@salmanfarisvp, do you experience any issues in v1.0.3, should you have the chance to install it?

@nicomiguelino I have another issue, reagarding "Missing v1.0.3 in Screenly CLI for Mac"

Update: Found a solution, we need to authenticate to run the app locally and generate the mock data. Is this a feature or a bug? @sergey-borovkov
