Release Integrity & Verification Principles
AirCardGuide maintains a strict verification policy for software releases. We only record releases that are officially tagged and published within Mak5er's public GitHub repository. We do not fabricate version numbers, promote unverified nightlies, or link to secondary software aggregators.
To inspect the live list of releases at any moment, you can visit the official GitHub Releases page directly at github.com/Mak5er/AirCard/releases.

How to Update AirCard to the Latest Version
Because AirCard is a standalone open-source macOS app without a built-in auto-updater daemon (like Sparkle), updating to a newer release is a quick, manual, and safe process:
- Download the New DMG: Visit our Download Page and click the primary button to obtain the latest
AirCard.dmgfile from GitHub. - Quit the Existing Application: Ensure that any running instance of AirCard is closed completely (press Cmd + Q).
- Mount and Overwrite: Open the new DMG image and drag the AirCard icon into your Applications folder. When macOS asks whether to Replace or Keep Both, select "Replace".
- Preserved Settings: Your customized card artwork and paired device trust records on your iPhone remain unaffected because they are stored on the device itself rather than inside the application bundle.
