- version.go (generated, never hand-edited) carries the compiled-in version; app.go drops the wails.json embed plus the gjson dependency - make release bumps config.yml and regenerates version.go in one commit; the re-run-safe guards from the 1.99.1 cycle carry over - release guard reads config.yml; CI CLI pin and cache key move to beta.22 to match the lockstep above - release wrapper and config NOTE comments updated; deletion proof: wails3 build green plus a dev boot reaching the connected state with the file absent (the one cold-boot failure reproduced as a Vite 8 cold-start vs app retry race, cleared by rerunning warm)
Build Directory
The build directory is used to house all the build files and assets for your application.
The structure is:
- bin - Output directory
- darwin - macOS specific files
- windows - Windows specific files
Mac
The darwin directory holds files specific to Mac builds.
These may be customised and used as part of the build. To return these files to the default state, simply delete them
and
build with wails build.
The directory contains the following files:
Info.plist- the main plist file used for Mac builds. It is used when building usingwails build.Info.dev.plist- same as the main plist file but used when building usingwails dev.
Windows
The windows directory contains the manifest and rc files used when building with wails build.
These may be customised for your application. To return these files to the default state, simply delete them and
build with wails build.
icon.ico- The icon used for the application. This is used when building usingwails build. If you wish to use a different icon, simply replace this file with your own. If it is missing, a newicon.icofile will be created using theappicon.pngfile in the build directory.installer/*- The files used to create the Windows installer. These are used when building usingwails build.info.json- Application details used for Windows builds. The data here will be used by the Windows installer, as well as the application itself (right click the exe -> properties -> details)wails.exe.manifest- The main application manifest file.
