The code architecture require improve

[lin-calvin]

Rencently, i road the code of this project, but I found there are several things can be done in a more beautiful way
Firstly, fletd will be download by the code when the first time run. however,pipy can distribute the packages for each system and architecture, so the you needn't download it by your self, just bundle them into the package, (see flet.py,line 284)
Secondly, the flet client has the same problem to the fletd and it will be decompression everytime that system boot on linux, because /tmp is a "ramdisk" on most linux. so, just put the uncompression client files into the package this will make it start faster
In addition could you add a full api reference?
(Sorry for my English)

fletd or flet is already bundled with the packaged flet*.whl file.

	p = Path(__file__).parent.joinpath("bin", fletd_exe)
	if p.exists():
	fletd_path = str(p)
	logging.info(f"Flet Server found in: {fletd_path}")
	else:
	# check if flet.exe is in PATH (flet developer mode)
	fletd_path = which(fletd_exe)
	if not fletd_path:
	# download flet from GitHub (python module developer mode)
	fletd_path = _download_fletd()
	else:
	logging.info(f"Flet Server found in PATH")

flet/sdk/python/flet/flet.py

Lines 372 to 379 in 5f915d5

	flet_exe = "flet.exe"
	temp_flet_dir = Path(tempfile.gettempdir()).joinpath(f"flet-{version.version}")
	# check if flet_view.exe exists in "bin" directory (user mode)
	p = Path(__file__).parent.joinpath("bin", "flet", flet_exe)
	if p.exists():
	flet_path = str(p)
	logging.info(f"Flet View found in: {flet_path}")

oh,I forgot to check this, i will make a strikethrough for it, however,the second still require a fix.

[FeodorFitsner]

That's all related to #161

First, it's not a good solution to unpack Flet client to a temp folder. Will be fixed in the next release.
Second, the decision to keep Flet client's .tar.gz inside .zip was made because ZIP archives (and .whl is a regular ZIP) do not preserve original file attributes such as "executable". However, I'll explore if it's feasible to do chmod instead of unpacking.

[FeodorFitsner]

Maybe I'm not right regarding attributes inside zip. I'm verifying that.

[FeodorFitsner]

Anyway, let's close this issue in favour of #161

[FeodorFitsner]

No, I was wrong! The problem is not permissions, but symlinks. macOS application bundle (Flet.app) has symlinked directories/files inside and .zip does not support symlinks, but .tar.gz does.

but why but a bundle inside package？i think put the file directly will be better

[FeodorFitsner]

What do you mean by "file"?

[lin-calvin]

What do you mean by "file"?

the flet client(for example flet-linux-arm64.tar.gz on a arm system)

[FeodorFitsner]

On macOS Flutter produces a bundle, not a single executable.
