Portable application possible?
acul009 opened this issue · comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would love to compile my app into a single executable, as if I was statically compiling my rust application
Describe the solution you'd like
From what I have read, flutter doesn't actually support this.
Link to the flutter issue
Maybe a small self-extractor could be included?
Describe alternatives you've considered
I could use another framework like sciter, tauri or dioxus
Additional context
I just wanted to ask if this is possible with the help of rust, though I'm guessing it is not :(
Hi! Thanks for opening your first issue here! 😄
Hi, may I know what platform are you planning to use?
Maybe a small self-extractor could be included?
I guess this is possible. For example, for windows, a quick search using windows create self extracting exe gives some tools.
Btw, maybe ask on flutter community as well, since this looks like general flutter question.
I plan on supporting Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and IOS.
Though this is mostly just an issue on Windows and Linux, since the other platforms use native app archive formats.
I already searched around quite a bit, but it seems flutter just doesn’t support static linking. I just wanted to know if someone here maybe knew a trick using rust.
For Linux maybe Appimage might be a nice option. For Windows I think the only Option would be a self-extractor - either one in rust, like rustdesk seems to be using or maybe one made with 7-zip.
Thanks for your help, you can close this issue if you want :)
I see. Maybe we can make it open for a while to see whether someone else has some ideas (though I guess the probability is low given you have done this much searches)
