is it possible to run clickonce application with Mono?

Question

i'm developing clickonce application which, potentially, i would like to distribute on Mac platform. I know i can compile .Net application wtih Mono - and it will work on Mac. But can I use clickonce as the installer then?

thanks!

Answer 1

I don't think Mono team has ever implemented the ClickOnce .NET APIs that make this possible. However, I think it should be kind of straightforward to implement them.

That being said, it might be wiser to just use the Mac backend for Squirrel. (Which is a project implemented by Github employees, used in their Github Windows client, that replaces/improves ClickOnce, as far as I know.)
