Please update the public ScarfGo TestFlight build (currently 2.17.1 build 55) #139

Description

@pasaranax

Describe the bug

The public ScarfGo TestFlight currently serves version 2.17.1 (55), released on July 19, 2026. This build predates the NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription entry added in build 61.

As a result, iOS never lists ScarfGo under Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network and does not show the local-network permission prompt. SSH connections to a LAN/Tailscale host fail with:

NIOPosix.NIOConnectionError error 1

The SSH server is reachable, the public key is installed correctly, and Scarf on another Mac connects to the same host over SSH.

To reproduce

  1. Install ScarfGo from the public TestFlight link.
  2. Confirm that TestFlight provides version 2.17.1 (55).
  3. Configure a reachable SSH host on the LAN or through Tailscale.
  4. Tap Test connection.
  5. Check Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network — ScarfGo is absent.

Expected behavior

The public TestFlight group should receive a current iOS build (build 61 or newer) containing NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription, so iOS can request local-network access and ScarfGo can establish the SSH connection.

Request

Could you please upload or assign the latest ScarfGo iOS build to the public TestFlight group? The repository currently reports version 2.21.0 (63), while the public beta still serves 2.17.1 (55).

Environment

  • iPhone running iOS 18+
  • ScarfGo: 2.17.1 (55), public TestFlight
  • Hermes host: macOS, SSH port 22
  • Connection path: Tailscale IP
