Pipeline


frontend build  ─▶  backend bundle  ─▶  pack TYNDPKG  ─▶  PE patch (Windows)
                                                      ─▶  icon embed  ─▶  sign  ─▶  bundlers

See the Build Pipeline.

Signing

When bundle.sign is declared in tynd.config.ts, the raw binary is signed before any bundler copies it into an installer. Bundlers re-sign the outer artifact.

Windows — signtool.exe.
macOS — codesign --options runtime + optional notarytool submit + stapler.

See the Code Signing guide.

Cross-compilation

Not supported. Each host produces installers only for its own OS. Use a GitHub Actions matrix with windows-latest + macos-latest + ubuntu-latest runners.

See the Bundling guide.

Auto-downloaded tools

On first --bundle:

NSIS 3.09 (Windows nsis)
WiX v3.11.2 (Windows msi)
appimagetool latest (Linux appimage)

Cached to .tynd/cache/tools/<tool>/<version>/. rpmbuild must be installed separately (sudo apt install rpm / sudo dnf install rpm-build).
