This plugin will be migrated to https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace/. 0.1.2 will be the last release in this repo.
Temporary solution until tauri-apps/tauri#323 lands.
Depending on your use case, for example a Login with Google button, you may want to take a look at https://github.com/FabianLars/tauri-plugin-oauth instead. It uses a minimalistic localhost server for the OAuth process instead of custom uri schemes because some oauth providers, like the aforementioned Google, require this setup. Personally, I think it's easier to use too.
Check out the example/ directory for a minimal example. You must copy it into an actual tauri app first!
In case you're one of the very few people that didn't know this already: macOS hates developers! Not only is that why the macOS implementation took me so long, it also means you have to be a bit more careful if your app targets macOS:
- Read through the methods' platform-specific notes.
- On macOS you need to register the schemes in a
Info.plistfile at build time, the plugin can't change the schemes at runtime. - macOS apps are in single-instance by default so this plugin will not manually shut down secondary instances in release mode.
- To make development via
tauri deva little bit more pleasant, the plugin will work similar-ish to Linux and Windows in debug mode but you will see secondary instances show on the screen for a split second and the event will trigger twice in the primary instance (one of these events will be an empty string). You still have to install a.appbundle you got fromtauri build --debugfor this to work!
