and makes a
notarised DMG with --notarize, as the launcher's does. It needs Xcode: with
only the command line tools the macOS 27 SDK can't expand SwiftUI's @State.
