📦 Build & Packaging¶

Build commands, artifacts, and notes for each DailyCost Vault platform.

Command Reference¶

Command	Purpose	Artifacts
`pnpm build`	Web build	`dist/`
`pnpm tauri build`	Desktop build	Windows `.exe` / `.msi`, macOS `.dmg`, Linux `.deb` / `.AppImage`
`pnpm tauri android build`	Android build	`.apk` / `.aab`
`pnpm tauri ios build`	iOS build	`.ipa`
`pnpm tauri icon <source>`	Icon generation	Platform icons

The desktop build also produces the signed artifacts required for auto-updates (createUpdaterArtifacts) by default.

Web Build¶

pnpm build

Outputs a pure static site to dist/, deployable to any static host (GitHub Pages, etc.).

Desktop Build¶

pnpm tauri build

Artifacts per platform:

Windows: NSIS installer (x64 / ARM64)
macOS: .dmg (aarch64 M-series / x64 Intel)
Linux: .deb + .AppImage

Android Build¶

pnpm tauri android build

Outputs .apk. For a signed release, provide keystore info via environment variables (ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PATH / ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD / ANDROID_KEYSTORE_ALIAS / ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD); without them the build is unsigned.

iOS Build¶

pnpm tauri ios build

Outputs .ipa (release by default, frontend assets embedded for offline use). Requires macOS + Xcode; configure a development team in Xcode to run on a real device.

Browser Extension Packaging¶

Extension source lives in dailycost-exporter-extension/. For development you can load it directly via the browser's "Load unpacked extension".

To produce the zip used by the website download button:

# Run inside dailycost-exporter-extension (Windows PowerShell)
.\build-extension.ps1

Generates docs/assets/dailycost-exporter-extension.zip.

Versioning¶

The single source of truth for the version is the version field in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json; keep src-tauri/Cargo.toml in sync when releasing a new version.
