Hide terminal window for Golang apps when launched from Finder in OSX about webview HOT 2 CLOSED

@joeblew99 I believe this is not related to the windowsgui flag. On windows there are two subsystems, console and windows. They often have two different entry points (main vs WinMain). But on MacOS it's all the same executable.

The reason you see a terminal window is because you launch the binary directly and not as an app bundle. I have added app bundle option to the cmakelists in the examples. But for Go you probably have to build an app bundle manually.

Try running the following commands:

mkdir -p minimal.app/Contents/MacOS
go build -o minimal.app/Contents/MacOS/minimal

Now in Finder you should see minimal.app, clicking on that would launch a GUI window without a terminal. Of course, for a more proper app you would also have to add minimal.app/Contents/Info.plist XML file and maybe some minimal.app/Contents/Resources/minimal.icns for icons. But that depends on the way you package/distribute your app, and I don't think library should be responsible for such things.

Hope it helps.
