Build Commands Catalog

Below you'll find a list of build commands contributed by the Nativefier community. They are here as examples, to help you nativefy "complicated" apps that need a bit of elbow grease to work. We need your help to enrich it, as long as you follow these two guidelines:

1. Only add sites that require something special! No need to document here that simplesite.com works with a simple nativefier simplesite.com 🙂.
2. Please add commands with the strict necessary to make an app work. For example,
   • Yes to mention that --widevine or some --browserwindow-options are necessary...
   • ... but don't add other flags that are pure personal preference (e.g. --disable-dev-tools or --disk-cache-size).

Google apps

(This example documents Google Sheets, but is applicable to other Google apps)

nativefier 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets' \
  --user-agent 'user agent of current stable Firefox'

Note: lying about the User Agent is required, else Google will notice your "Chrome" isn't a real Chrome, and will refuse access.

Outlook

nativefier 'https://outlook.office.com/mail'
  --internal-urls '.*?(outlook.live.com|outlook.office365.com).*?'
  --file-download-options '{"saveAs": true}'
  --browserwindow-options '{"webPreferences": { "webviewTag": true, "nodeIntegration": true, "nodeIntegrationInSubFrames": true, "nativeWindowOpen": true } }'

Note: --browserwindow-options is needed to allow pop-outs when creating/editing an email.

Udemy

nativefier 'https://www.udemy.com/'
  --internal-urls '.*?udemy.*?'
  --file-download-options '{"saveAs": true}'
  --widevine

Note: most videos will work, but to play some DRMed videos you must pass --widevine AND sign the app.
