micro:bit uploader for OS X

![](Microbit Uploader/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/icon_256x256.png)

This project is a clone of the Windows uploader, but for OS X. Once launched, the app runs in your menu bar and will automatically deploy any HEX files to your micro:bit. Like the Windows version, it is compatible with any browser that can run codethemicrobit.com.

Install the built version

  1. Download the latest .zip release from the Release directory
  2. Unzip it
  3. Drag Microbit Uploader to your Applications folder and launch it

Building

To build the project you'll need a copy of OS X 10.11 or higher and Xcode 8 or higher (you may be able to build on earlier OSes or versions of Xcode, but this remains untested). Once you have a development environment set up, just build and run Microbit Uploader.xcodeproj.

Distributing

  1. Open the Xcode project

  2. Product > Archive

  3. Export:
