I think you've misunderstood my comment: Ishiiruka would ultimately just not be a factor once the mainline-Slippi beta build becomes the official Slippi build (whenever it happens, there is no official ETA). That is effectively the rebased version.

These are already usable via the Slippi Launcher, etc. on Slippi Dolphin uses GTK on KDE Plasma (Qt Desktop) whilst Upstream uses Qt 2 weeks ago
Ishiiruka (the fork that Slippi's stable build uses) is old and uses GTK via wxWidgets - nothing is being translated.

The mainline beta is using QT since it's what mainline Dolphin uses. That's the future, there is likely nothing that'll change in Ishii. on Slippi Dolphin uses GTK on KDE Plasma (Qt Desktop) whilst Upstream uses Qt 2 weeks ago

Yeah, it's most likely that the NSURLRequest that the Action has needs to be retained.

You could tweak src/webview/action.rs absolute_url to call retain rather than from_retained, would likely fix it. If it does, feel free to PR it. on _action.request.absolute_url() exit with segmentation fault error 3 weeks ago
Sounds like shenanigans with retain/release in the ObjC layer. Can you share a quick test case by any chance? on _action.request.absolute_url() exit with segmentation fault error 3 weeks ago
Mmm, need more info before we can even begin to debug this.

What version of macOS? What version of cacao - published release on crates.io or trunk? on _action.request.absolute_url() exit with segmentation fault error 3 weeks ago
