In 2017, Vice reported that the antivirus firm ESET discovered a vulnerability for a trojan virus for macOS known as Proton in the installer for the free version of the program available on the Eltima website, as well as the installer for the developer Eltima’s download manager Folx.Įlmedia Player’s developers worked quickly in concert with the App Store and ESET to fix the problem, and the company reported that the site and apps were fully secure within 48 hours. However, even with such a good track record, the app was not immune from security vulnerabilities. For apps that are now Universal, you need to indicate under requirements that they are universal, because there are users that may want to run native-ARM apps, if available (and if you own an ARM mac, why wouldn't you want to run native apps if available?).A popular and powerful media app enjoyed by a large number of users, Elmedia Player has a reputation for excellence in security. Maybe that means separate MU pages for each platform in the case of VLC, or you need to host both versions and offer the user a choice which file when downloading. So come up with a system to handle this new world we live in, every day that goes by it only will get more confusing. VLC is the first app I've seen that comes as separate installers, but logical to think more will come, for whatever reason a Universal app is not available (technical reasons, licensing, size of the executable, who knows). There a many Universal apps now, but if you look at the MAc Update page for them, there is no indication that they are Universal and requirements still say Intel-64. As I"ve been telling MU for several months you need to come up with a system/policy for how to document and catalog Universal and/or ARM only apps. The download you are hosting currently as of this date is the ARM version.
VLC is now available in separate Intel and ARM (Apple Silicon) versions, with DIFFERENT versioning schemes.
