Build Cross Platform Packages

Build Cross-Platform Packages

Build professional distributable packages for macOS, Windows, and Linux for Rust GUI applications.

Quick reference for common tasks:

• macOS DMG with app bundle and CLI tools included
• Windows MSI with Start Menu shortcuts and PATH configuration
• Linux DEB with desktop integration and dependency management
• Automated GitHub Actions workflows for all platforms
• SLSA attestations for supply chain security
• Homebrew formula auto-updates via repository_dispatch

macOS DMG Package

What this creates: Professional drag-to-install DMG with app bundle containing both GUI and CLI binaries.

Icon Requirements

• Size: 512x512 PNG minimum, transparent background recommended
• Generate: Use Ideogram (https://ideogram.ai) or AI generator for professional quality
• Convert: convert icon.jpg -resize 512x512 icon.png or native macOS: sips -z 512 512 icon.png
• Convert to ICNS: mkdir AppIcon.iconset && sips -z 512 512 icon.png --out AppIcon.iconset/icon_512x512.png && iconutil -c icns AppIcon.iconset
• Place: docs/AppIcon.png (referenced in Info.plist without extension)
• Tip: macOS automatically handles Retina @2x icons when using .icns format

App Bundle Structure

YourApp.app/Contents/
├── Info.plist           # Application metadata
├── MacOS/
│   ├── your-gui-binary  # Main executable (launches GUI)
│   └── bin/
│       └── your-cli-binary  # CLI tool (accessed via PATH)
└── Resources/
    └── AppIcon.icns     # Application icon

Why this structure?

• GUI launches when app is double-clicked
• CLI accessible system-wide when app is in /Applications
• Single DMG distributes both tools

Create DMG

# Create directory structure
mkdir -p dmg-temp/YourApp.app/Contents/{MacOS,Resources,MacOS/bin}

# Copy binaries
cp target/release/your-gui dmg-temp/YourApp.app/Contents/MacOS/
cp target/release/your-cli dmg-temp/YourApp.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/
chmod +x dmg-temp/YourApp.app/Contents/MacOS/*

# Copy metadata and resources
cp Info.plist dmg-temp/YourApp.app/Contents/
cp AppIcon.icns dmg-temp/YourApp.app/Contents/Resources/

# Create drag-to-install link
ln -s /Applications dmg-temp/Applications

# Build DMG (UDZO = compressed)
hdiutil create -volname "YourApp" -srcfolder dmg-temp -ov -format UDZO YourApp.dmg

# Cleanup
rm -rf dmg-temp

Result: Users drag YourApp.app to Applications, instantly getting both GUI and CLI.

Advanced DMG with Custom Appearance

For professional DMGs with custom window layout and background:

# Create temporary read-write DMG
hdiutil create -volname "YourApp" -srcfolder dmg-temp -ov -format UDRW temp.dmg

# Mount it
device=$(hdiutil attach -readwrite -noverify -noautoopen "temp.dmg" | egrep '^/dev/' | sed 1q | awk '{print $1}')

# Customize appearance with AppleScript
echo '
  tell application "Finder"
    tell disk "YourApp"
      open
      set current view of container window to icon view
      set toolbar visible of container window to false
      set the bounds of container window to {100, 100, 700, 500}
      set position of item "YourApp.app" of container window to {150, 200}
      set position of item "Applications" of container window to {450, 200}
      delay 2
    end tell
  end tell
' | osascript

# Finalize (with race condition handling)
chmod -Rf go-w /Volumes/YourApp
sync

# IMPORTANT: Wait for Finder to release the volume
sleep 5

# Retry loop handles "Resource busy" race condition
for i in {1..5}; do
  if hdiutil detach ${device} 2>/dev/null; then
    break
  fi
  echo "Detach attempt $i failed, retrying..."
  sleep 2
done

# Force detach if still mounted
hdiutil detach ${device} -force || true

# Convert to compressed read-only DMG
hdiutil convert temp.dmg -format UDZO -imagekey zlib-level=9 -o YourApp.dmg
rm -f temp.dmg

Why the retry logic?

• macOS Finder may still be accessing the mounted DMG even after AppleScript completes
• This causes hdiutil: couldn't eject "disk6" - Resource busy errors
• The retry loop with delays solves this race condition
• Affects both Intel and Apple Silicon builds in GitHub Actions
• Without this fix, DMG creation randomly fails with exit code 16

Result: Users drag YourApp.app to Applications, instantly getting both GUI and CLI.

