🏁🍎🐧 Cross-Platform Itch App Manifests

See original GitHub issue

https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/manifest.html

If this is already possible, I apologize, but it’s not listed on the App Manifests page.

What I’m looking for is a way to provide a single app manifest that covers multiple operating systems at once. Currently you have to create separate .itch.toml files for each OS. For example, with a Unity game, the file in the Windows zip would link to FooBar.exe while the Linux zip would link to FooBar.x86_64. It is annoying to have to maintain multiple copies of .itch.toml for each OS. This also makes it difficult if you want to distribute a single ZIP that includes versions for multiple OSes.

Instead, I propose something like this:

[[actions]]
os = "windows"
name = "play"
path = "FooBar.exe"

[[actions]]
os = "linux"
name = "play"
path = "FooBar.x86_64"

Alternatively, perhaps something like this:

[[actions.windows]]
name = "play"
path = "FooBar.exe"

[[actions.linux]]
name = "play"
path = "FooBar.x86_64"

On Windows, the Linux actions would be simply ignored, as would any Mac actions, etc.

Eyy, itch v25 shipped! And it does implement all that.

Thanks for the friendly reminders @aaronfranke 😃 I’m not forgetting about it, but I’m in non-master-branch land again, porting even more stuff over to butler (all the login, search, session & local database stuff).
