• Server mode now has a first-class production build, consistent with the desktop build tasks (#5693). task build:server builds a production binary by default (-tags server,production, -trimpath, stripped), and accepts DEV=true (development server), OBFUSCATED=true (garble) and EXTRA_TAGS. task run:server runs a development server. Dockerfile.server / task build:docker build the production server (-tags server,production) and the production frontend first; the image defaults to a pure-Go static build on distroless/static, with CGO_ENABLED, GO_IMAGE and RUNTIME_IMAGE exposed as overridable build args for CGO apps.

🤖 This is an automated nightly release generated from the latest changes on master.

Installation:

go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@v3.0.0-alpha2.109

⚠️ Alpha Warning: This is pre-release software and may contain bugs or incomplete features.

• Add global (system-wide) keyboard shortcuts via app.GlobalShortcut (Register, Unregister, UnregisterAll, IsRegistered, GetAll). Shortcuts fire even when the application is not focused. Implemented natively per platform with no third party dependencies: Carbon hot keys on macOS, RegisterHotKey on Windows, XGrabKey on X11, and the XDG Desktop Portal global shortcuts interface on Wayland.
• Add built-in MCP server: a Model Context Protocol server that starts automatically when the application is built with the mcp tag, letting LLM agents test and control a running Wails application — window control, DOM inspection, JavaScript evaluation, bound method calls, events and simulated mouse/keyboard input rendered with an animated on-screen cursor. No user code required: the mcp tag is added automatically by wails3 build/wails3 dev when WAILS_MCP=1 is set. Configured entirely via environment variables (WAILS_MCP_HOST, WAILS_MCP_PORT, WAILS_MCP_TIMEOUT, WAILS_MCP_HIDE_CURSOR).

• Bump webview2 to v1.0.26.

• Recover from transient runtime COM errors instead of exiting (#5658, #5580). Chromium.errorCallback previously called os.Exit(1) for any COM error, so a recoverable hiccup after startup killed the whole application. Runtime paths (Resize/GetClientRect, Navigate/NavigateToString, Init, MessageReceived, PutZoomFactor, OpenDevToolsWindow) now log and recover. In particular, a malformed/untrusted web message in MessageReceived is now dropped rather than taking the process down. This addresses the mixed-DPI monitor-crossing crash class (#5544, #5650). Environment/controller-creation paths remain fatal. Full diff: https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/compare/webview2/v1.0.25...webview2/v1.0.26

• Add application.System for runtime platform detection from shared code: System.IsMobile() (iOS/Android), System.IsDesktop() (macOS/Windows/Linux), System.IsServer() (the server build tag), and System.IsPlatform(application.PlatformMacOS|PlatformWindows|PlatformLinux|PlatformIOS|PlatformAndroid|PlatformServer) to test a single target directly. It compiles on every target so you can branch without build tags. Matching frontend helpers (System.IsMobile/IsDesktop/IsIOS/IsAndroid/...) are available in @wailsio/runtime
• Add a "Using Other Frontend Frameworks" guide showing how to drop your own Vite project into frontend/ (covers Solid, Preact, Lit, SvelteKit, Qwik, Angular, etc.)
• The wails3 setup wizard now checks the mobile (iOS/Android) toolchain — Xcode and the iOS Simulator runtime, JDK, Android SDK/NDK and emulator — with one-click install and copyable shell-config fixes where applicable
• Generated projects ship a frontend/.npmrc setting a 7-day minimum-release-age to reduce exposure to freshly published (potentially compromised) packages (honoured by pnpm and bun; harmlessly ignored by npm)

• Redesign all built-in starter templates with a new neon-mountain hero look (web, iOS and Android)
• TypeScript is now the default for starter templates and owns the bare template name. wails3 init (no -t) scaffolds a TypeScript project; -t vanilla, -t react, -t vue and -t svelte are TypeScript, with JavaScript variants at -t vanilla-js, -t react-js, -t vue-js and -t svelte-js. Built-in templates declare their language with typescript: in template.yaml; community templates using the -ts suffix continue to work as a fallback
• Redesign the wails3 setup wizard with the neon "digital Wails" theme (frosted-glass vibrancy over a mountain backdrop)

• Fix crash on Windows when restoring an app that was minimised long enough for WebView2 to suspend or its render/GPU process to be recycled. The minimise/restore DPI resync (#5544) now only touches the WebView2 controller when the window's DPI actually changed, avoiding fatal COM calls into a suspended controller on the common same-DPI restore (#5605)
• Fix repeated native SIGABRT/SIGSEGV crashes (typically inside g_object_unref during the GTK main loop) on long-running Linux apps under frequent asset/media loads. The asset server completed WebKitURISchemeRequests from worker goroutines, calling thread-unsafe WebKit2GTK functions off the GTK main thread; completion (webkit_uri_scheme_request_finish_with_response/finish_error) now runs on the main thread. Completes the partial fix in #5566. Affects both the GTK3 and GTK4/WebKitGTK 6.0 builds (#5631, #5557)
• Fix intermittent fatal error: invalid pointer found on stack in setupSignalHandlers on Linux/GTK3. Window IDs passed as signal user_data were held in a Go unsafe.Pointer local, so the garbage collector aborted when it scanned the (non-pointer) value during a stack copy. The ID is now kept integer-typed (uintptr_t) on the Go side, back-porting to the legacy GTK3 path the same fix #4958 applied to the GTK4 path (which switched the C signal functions to uintptr_t to clear -race/checkptr errors) (#5631)

• Remove the react-swc, preact, lit, solid, qwik and sveltekit starter templates (and their -ts variants). The supported built-in set is now vanilla, react, vue and svelte — each TypeScript by default, with -js JavaScript variants. Any other framework can still be used by bringing your own frontend or via a custom template

• Fix an iOS crash (SIGABRT) when a bound Go service method returns an empty string. The iOS asset response writer guarded the body pointer with buf != nil instead of its length, so a zero-length body made &buf[0] panic; it now guards on length, matching the desktop writers

• Rename mobile bridge events: cross-platform events now use the common:* prefix (e.g. common:haptic, common:location) and platform-exclusive events use ios:* / android:* (e.g. ios:backgroundTask, android:foregroundService); the native:* prefix is no longer used (#5602)
