When ever i am opening the app created by appacker first a terminal flash then it start same happen when closing the app

SerGreen commented 2 years ago

That's normal. Terminal that you see is a console application that performs unpacking into a temp folder and then launches the unpacked target application. This console app is set up to hide itself right away, but it still results in it being visible for a split-second.
When the target app is closed this console tool checks if any files were changed and performs re-packing if needed.

Yes, but is there any way of hiding the terminal

SerGreen commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately i didn't find a way for that.

It should be noted, however, that terminal was completely hidden before (v1.3.3 and earlier) because back then it was a windowless program (compared to terminal program that hides itself currently). I changed it to terminal because a windowless program can't redirect its I/O and it interfered with launching packed applications from command line.
So one option for you would be to use v1.3.3, however, it's 3 years old and is missing all the features and fixes of newer versions.

I'll see if i will be able to add a window-less package as an option for the next version of Appacker.
