WAPT macOS: Creating desktop shortcuts

Wapt version: 2.6.0.16795 - Enterprise Edition
Server OS: Debian 12
Target operating systems: MacOS 13.6.3 and 14.5
Os Machine administration: Win server 2022

Good morning,

We are looking for a way to create a Wapt package that allows the following to be created on the desktop of Mac users:
  • a shortcut to a network location (file server).
  • a shortcut to a website
I suspect the create_desktop_shortcut() command doesn't work on this OS

Have you ever done that?

Thank you

Hi Cédric,

the `setuphelpers create_desktop_shortcut` function isn't implemented for macOS. We'll look into adding it.

Regards,

Denis
