Gitea artifacts need an account with read access to download, which makes them useless for handing a build to someone outside the project -- the actual reason a test APK gets built in the first place. An optional publish input attaches the APK to a pre-release instead, whose assets are a plain public URL on a public repo. No merge to master, no MR, no version tag, and the tester needs no account. Safe from a feature branch on two counts. The tag is test-<branch> rather than v*, and only v* triggers build-release.yml, so nothing else reacts to it. And it cannot reach existing users: the desktop updater reads a static latest.json from the updater branch, not the release list. Re-dispatching the same branch replaces the APK on the existing pre-release rather than accumulating one release per attempt.
JellyTau
A cross-platform Jellyfin client built with Tauri, SvelteKit, and TypeScript.
Business logic lives in a Rust backend; a UI-rich Svelte frontend handles presentation and talks to it over Tauri's IPC. Targets Linux (libmpv) and Android (ExoPlayer).
Getting Started
This project uses bun as its package manager.
# Activate the Rust environment (fish shell)
source "$HOME/.cargo/env.fish"
# Install dependencies
bun install
# Run in development
bun run tauri dev
# Type-check the frontend
bun run check
# Build for Linux
bun run tauri build
# Build for Android
bun run tauri android build
For the full set of build, test, and Android helper scripts, see scripts/README.md.

Contributing
CONTRIBUTING.md covers the setup, the gates a change has to pass, and the two rules that catch people out (bug fixes start with a failing test; Jellyfin's taxonomy stays in Rust). Please also read the Code of Conduct.

Verifying a download
Every release publishes SHA256SUMS covering all of its artifacts, plus an SBOM
of what went into the build:
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
Desktop builds update themselves from Settings → Updates, verifying each payload against JellyTau's signing key before installing. Android installs are handled by the system installer, so the app links to the releases page instead.
Recommended IDE Setup
VS Code + Svelte + Tauri + rust-analyzer.
