### :old_key: Signing
- [ ] Download the delta update file (.tbz) of the *mac OS* build.
- [ ] Download the delta update file (.tbz) of the *mac OS VFS* build.
> [!TIP]
> The .tbz file is required for automated upgrade. The link is located after the last mention of *Sharing succeeded* in the build logs. The file needs to be signed similarly to the .pkg file and uploaded everywhere.
- [ ] Sign binaries (`ssh -P 2200` to signing VM, then, `cat how-to-sign`, then `scp -P 2200` to download signatures)

### 🚀 Publishing
- [ ] Close the milestone for X.Y.0

#### :book: Changelog: create draft pre-release and release notes (click on ```Generate release notes```) at:
- [ ] [nextcloud/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/releases)
> [!WARNING]
> Only add the release notes to [nextcloud/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/releases).
> 🚨 For security reasons, the binaries are *only* uploaded to [nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases).
- [ ] [nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases) (copy the changelog from [nextcloud/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/releases))
- [ ] be careful macOS VFS packages (so called one client) are wrongly named and should follow this pattern: `Nextcloud-x.y.0.pkg`

#### ⬆️ Upload binaries to:
- [ ] the draft pre-release at [nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases)
- [ ] [download.nextcloud.com](https://download.nextcloud.com) in the user home directory (so still private)

#### 📧 Marketing:
- [ ] notify Marketing that the release is ready.

#### 🔈 When marketing gives the go then publish the draft pre-releases created previously at:
- [ ] [nextcloud/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/releases)
> [!CAUTION]
> 🚨 No binaries in [nextcloud/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/releases)
- [ ] [nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases](https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases)
- [ ] Run the `publish_desktop.sh` script on download.nextcloud.com so that the binaries appear at [download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases](https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases)
- [ ] Ask sysadmin to update the `.htaccess` such that latest alias point toward the new release (for example https://download.nextcloud.com/desktop/releases/Windows/latest)

#### 🆕 Release via the updater server:
- In the [updater server config](https://github.com/nextcloud/client_updater_server/blob/8aca0826b0a617acc56a30f3095af7f16abd80f3/config/config.php#L24C1-L27C39) change the following values to serve the release:
- [ ] `$stableReleaseDate`
- [ ] `$fileProviderStableReleaseDate`
- [ ] `$stableVersion`
- [ ] `$fileProviderStableVersion`

> [!WARNING]
> The **mac update service** needs the `signature` and `length` values in order to work: the *sparkle:edSignature* and *length* values are printed right after the last mention of *Sharing succeeded* in the build log.

- 🍎 Under [`stable`](https://github.com/nextcloud/client_updater_server/blob/8aca0826b0a617acc56a30f3095af7f16abd80f3/config/config.php#L76), update the following values for [`macos`](https://github.com/nextcloud/client_updater_server/blob/8aca0826b0a617acc56a30f3095af7f16abd80f3/config/config.php#L99C111-L102C38) :
- [ ] `signature`
- [ ] `length`
- [ ] `fileProviderSignature`
- [ ] `fileProviderLength`

#### 🌐 Update the website and users:

- [ ] Ensure that desktop client links work on website and release packages are downloaded fine
- [ ] Also test links on portal and that release packages are downloaded fine
