cargo-bundle is a Cargo subcommand that wraps Rust executables into OS-specific application bundles and installers. It supports macOS .app bundles, Linux .deb and .AppImage packages, and Windows .msi installers, configured via a metadata section in Cargo.toml.

Use cases

• package a rust gui app as a macos .app bundle
• create a deb package from a cargo project
• build an appimage for my rust application
• generate an msi installer for a windows rust executable
• bundle a rust binary for distribution
• create a universal binary app bundle on macos

When to choose

• you have a Rust GUI executable and want native OS app bundles or installers
• you want packaging configured directly in Cargo.toml and driven by a cargo subcommand
• you need macOS universal binaries or Linux deb/AppImage output

When to avoid

• you need Android .apk or full rpm support, which is not yet available
• you need a full-featured installer with complex custom install logic
• iOS and Windows bundling is still experimental and may not fit production needs
