ab33eb594e* docs: fix custom protocol association documentation
The documentation was incorrectly referencing `wails.json` with JSON format
when the actual configuration file is `build/config.yml` using YAML format.
Changes:
- Update config file reference from `wails.json` to `build/config.yml`
- Change format from JSON to YAML in code examples
- Fix structure: `protocols` is at root level, not nested under `info`
- Correct template variable references from `{{.Info.Protocols}}` to `{{.Protocols}}`
- Update Info.plist example to show actual generated format (`wails.com.scheme`)
- Add note about running `wails3 task common:update:build-assets` after changes
- Clean up redundant file path references in platform-specific sections

Introduction
The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative!
Features
- Use standard Go for the backend
- Use any frontend technology you are already familiar with to build your UI
- Quickly create rich frontends for your Go programs using pre-built templates
- Easily call Go methods from Javascript
- Auto-generated Typescript definitions for your Go structs and methods
- Native Dialogs & Menus
- Native Dark / Light mode support
- Supports modern translucency and "frosted window" effects
- Unified eventing system between Go and Javascript
- Powerful cli tool to quickly generate and build your projects
- Multiplatform
- Uses native rendering engines - no embedded browser!

FAQ
-
Is this an alternative to Electron?
Depends on your requirements. It's designed to make it easy for Go programmers to make lightweight desktop applications or add a frontend to their existing applications. Wails does offer native elements such as menus and dialogs, so it could be considered a lightweight electron alternative.
-
Who is this project aimed at?
Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.
-
What's with the name?
When I saw WebView, I thought "What I really want is tooling around building a WebView app, a bit like Rails is to Ruby". So initially it was a play on words (Webview on Rails). It just so happened to also be a homophone of the English name for the Country I am from. So it stuck.
