How do I package and distribute apps?

Open silvia-odwyer opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I am delighted to have discovered this project, since it uses the OS's system webview, and am greatly looking forward to developing with DeskGap! However, I am unsure on how to actually package and distribute the app I have built with DeskGap. I have found Issue #5 relating to this, however the instructions could be more specific. Could you give me some pointers on how to effectively package the app for Windows and Linux?

Thank you!

I believe pkg and nexe could be used for this purpose.

pkg doesn't seem to work for me. @silvia-odwyer Any success?

@danielmadureira pkg didn't work for me either, so as a result, I've had to move to Ultralight instead to develop my desktop app.

@patr0nus If the instructions on how to use pkg with DeskGap were more clear, it would be much appreciated and incredibly useful for future developers.
