[bug] hide taskbar icon on macos side is not working

[ayangweb]

Describe the bug

Hello developers, the property (skipTaskbar) and method (setSkipTaskbar) for hiding the taskbar icon in macos system are invalid when passed to true or false, and the corresponding method (set_skip_taskbar) is also invalid when written in rust. I don't know if windows is working because there is no windows available for testing! I hope you guys can solve the problem!

Reproduction

If the value of the skipTaskbar property of the windows configuration window in tauri.conf.json is true or false, the effect of hiding is not achieved, and then calling the setSkipTaskbar method of the api will not help either

Expected behavior

I want to hide the icons in the macos dock bar, and of course the same effect for windows

skip_taskbar does not work on macos, not a bug, but "expected" behavior. Also, skip_taskbar is window-specific which wouldn't have an effect on macos, since the dock icon is app-specific (i don't know how to explain it, so just ignore that if you don't understand me)

See #2358 and tauri-apps/tao#105 for the relevant macos feature requests.

For anyone who comes to this issue through googling, Tauri has already implemented this feature:

See

tauri/core/tauri/src/app.rs

Line 731 in 8fd79b8

pub fn set_activation_policy(&mut self, activation_policy: ActivationPolicy) {

To clarify, after few trial/error (I'm not familiar with Rust at all) I found this way to hide the default Docker icon and only show the one on the system tray (top nav):

fn main() {
  let tray_menu = SystemTrayMenu::new(); // insert the menu items here
  let system_tray = SystemTray::new().with_menu(tray_menu);
  tauri::Builder::default()
    .setup(|app| {
      // Make the docker NOT to have an active app when started
      app.set_activation_policy(tauri::ActivationPolicy::Accessory);
      Ok(())
    })
    .system_tray(system_tray)
  // ...

I apologize for getting back to you so late, it does work, thanks!

Thank you. Indeed.
