About Debug and Release builds

Each build of the Wired software suite on macOS is distributed in two separated versions, Debug and Release.

The Release is the application version you use daily and which relies on many precious resources (settings, message history, etc) located into your user library (~/Library). In order to not disturb your day to day usage of the applications, and to not mess up with these resources, users volunteer to test new update are required to use the Debug version, which relies on different local resources.

Please, do not use Debug versions if you are not involved in testing or not really knowing what you are doing. Debug versions can break compatibility and damage configuration data and should not be used in production.

Where are these resources located?

Both versions use different resources files, respectively located:

Preferences:

• ~/Library/Preferences/fr.read-write.WiredClient.plist
• ~/Library/Preferences/fr.read-write.WiredClientDebug.plist

Private Messages History

• ~/Library/Application Support/Wired Client/WiredClient.sqlite
• ~/Library/Application Support/Wired Client/WiredClientDebug.sqlite

How to check what version I am using?

The Debug version has a supplementary application menu of the same name (Debug) which is not visible in Release versions.
