I think theres already PHP GTK from the PHP God Pablo DallOglio |

Yes, I started by exploring PHP-GTK. It was a project that held a lot of promise. Sadly, it hasn't been moved forward in quite a few years. Quote from the project's official site:

Great idea. Previously I had to combine Laravel 8 with standalone PHP to embed in Electron manually, now everything is convenient. Congratulations! Can you tell me if combining with ionCube to encrypt PHP files and combining with bytecode to encrypt js files is possible when using Native PHP? Regarding the .env file issue, how should we do to avoid exposing information to clients? |

This will change the entire trend on how things are usually supposed to work in IT industry, I already have invested and got killer PC but so far all i am doing is JUST doing web apps and playing games, this will really help me consume 32Gb of my ram, and not just for high end games. |

After reading this release notice, I could just have time to test it today, but I couldn't get it to work on Windows nor on WSL. |

Dependent on the issues you're seeing, we can certainly help. Unfortunately, without provided errors, we can't yet assist. Could you perhaps either open a dedicated thread in Discussions here or throw your errors into the support channel on Discord? We'll get you building great apps in no time. |

Hi, I have followed all steps but I get this error when running I'm under ArchLinux GNU/Linux and in Android Studio I have even created a new Device Emulator but with default one "Medium_Phone_API_36" or new one "Pixel_9" I get the same error. The app is just a Laravel basic install with Livewire. Please, tell me if this is not the place to send those kind of queries. Best |

Hi, I am currently working on a desktop application that prevents users from accessing the desktop. This means that once the PC is initialized (or after initialization), the desktop application will cover all desktop windows, so users can't access anything. However, by default, the app includes built-in functionality such as "Close," "Minimize," and "Maximize." I wish to remove these features and make the app cover the entire screen (LCD) so users cannot access anything unless they log in. The app works based on an API. Is there a way to implement this functionality with NativePHP, or are there any other tips that could be helpful to me? The reason I need to create this portal is to track who uses the PC. Through the API, I can get logs from the user once they log in, at which point the application will automatically minimize or hide, and automatic close after login ! For you to have an idea imagine the timeDoctor? https://www.timedoctor.com I found the codes electron from the internet however I am wondering if there's NativePHP approach or else can we use electron functionality integrate with NativePHP and how? const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron');
let win;
function createWindow() {
win = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
frame: false, // Hide window frame
fullscreen: true, // Start in full-screen mode
kiosk: true, // Enable kiosk mode (locks the app to the screen)
alwaysOnTop: true, // Keeps the window on top of other windows
transparent: false, // No transparency (optional)
backgroundColor: '#000000', // Optional: Set a solid background color
});
win.loadURL('your-app-url-or-file.html');
// Prevent closing via the window close button
win.on('close', (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
});
}
app.whenReady().then(createWindow);
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
app.quit();
}
});Hello there! |

🎉 WE DID IT! We finally got to
v1. I almost don't believe it!This is an awesome milestone. For a project that started as just an idea, to see it reach a truly stable place and support building powerful apps across all major platforms is just incredible.
NativePHP came to life just 2 years ago (April 1, 2023) when I shared on Twitter some early success in a side project that I'd been working on for a few months.
Taylor Otwell said: "Very interested".
Aaron Francis voted: "Yes please".
That was all the encouragement we needed!
Today, it's the best way for Laravel devs to build distributable desktop apps.
Go get it!
To get these updates, you simply need to update the dependency in your
composer.json:And then run
composer update.If you've been using any of the
betareleases and want to set yourminimum-stabilityback tostable, you can now do so.You can find all the details about the releases on our Release Notes page.
In case you missed it, v1 drops support for Laravel 10 and PHP 8.1 and 8.2.
You will also need Node v22 as a minimum now.
It feels amazing to finally wrap everything we've been doing in a production-grade label.
Go tell all your friends! NativePHP is ready for primetime!
But, of course, we're far from finished!
What's next?
We've got more additions to the NativePHP docs coming in the next few days to wrap up some final missing pieces, we'll give these releases a couple of weeks to settle down (probably with a few patch releases here and there to mop up any bugs).
Also, check out our Kitchen Sink app, which is now published. It's a pretty neat little demonstration of many of the things you can do with NativePHP for desktop today and we'll be adding more to it as time goes by.
Then we'll be spending some time working out what features make sense to build next for desktop. We've already got a few ideas, but if there's anything you're especially keen for, please make it known in the Discussions, either by voting for existing Ideas or creating new ones.
Beyond just the libraries, there's Zephpyr, the build service for NativePHP, which is already in early access. It's open to sponsors and NativePHP for mobile EAP members right now and we're steadily rolling it out to more and more users who are helping us with testing, bug hunting and feedback.
Think of Zephpyr as the "Laravel Forge" for NativePHP apps. We're focusing on NativePHP for desktop support right now, but we'll be adding support for mobile apps too with plenty more features over the coming months.
We're going to make building and distributing your NativePHP apps dead easy. Zephpyr will be generally available via subscription in the coming months.
Folks who join the Zephpyr early access now will get preferential discounts at launch. Or you can join the waitlist via zephpyr.com for a more modest launch day discount.
Thanks
Huge thanks are in order for the core contributors. Without these fine gents,
v1certainly would not have happened so soon!Thank you @SRWieZ @gwleuverink and @PeteBishwhip 🙏🏼
Thank you all for your tireless efforts over the past few weeks pushing this forward; countless hours testing, building, bundling, and publishing apps; making, reviewing and merging PRs; triaging issues and just being awesome on Discord; waiting hours and hours for Apple notarization (and also for a new baby—congrats Willem!)
Thanks to all contributors.
And thanks to all our sponsors for supporting this monumental effort, but especially:
I really hope you enjoy building apps with the very best version of NativePHP yet.
P.S. I love seeing what you're building, so please come share with us all over on Discord!
