Support & Contribution

The MalChela project is open source and actively maintained. Contributions, feedback, and bug reports are always welcome. You can find the project on GitHub, where issues and pull requests are encouraged.

Known Limitations & Platform Notes

MalChela is designed to be cross-platform but has some current limitations:

  • The CLI runs well on macOS, Linux, and WSL environments.
  • The GUI is supported on macOS and Linux. It may also work under WSLg on Windows 11, but this is not officially tested.
  • File paths must use POSIX-style formatting (e.g., /home/user/file.txt). Windows-style paths are not supported.
  • If the exec_type field is missing or misconfigured in tools.yaml, GUI execution may fail or behave incorrectly.
  • The category field in tools.yaml no longer impacts GUI execution behavior—it is only used for grouping in the interface.

iOS 26 Development Panic

If you're running iOS 26 beta and encounter a runtime panic like the following:

thread 'main' panicked at /Users/you/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-*/icrate-0.0.4/.../NSEnumerator.rs:6:1: invalid message send ...

This is due to stricter signature checks in the Apple SDK when running in debug mode. The panic does not occur in release mode builds.

To avoid the crash, build and run in release mode:

cargo build --release
./target/release/MalChelaGUI

This issue does not affect normal usage or distribution of the application. Debug mode remains usable for building, but the GUI should be run from a release build on affected platforms.
