macOS
Universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 12.0+. Community Preview — not notarized, so the first launch needs one extra step in System Settings.
Download the latest macOS build ↓
macOS build is a not-notarized Community Preview distributed directly
from the project's GitHub repository. On first launch, Gatekeeper will
block the app — open System Settings → Privacy & Security
and choose Open Anyway for HPTCG Arena. Never disable
Gatekeeper globally and never run sudo, xattr,
or a downloaded shell command to bypass this. See Apple's
Open apps safely on your Mac.
Full instructions and older builds are on the
hptcg-arena repository.
