Note on macOS Support: macOS builds are currently not provided due to the requirement of an Apple Developer Program membership ($99/year) for code signing and notarization. Without proper code signing, macOS applications cannot run on modern macOS systems (macOS 10.15+) due to Gatekeeper security requirements. Distributing unsigned applications would result in security warnings and potential legal/security risks. If you are interested in supporting macOS development, please consider contributing or sponsoring the project.
If you need to run XMCL on Windows 7, please first download the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime and install it. We recommend choosing the 'Evergreen Bootstrapper'.
