Note: In the following examples cefbuilds are for 64-bit. You can also use 32-bit - the right binaries need to be downloaded.

CEF binaries are automatically downloaded for Windows builds for Nuget packages. For all platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS, binaries are downloaded at runtime if configured to do so by the developer. Auto download at runtime is the default.

   • MacOS

     • Copy the file \Release\Chromium Embedded Framework.framework\Chromium Embedded Framework to the appropriate bin folder - where the project exe file is
     • Rename that file to libcef.dylib
     • Copy all files and folders from \Release\Chromium Embedded Framework.framework\Libraries\* to appropriate bin folder - where the project exe file is located.
