AntUpload was uploaded to the Network using AntUpload!

Mac users might face quarantine issues: "AntUpload.app" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

This happens because I don't have a $99 a year Apple Developer account :(

To fix this:

1. Unzip the file (double-click the .zip).
2. Open Terminal (press Cmd + Space, type "Terminal", and press Enter).
3. Go to your Downloads folder:

cd ~/Downloads

4. Remove macOS quarantine flag:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine AntUpload.app

5. Double-click AntUpload.app to open it!

Build it from source

# currently uses the bleeding edge of the autonomi API which will eventually be released but for avant-garde users here's a how to guide

# clone the autonomi repo and use the make_missing_file_upload_api_stream branch
git clone https://github.com/grumbach/autonomi.git 
cd autonomi
git fetch origin make_missing_file_upload_api_stream 
git checkout make_missing_file_upload_api_stream

# go back into the ant-upload directory
cd ..

# build the release version of the app
cargo build --release

# (for macOS) make a AntUpload.app
bash ./assets/mac_os_bundle.sh

Run it from source

cargo run --release

For those diving into the code

• The src/server.rs file contains the main logic for all autonomi network interaction
• The src/main.rs 90% AI vibe-coded front-end for the app
• The src/cached_payments.rs file is copy pasted as is from the ant CLI, it allows re-use of payments for retries (which means it's cross compatible with ant CLI)

Coming soon

• Use the public Autonomi API release instead of the bleeding edge make_missing_file_upload_api_stream branch
• Windows binary releases (need help here)
• Download files from the Autonomi Network
• A repository of all shared files
• Suggest more features by submitting or upvoting an issue on github
