Tauri Bundler vs Terminal.Gui

Tauri Bundler is free Rust tooling for packaging applications as operating-system bundles and installers. Its build command bundles an application for its configured formats by default, with separate build and bundle steps available when customization is needed. Distribution documentation covers Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. Linux options include Debian, Snap, AppImage, Flatpak, RPM, and AUR; macOS apps can go through the App Store or be distributed as DMG installers. The guides also cover the Microsoft Store, Google Play, and the iOS App Store. Build instructions show commands for npm, yarn, pnpm, Deno, Bun, and Cargo, and Tauri documents a GitHub pipeline for building and releasing applications. Tauri describes the tooling as frontend-agnostic and says most frameworks work out of the box. However, it acts as a static web host and does not natively support server-based frontend alternatives such as SSR. Code signing is required on most platforms; macOS distribution outside the App Store also requires notarization. Tauri says major and minor releases undergo security audits. The bundler's public API is intended primarily for tauri-cli and does not strictly follow SemVer.
