A simple application for updating Ungoogled-Chromium on macOS via LaunchAgents.
The automation checks for the latest version from the ungoogled-chromium-macos repo every 24 hours and updates the app if a new release is available. This application is architecture agnostic, so it will work on both Intel and Apple Silicon without modification.
git clone https://github.com/paulscalise1/Ungoogled-Chromium-Updater.git
Change directory into this repo.
cd Ungoogled-Chromium-Updater
Then run the install script.
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
The install script will compile the AppleScript into an application and adds a LaunchAgent that will trigger every 24 hours, running the updater.
When the app detects a new release is available you will see a dialouge prompt:
Once 'Update' is selected, the new version is downloaded in the background and installed. You will be asked for your admin password in order to install into /Applications as seen here:
Once installed, a notification will appear:
As with any script sourced from the internet, it’s wise to review its contents prior to executing. :D
