• Leverages existing Flutter desktop embedder on each platform
• Unlike Flutter desktop embedders, NativeShell provides consistent platform agnostic API
• Multi-window support
• Window management
  • Adjusting window styles and geometry
  • Modal dialogs
  • Windows can be set to track content size and resize automatically when content changes
• Platform menus (popup menu, menu bar)
• Drag and Drop
• Written in Rust, Flutter build transparently integrated with cargo

• This is project in a very experimental stage

Prerequisites:

1. Install Rust
2. Install Flutter
3. Enable Flutter desktop support
4. Switch to Flutter Master (flutter channel master; flutter upgrade)

Clone and run examples:

git clone https://github.com/nativeshell/examples.git
cd examples
cargo run

For Apple Silicon Macs, you might need to run the example using the flag to force x86_64 architecture:

rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin
cargo run --target=x86_64-apple-darwin

Alternatively you can use environment variables:

# Recommended if using rust-analyzer to minimize redundant rebuilds
export CARGO_TARGET_DIR=target/x86_64
export CARGO_BUILD_TARGET=x86_64-apple-darwin
cargo run
