Important: Do not tick a checkbox if you haven’t performed its action. Honesty is indispensable for a smooth review process.

In the following questions <cask> is the token of the cask you're submitting.

After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:

• The submission is for a stable version or documented exception.
• brew audit --cask --online <cask> is error-free.
• brew style --fix <cask> reports no offenses.

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

• Named the cask according to the token reference.
• Checked the cask was not already refused (add your cask's name to the end of the search field).
• brew audit --cask --new <cask> worked successfully.
• HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask> worked successfully.
• brew uninstall --cask <cask> worked successfully.

Note: I've moved away from using the kill command to reboot CoreAudio. Instead Apple recommends restarting the computer. Restarting it much more reliable because the kill script is unreliable. What's the best method for brew? I'm fine if it stays. Up to you.

@devinroth do you have a link to any documentation from Apple with the recommendation, we can remove the script from the Cask, and add a reboot caveat.

I can't push directly to the PR, because it's not opened from a branch.

I originally learned the reboot recommendation from an apple developer so I'm not exactly sure where it is in the official documentation.

It's mentioned here.

Let me know if that works for you.
