How to deploy app from Mac to Linux (with Browser widget) ?

[panagiotis m]

Hello Ben,

Unfortunately the browser widget is still broken on most Linux distros. You
might be able to work this around in your app by using "launch url .." if
the platform is Linux, to use the default browser instead of the browser
widget.

Kind regards,
Panos
