Blazor Hybrid AppKit project: wwwroot not copied to Resources in app bundle

[julian-baumann]

We need a Blazor Hybrid app for our project, but it cannot rely on .NET MAUI since MAUI uses Mac Catalyst instead of a native AppKit-based macOS app. I’m currently experimenting with getting this to work and have set up a test repository here: AppKitHybrid.

The issue I’ve run into is that the generated wwwroot folder is not being copied into the Resources folder of the app bundle. What would be the cleanest way to accomplish this—ideally through the .csproj configuration?

The simplest solution is probably to add the wwwroot items as BundleResource items, so something like this in your csproj:

<ItemGroup>
    <BundleResource Include="path/to/wwroot/**" />
</ItemGroup>

For a bit more information, see https://github.com/dotnet/macios/blob/main/dotnet/BundleContents.md.

No, I don't mean a static folder, I need the wwwroot folder that is being generated on build to be included
