Tauri Setapp Plugin

Integrate Setapp's framework into Tauri Mac apps

Overview

The Setapp framework is automatically loaded when this plugin is initialized. This is achieved by calling a Swift bridge (SetappBridge) from Rust.

Installation

1. Install the plugin

Add to cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
tauri-plugin-setapp = { git = "https://github.com/nlap/tauri-plugin-setapp.git", tag = "v2.0.0" }

2. Register the plugin

fn main() {
  tauri::Builder::default()
    .plugin(tauri_plugin_setapp::init())
    .run(tauri::generate_context!())
    .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

3. Add your Setapp public key

https://docs.setapp.com/docs/add-a-public-key-to-your-app-1

In tauri.conf.json, add:

"resources": ["./setappPublicKey.pem"],

4. Update your Info.plist

https://docs.setapp.com/docs/allow-setapp-to-update-your-app-on-macos-13

In src-tauri/Info.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>NSUpdateSecurityPolicy</key>
    <dict>
        <key>AllowProcesses</key>
        <dict>
        <key>MEHY5QF425</key>
        <array>
            <string>com.setapp.DesktopClient.SetappAgent</string>
        </array>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

5. Disable Tauri's updater

In tauri.conf.json:

{
  "tauri": {
    "updater": {
      "active": false
    }
  }
}

Usage

Regular app usage events are automatically reported by Setapp framework. You can invoke other framework features from Javascript:

• ask_user_to_share_email
• show_release_notes_window_if_needed
• show_release_notes_window

invoke('plugin:setapp|ask_user_to_share_email', { });

Cross-platform considerations

This plugin is cross-platform compatible and can be safely included in builds for any OS. On non-macOS platforms, the plugin remains inactive and has no effect.
