This update contains a big improvement in Downcast’s macOS app that reduces the chances of running into the dreaded ‘inaccessible resource’ issue. Per Apple’s suggestion, Downcast stores security-scoped bookmarks for file system resources rather than absolute paths. Bookmarks are a more robust way to keep track of the content Downcast downloads like artwork, episode media files, etc. However, these bookmarks can become stale or invalid for a variety of reasons. When this happens, it’s usually possible for the app to automatically refresh the bookmark and continue operating without issue. Unfortunately, Downcast wasn’t handling a specific recoverable condition correctly prior to this build and that led to users experiencing this frustrating ‘inaccessible resource’ issue when they shouldn’t have.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Great news, but apps shouldn’t have to deal with this. Security-scoped bookmarks have been around since macOS 10.7. Why do they continue to break for seemingly no reason?<\/p>\n\n