DMG Creation Troubleshooting: "Resource Busy" Errors

Problem: DMG creation randomly fails in GitHub Actions with:

hdiutil: couldn't eject "disk2" - Resource busy
hdiutil: convert failed - Resource temporarily unavailable
Error: Process completed with exit code 1

Root Cause: Background processes (Spotlight indexing, mdworker, Finder) hold file handles on the mounted DMG volume even after AppleScript completes. This prevents hdiutil detach from succeeding, which blocks the final hdiutil convert step.

Why It's Intermittent: The race condition timing varies based on:

• System load during CI execution
• Spotlight indexing speed
• Number of files in the DMG
• macOS runner state

Solution: Multi-strategy unmount with progressive escalation (gentle → force):

# Create temporary read-write DMG
hdiutil create -volname "YourApp" -srcfolder dmg-temp -ov -format UDRW temp.dmg

# Mount it
device=$(hdiutil attach -readwrite -noverify -noautoopen "temp.dmg" | egrep '^/dev/' | sed 1q | awk '{print $1}')

# Customize appearance with AppleScript (your existing code here)
echo '...' | osascript

# Finalize DMG
chmod -Rf go-w /Volumes/YourApp
sync

# ROBUST UNMOUNT: Progressive escalation with verification
echo "Attempting to unmount ${device}..."

# Strategy 1: Try gentle unmount with retries
for i in {1..3}; do
  if hdiutil detach ${device} 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "Successfully detached on attempt $i"
    break
  fi
  echo "Detach attempt $i failed, waiting..."
  sleep 3
done

# Strategy 2: Check if still mounted and use diskutil
if diskutil info ${device} >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Device still mounted, using diskutil unmount force..."
  diskutil unmountDisk force ${device} || true
  sleep 2
fi

# Strategy 3: Final force detach
if diskutil info ${device} >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Device STILL mounted, using hdiutil detach -force..."
  hdiutil detach ${device} -force || true
  sleep 3
fi

# Verify device is unmounted
if diskutil info ${device} >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "WARNING: Device may still be mounted, checking for blocking processes..."
  lsof | grep ${device} || true
fi

# Extra sync and wait for filesystem
sync
sleep 5

# Remove existing output DMG if it exists
rm -f YourApp.dmg

# Convert to compressed read-only DMG
echo "Converting temp.dmg to final DMG..."
hdiutil convert temp.dmg -format UDZO -imagekey zlib-level=9 -o YourApp.dmg

# Clean up temp files
rm -f temp.dmg

Why This Works:

1. Progressive escalation: Starts with gentle unmount, escalates to force only if needed
2. Verification between steps: Uses diskutil info to check mount status before each strategy
3. Multiple tools: Combines hdiutil detach and diskutil unmountDisk (different unmount mechanisms)
4. Diagnostic output: Shows lsof output if unmount fails to help debug persistent issues
5. Multiple sync calls: Ensures filesystem writes complete before attempting unmount
6. Longer delays: Gives background processes time to release file handles

Implementation Location: .github/workflows/release.yml in the "Create DMG installer (macOS only)" step, lines ~328-377.

Applies To: Both Intel (x86_64-apple-darwin) and Apple Silicon (aarch64-apple-darwin) DMG builds.

Testing: After implementing this fix, DMG creation should succeed consistently even under system load. Monitor with:

gh run watch
gh run list --workflow=release.yml --limit 5

Historical Context: This fix addresses random DMG creation failures due to the race condition.

Windows Icon Embedding

What this does: Embeds your application icon directly in the .exe file so it appears in Task Manager, file explorer, and shortcuts. This happens at compile time via build.rs.

Setup winres

# Cargo.toml - Only needed for Windows builds
[target.'cfg(windows)'.build-dependencies]
winres = "0.1"  # Embeds Windows resources (icon, version info)

[package]
include = ["src/**/*", "assets/**/*", "Cargo.toml", "build.rs"]  # Ensure assets included in package

build.rs

fn main() {
    #[cfg(windows)]  // Only run on Windows builds
    {
        let mut res = winres::WindowsResource::new();
        res.set_icon("assets/app.ico");  // Path to multi-resolution ICO file
        res.set("ProductName", "YourApp");  // Shown in Task Manager
        res.set("FileDescription", "Description");  // Shown in file properties
        res.set("LegalCopyright", "Copyright (c) 2025");
        res.compile().expect("Failed to compile Windows resources");
    }
}

Tip: The build.rs runs during cargo build, embedding the icon into the compiled .exe before the MSI installer packages it.

