When [creating](create-flet-app) and [running](running-app) Flet app using uv, you'll need to use `uv run` before each command!
:::

:::warning
On Windows, Flet apps may exit silently if `uv` uses **symbolic links** to manage the virtual environment. Flet requires **hardlink** (default) or **copy** mode to correctly locate its binary dependencies.

If you encounter this issue, force the link mode to `copy` in your `pyproject.toml`:

```toml
[tool.uv]
link-mode = "copy" #or "hardlink"
```
