# Tauri Bundler

Wrap Rust executables in OS-specific app bundles.

## About

This is a fork of the awesome [cargo-bundle](https://github.com/burtonageo/cargo-bundle), turned into a library used by the [Tauri CLI](../cli).

## Configuration

Tauri automatically loads configurations from the `tauri.conf.json > bundle` object, but this library doesn't rely on it and can be used by non-Tauri apps.

### General settings

These settings apply to bundles for all (or most) OSes.

- `name`: The name of the built application. If this is not present, then it will use the `name` value from
  your `Cargo.toml` file.
- `identifier`: [REQUIRED] A string that uniquely identifies your application,
  in reverse-DNS form (for example, `"com.example.appname"` or
  `"io.github.username.project"`). For OS X and iOS, this is used as the
  bundle's `CFBundleIdentifier` value; for Windows, this is hashed to create
  an application GUID.
- `icon`: [OPTIONAL] The icons used for your application. This should be an array of file paths or globs (with images
  in various sizes/formats); `tauri-bundler` will automatically convert between image formats as necessary for
  different platforms. Supported formats include ICNS, ICO, PNG, and anything else that can be decoded by the
  [`image`](https://crates.io/crates/image) crate. Icons intended for high-resolution (e.g. Retina) displays
  should have a filename with `@2x` just before the extension (see example below).
- `version`: [OPTIONAL] The version of the application. If this is not present, then it will use the `version`
  value from your `Cargo.toml` file.
- `resources`: [OPTIONAL] List of files or directories which will be copied to the resources section of the
  bundle. Globs are supported.
- `copyright`: [OPTIONAL] This contains a copyright string associated with your application.
- `category`: [OPTIONAL] What kind of application this is. This can
  be a human-readable string (e.g. `"Puzzle game"`), or a Mac OS X
  LSApplicationCategoryType value
  (e.g. `"public.app-category.puzzle-games"`), or a GNOME desktop
  file category name (e.g. `"LogicGame"`), and `tauri-bundler` will
  automatically convert as needed for different platforms.
- `short_description`: [OPTIONAL] A short, one-line description of the application. If this is not present, then it
  will use the `description` value from your `Cargo.toml` file.
- `long_description`: [OPTIONAL] A longer, multi-line description of the application.

### Debian-specific settings

These settings are used only when bundling `deb` packages.

- `depends`: A list of strings indicating other packages (e.g. shared
  libraries) that this package depends on to be installed. If present, this
  forms the `Depends:` field of the `deb` package control file.

### Mac OS X-specific settings

These settings are used only when bundling `app` and `dmg` packages.

- `frameworks`: A list of strings indicating any Mac OS X frameworks that
  need to be bundled with the app. Each string can either be the name of a
  framework (without the `.framework` extension, e.g. `"SDL2"`), in which case
  `tauri-bundler` will search for that framework in the standard install
  locations (`~/Library/Frameworks/`, `/Library/Frameworks/`, and
  `/Network/Library/Frameworks/`), or a path to a specific framework bundle
  (e.g. `./data/frameworks/SDL2.framework`). Note that this setting just makes
  `tauri-bundler` copy the specified frameworks into the OS X app bundle (under
  `Foobar.app/Contents/Frameworks/`); you are still responsible for (1)
  arranging for the compiled binary to link against those frameworks (e.g. by
  emitting lines like `cargo:rustc-link-lib=framework=SDL2` from your
  `build.rs` script), and (2) embedding the correct rpath in your binary
  (e.g. by running `install_name_tool -add_rpath
"@executable_path/../Frameworks" path/to/binary` after compiling).
- `minimum_system_version`: A version string indicating the minimum Mac OS
  X version that the bundled app supports (e.g. `"10.11"`). If you are using
  this config field, you may also want have your `build.rs` script emit
  `cargo:rustc-env=MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.11` (or whatever version number
  you want) to ensure that the compiled binary has the same minimum version.
- `license`: Path to the license file for the DMG bundle.
- `exception_domain`: The exception domain to use on the macOS .app bundle. Allows communication to the outside world e.g. a web server you're shipping.
- `provider_short_name`: If your Apple ID is connected to multiple teams, you have to specify the provider short name of the team you want to use to notarize your app. See [Customizing the notarization workflow](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/customizing_the_notarization_workflow) and search for `--list-providers` for more information how to obtain your provider short name.

### Example `tauri.conf.json`:

    "shortDescription": "",
    "longDescription": "",
    "copyright": "Copyright (c) You 2021. All rights reserved.",
    "icon": [
      "icons/32x32.png",
      "icons/128x128.png",
      "icons/128x128@2x.png",
      "icons/icon.icns",
      "icons/icon.ico"
    ],
    "resources": ["./assets/**/*.png"],
    "deb": {
      "depends": ["debian-dependency1", "debian-dependency2"]
    },
    "macOS": {
      "frameworks": [],
      "minimumSystemVersion": "10.11",
      "license": "./LICENSE"
    },
    "externalBin": ["./sidecar-app"]
  }
}
```
