* Package tart binary into app bundle when running via run-signed.sh This is what happens when installing the tart application package as built by CI. We should stay as close as possible to the install situation during development, so that we get bug/behavior parity. For example, an app bundle behaves differently than a standalone executable when it comes to bringing up a Dock icon for the app. * Set activation policy to prohibited when starting in no graphics mode This ensures that the Dock icon is hidden.
Tart is a virtualization toolset to build, run and manage macOS and Linux virtual machines (VMs) on Apple Silicon. Built by CI engineers for your automation needs. Here are some highlights of Tart:
- Tart uses Apple's own
Virtualization.Frameworkfor near-native performance. - Push/Pull virtual machines from any OCI-compatible container registry.
- Use Tart Packer Plugin to automate VM creation.
- Easily integrates with any CI system.
Tart powers Cirrus Runners service — a drop-in replacement for the standard GitHub-hosted runners, offering 2-3 times better performance for a fraction of the price.
