Generate simple macOS .app
from Swift Package .executable
.
Could be useful for status bar app based only on Swift Package Manager.
let package = Package(
name: "my-executable",
platforms: [.macOS(.v11)],
products: [
.executable(name: "my-executable", targets: ["Executable"])
],
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/phimage/appify.git", from: "0.0.1")
],
targets: [
.target(
name: "Executable",
dependencies: ["Appify", ...]
)
],
...
)
In main.swift
just add one line before your app starting code
Appify.run() // here the code, will exit app if the first command line argument is appify
// your app code
let app: NSApplication = .shared
app.delegate = xxx
app.run()
then you could run
my-executable appify
A my-executable.app
will be created near the my-exectable
