How to update Cosmil on your Mac
Cosmil's developer publishes each version through a version feed at api.cosmil.app. Below is how to run that update yourself, then what Floodtide does about it, alongside every other app on the Mac.
Update Cosmil by hand
- Download the current build from the developer. Cosmil's developer publishes each release on their own site. Get the Mac build from there.
- Replace the old copy. Quit Cosmil, open the download and put the new Cosmil in Applications in place of the old one: a disk image is dragged across, an installer package runs its own steps. Your settings and documents live outside the app and are kept.
That is one app. The same walk, through a different menu or page each time, is what every other app on the Mac asks of you, which is where Floodtide comes in.
What Floodtide does about Cosmil
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Cosmil'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, next to every other app on the Mac that is behind.
The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from Cosmil's own updater, or from the developer's site, and Floodtide is what tells you the day it is due.

Questions about Cosmil
Does Floodtide update Cosmil?
Floodtide tells you when Cosmil has an update. Cosmil 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 Cosmil's own updater or the developer's site.
How does Floodtide install a new version of Cosmil?
It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as Cosmil's developer publishes it, and you update from Cosmil's own updater or the developer's site.
