      Pick the Launchpad version to download and the VPhone.bundle that goes with it. Use this page when the latest release has no notarized Launchpad, or when you need to match versions by hand.

      What each release contains

      Each release has up to three files:

      FileContents
      vphone-launchpad-<version>-notarized.zipLaunchpad, signed and notarized by Apple. Download this one when it is available.
      vphone-launchpad-<version>.zipLaunchpad, not notarized. macOS blocks it the first time you open it.
      VPhone-<version>.zipVPhone.bundle. Launchpad downloads and installs it for you, so you do not need this file.

      To open a version that is not notarized, open it once, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

      Matching Launchpad and VPhone.bundle

      Use a VPhone.bundle from the same series as Launchpad. The series is the first two numbers of the version: Launchpad 2.2.3 belongs to 2.2 and works with any VPhone.bundle 2.2.x.

      Within a series, install the newest VPhone.bundle. Patch releases fix problems without changing how Launchpad and the bundle work together.

      Launchpad refuses a VPhone.bundle that is too old for it, but it may still list bundles from a newer series. Do not install those; update Launchpad to that series first.

      Info

      Launchpad does not update itself. Download the new version from the release page and replace the old app.
