• Click on the "+" button in the top right hand corner of the list and choose "Select files or folders to add...", which will then display a regular Open dialog.

Add Files Options

Destination menu

Displayed towards the right of the file/folder in the list. This menu allows the destination of the item to be specified. Mouse over it and it will show as a menu.

Channel selector

On the far right of the list item is a segmented controls that reads "Web" & " Store" select either or both of these to have the item added for that channel.

Debugging

Under the channel selector is two checkboxes, "🐞" is to include the item when debugging. While "Hardlink" will select if the item is hardlinked into the application or copied for a debug build.

A Hardlink is where a reference to the file data is created at that location, this is much faster than copying the file, but it also means any modifications made to the file inside of the bundle will be reflected on the original as well.

Code signing options

These options only appear for executable items. There are 3 options.

• Auto codesign
  Allows App Wrapper to choose what it thinks is the most appropriate option.
• Main Entitlements
  Forces the item to be signed with the main entitlements, this allows the executable to called via the terminal and from other applications outside of the bundle.
• Do not codesign
  Disables App Wrapper from code signing the executable. You are then required to make sure that the executable is signed with a matching identity as the main application.

If you wish to remove an item from the Application bundle, please see Modify Files. If you no longer wish for App Wrapper to add specific files or folders to your application, read on.

1. Right click on the item to remove from the list.
2. Select "Remove" from the contextual menu.
3. Confirm that the item is to be removed.

Temporarily Disable