Create Multi-Resolution ICO

# ImageMagick converts PNG to ICO with multiple resolutions
# Windows automatically picks the right size for each context
magick convert app.png \
  \( -clone 0 -resize 256x256 \) \  # Large icons (file explorer)
  \( -clone 0 -resize 128x128 \) \  # Medium icons
  \( -clone 0 -resize 64x64 \) \    # Small icons
  \( -clone 0 -resize 48x48 \) \    # Taskbar
  \( -clone 0 -resize 32x32 \) \    # Title bar
  \( -clone 0 -resize 16x16 \) \    # System tray
  -delete 0 -colors 256 app.ico     # Reduce to 256 colors for compatibility

Why multi-resolution? Windows picks different icon sizes depending on context (taskbar, file explorer, system tray). Single-size ICOs look pixelated when scaled.

Cargo Workspace Assets

Why this issue occurs: cargo package packages each workspace member independently, but include_bytes!("../../assets/") tries to reach outside the package directory during build. The packaged .crate file doesn't include parent directory assets.

Problem: include_bytes!() with Workspace Assets

// Fails during cargo package because ../../ escapes the package boundary
let logo = include_bytes!("../../assets/logo.png");

Error: couldn't read src/../../assets/logo.png

Solution: Copy to Package (Recommended)

# Copy assets into the package that needs them
cp assets/logo.png yourapp-gui/assets/

// Update code to use local path (within package)
let logo = include_bytes!("../assets/logo.png");  // ../assets relative to src/

# Cargo.toml - Tell cargo to include assets in the packaged .crate
include = ["src/**/*", "assets/**/*", "Cargo.toml", "build.rs"]

Why this works: Each package becomes self-contained with its own assets, allowing cargo package and cargo publish to succeed.

Verify Before Publishing

# List files that will be included in the package
cargo package -p package-name --list | grep assets

# Inspect the actual .crate archive
tar -tzf target/package/package-name-*.crate | grep assets

Expected output: Should show assets/logo.png in the package contents.

Windows MSI Installer

What this creates: Professional Windows installer that adds Start Menu shortcuts, configures PATH, and handles upgrades cleanly.

See also: For bundling external dependencies (FFmpeg, ExifTool, Tesseract, etc.) in your MSI with unified detection/execution code paths, see the robust-dependency-installation skill.

Critical: Generate UpgradeCode once and NEVER change it: uuidgen or https://www.uuidgenerator.net/

Why UpgradeCode matters: Windows uses it to detect existing installations. Changing it creates a separate product that won't upgrade the old one.

Build MSI

wix build yourapp.wxs -o YourApp.msi

Version handling: Update Version="1.0.0" in .wxs for each release. MajorUpgrade handles uninstalling the old version automatically.

GitHub Actions: Automated Release

What this does: Automatically builds installers for all platforms when you push a git tag, creates a GitHub release, and generates checksums + attestations.

Auto-Trigger on Tag Push

name: Release
on:
  push:
    tags: ['v*.*.*']  # Triggers when you push v1.0.0, v0.5.1, etc.
  workflow_dispatch:  # Manual trigger fallback if needed
    inputs:
      tag: {required: true, type: string}

jobs:
  create-release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      version: ${{ steps.get_version.outputs.version }}  # Share version with build jobs
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - id: get_version
        run: |
          # Extract version from tag (v1.0.0 → 1.0.0)
          if [ "${{ github.event_name }}" = "push" ]; then
            echo "version=${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          else
            echo "version=${{ inputs.tag }}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          fi
      - run: gh release create ${{ steps.get_version.outputs.version }} --draft  # Create draft release
        env: {GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}}

  build:
    needs: create-release  # Wait for release to be created
    strategy:
      matrix:  # Build all platforms in parallel
        include:
          - {os: macos-latest, target: x86_64-apple-darwin, archive: dmg}    # macOS Intel
          - {os: macos-latest, target: aarch64-apple-darwin, archive: dmg}   # macOS Apple Silicon
          - {os: windows-latest, target: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, archive: msi}  # Windows
          - {os: ubuntu-latest, target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, archive: deb}  # Linux
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
        with: {targets: ${{ matrix.target }}}

      # Platform-specific builds happen here (DMG, MSI, DEB creation)

      # Generate checksums with unique filenames to avoid artifact collisions
      - run: sha256sum * | tee checksums-${{ matrix.target }}.txt
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: yourapp-${{ matrix.target }}  # Unique artifact name per platform
          path: |
            *.dmg
            *.msi
            ../*.deb
            checksums-*.txt

Tip: Use matrix.target in artifact names to prevent collisions when uploading from parallel jobs.

