Some notes on how to ship Tauri apps in production. Broken into three parts:

• Enabling licensing so users must provide a valid license to use the application
• Distribution: Bundling and distributing exectuables for various operating systems
• Signing: Avoid

Licensing

Distribution

Tauri enables easy builds.

Consider setting webviewInstallMode to offlineInstaller to enable offline installations. See: https://v2.tauri.app/de/distribute/windows-installer/#offline-installer

Signing

Signing is require to avoid the smart-screen warning on Windows. Yet, even when enabling signing, the smart-screen warning is not guaranteed to disappear, as this process depends on reputation.
