Running multiple applications based on astilectron

I have built two separate applications based on go-astilectron (using bootstrap), and it seems only one can be run at the same time, although they're two different applications.

Is there some kind of unique ID setting of the sorts that prevents them from running at the same time?

This should fix it by setting it to false. image

@packet-sent Thanks. But I explicitly set this to true, because each of the applications can only have one running at a time. If I'm to set this to false, does that mean I have to achieve this per-application singleton goal by other means?

asticode commented

the way astilectron bundles apps, your 2 applications are not different to the OS and therefore you need to set SingleInstance to false in your situation. And yes, you'll need to achieve your per-application singleton goal by other means.

Understood. Thanks for your clarification!
