Keep Shadow up to date on your Mac
Shadow is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships. Shadow can also update itself, but only once you open it, and only itself.
How Shadow gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Shadow's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out.
The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from Shadow's own updater, or from the developer's site.
Questions about Shadow
Does Floodtide update Shadow?
Floodtide tells you when Shadow has an update. Shadow is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads the version its developer publishes, so a new release appears in your update list with no configuration. The developer publishes no download Floodtide can check, so the update itself comes from Shadow's own updater or the developer's site.
How does Floodtide install a new version of Shadow?
It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as Shadow's developer publishes it, and you update from Shadow's own updater or the developer's site.