SLSA Attestations

# Add supply chain security attestations to prove build provenance
- uses: actions/attest-build-provenance@v1
  with: {subject-path: 'yourapp.${{ matrix.archive }}'}

What this adds: Cryptographic proof that the artifact was built by this repo's workflow. Users can verify authenticity:

gh attestation verify yourapp.dmg --owner yourname

Shows: Exact commit SHA, workflow run, and timestamp that built the artifact.

Homebrew Auto-Update

Cross-Repo Trigger (repository_dispatch)

Step 1: Target workflow (homebrew-yourapp)

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs: {version: {required: true, type: string}}
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [update-formulae]

jobs:
  update:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - id: get-version
        run: |
          if [ "${{ github.event_name }}" = "repository_dispatch" ]; then
            echo "version=${{ github.event.client_payload.version }}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          else
            echo "version=${{ inputs.version }}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          fi
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: gh release download "v${{ steps.get-version.outputs.version }}" --repo yourname/yourapp --pattern "checksums.txt"
        env: {GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}}
      - id: checksums
        run: |
          echo "arm64_sha=$(grep aarch64-apple-darwin checksums.txt | awk '{print $1}')" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          echo "x86_64_sha=$(grep x86_64-apple-darwin checksums.txt | awk '{print $1}')" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
      - run: |
          sed -i "s/version \".*\"/version \"${{ steps.get-version.outputs.version }}\"/" Formula/yourapp.rb
          # Update URLs and SHAs...
      - run: |
          git config user.name "github-actions[bot]"
          git config user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
          git add Formula/ Casks/
          git commit -m "chore: update to v${{ steps.get-version.outputs.version }}"
          git push

Step 2: Send dispatch from main repo

update-homebrew:
  needs: [create-release, build, checksums]
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  if: ${{ !contains(needs.create-release.outputs.version, '-') }}  # Skip pre-releases
  steps:
    - run: |
        VERSION=${{ needs.create-release.outputs.version }}
        curl -L -X POST \
          -H "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.HOMEBREW_DISPATCH_TOKEN }}" \
          https://api.github.com/repos/yourname/homebrew-yourapp/dispatches \
          -d "{\"event_type\":\"update-formulae\",\"client_payload\":{\"version\":\"${VERSION#v}\"}}"

⚠️ Important: Use Personal Access Token (HOMEBREW_DISPATCH_TOKEN) with repo scope, not GITHUB_TOKEN (can't trigger cross-repo workflows).

Complete Automation

Single command release:

cargo release patch --execute

Automation chain:

1. cargo-release → version bump, crates.io publish, tag push
2. Tag push → GitHub Actions (release creation, platform builds)
3. Builds complete → Checksums, SLSA attestations uploaded
4. repository_dispatch → Homebrew formula update

⚠️ cargo-release Tag Naming (Universal Limitation)

Issue: cargo-release tags workspace members as package-v0.6.14 (not v0.6.14), which doesn't match standard v*.*.* GitHub Actions triggers.

This is intentional cargo-release behavior - it's designed to handle monorepos with independently versioned packages. For single-version workspaces, you must manually create the simple tag.

Symptom: After cargo release patch --execute, workflow doesn't trigger even though tags were pushed.

Verification:

git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -5
# Shows: yourapp-v0.6.14, yourapp-gui-v0.6.14 (wrong)
# Should show: v0.6.14 (correct)

Workaround: Manually create and push the simple vX.Y.Z tag:

# Create simple tag (disable GPG signing if needed)
GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0='tag.gpgSign' GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0='false' \
  git tag -a v0.6.14 -m "Release v0.6.14 - Description here"

# Push the tag
git push origin v0.6.14 --no-verify

# Verify workflow triggered
gh run list --workflow=release.yml --limit 1

Root cause: cargo-release uses package names in tags for workspace members. The GitHub Actions workflow triggers on v*.*.* pattern which doesn't match package-v*.*.*.

Alternative: Configure release.toml to customize tag format (not yet tested).

Checklist:

• on: push: tags: ['v*.*.*'] in release workflow
• Version extraction handles both push and workflow_dispatch
• Homebrew workflow listens for repository_dispatch
• Main workflow sends dispatch after successful build
• release.toml configured
• After cargo-release, manually create v*.*.* tag

Monitor:

gh run watch
gh run list --limit 5
