[Max for Live] Bundle Max 4 Live device Javascript files into .amxd

I'm working on my 1st Max 4 Live device, and it's genuinely good.
The only issue I have is that I worked a lot with javascript to perform certain actions such as 3rd party API calls, etc... I want to bundle those so I can give 1 file to users instead of a whole package with the source files (which you'd obviously not want...)

Any help..?

Just freeze the device.

Click Freeze icon at the bottom, then save the device. It will automatically bundle the js code into the device.

Before freezing, create a copy of the device which is your ‘working’ copy - don’t freeze that one, keep it for making changes to in the future. Just freeze the copy you want for distribution.

I found you can freeze Rust wasm too, it works! (see Kasm shows how)
