Known issues and Limitations

...for end-users:

  • Downloading of files from a Holochain App to the file system is not yet supported on macOS but will likely be added soon (tauri-apps/tauri#4633)
  • Launcher can freeze on macOS if an app is opened while in full-screen mode
  • App windows don't have their own menu on macOS (tauri-apps/tauri#5768)
  • Clicking on "Open App" of an app that is already open will not unminimize it on some Linux distributions in case it is minimized (tauri-apps/tauri#5974)

...for hApp developers:

  • Turning on Developer Mode in Advanced Settings of the Launcher does not work on certain older macOS distributions
  • Tauri uses the webview of the platform the Launcher is running on, meaning that hApps need to be bundled for those older target browsers in order to be compatible on older operating systems.
  • WebRTC is not yet supported for Linux (tauri-apps/wry#85)
