Loop Follow can be built using a paid Apple Developer Account on any computer using the GitHub Browser Build method as explained (tersely) [here](fastlane/testflight.md) or with more detail in [LoopDocs: GitHub Browser Build: Other Apps](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-other-apps).

|
|
+If you choose GitHub Browser Build and want to run Loop Follow on your Mac, you need to install the TestFlight app on your Mac. The TestFlight app shows the same set of builds and uses the same installation procedure as shown in LoopDocs for installing apps on a phone from TestFlight; just do it on your Mac.

|
|
|
+If you have a Loop Follow app in your Applications folder from a prior Mac/Xcode build and then install from TestFlight:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* TestFlight does not ask if you want to replace your app - you get a second app, Loop Follow 2.app, in your Applications folder
|
|
|
+* You can then delete the original Loop Follow.app and rename the TestFlight version from Loop Follow 2.app to Loop Follow.app
|
|
|
+* Subsequent installations from TestFlight overwrite the app
|
|
|
+* Your settings are maintained regardless of the app name
