'Golang on macOS - how to pass arguments to .app executable
I'm building an app to display files paths on macOS in a window, it's working correctly when I compile it and run it from the CLI:
❯ go build main.go
❯ ./main "test1" "test2"
The app opens the window and correctly shows the paths of the files.
However, after running make and turning it into an .app executable, I obviously can't pass CLI arguments anymore.
If I try to drag and drop a picture, or any type of file over the app, nothing happens, and if I select a file and do right-clic + open with... {my app}, I get an error:
The document “not_default.gif” could not be opened. helloworld cannot open files in the “GIF image” format.
Do you have any idea of a library, documentation or code I can use to pass file paths to the .app executable, or what's causing the error when I try to open the files with my .app ?
