[bug] on macOS call systray set_icon will cause memory leak

[zangdale]

Describe the bug

I want to change the icon on notifications area, I found that each calling method "app.tray_handle().set_icon(tauri::Icon::Raw(include_bytes!("../icons/2.png").to_vec())).unwrap();" will increase memory.

loop {
                    let icon_row = icons.get(i % icons_len);
                    if let Some(v) = icon_row {
                        app.tray_handle().set_icon(v.clone()).unwrap();
                    } else {
                        println!("Failed to open the file.");
                    }
                    i = i + 1;
                    if i == icons_len {
                        i = 0;
                    }
                    thread::sleep(ten_millis);
}

Reproduction

Continuous calls “set_icon()”

This is not only limited to set_icon. I'm noticing similar behavior when calling set_title and set_menu.

[dustinblackman]

Currently able to repro on MacOS using Tauri 1.6.7, where each update I push to my tray adds nearly 1MB of memory that never frees. It's unclear why values passed in to set_icon + friends do not properly drop memory after they're replaced. I've dug a bit and haven't found anything so far. I'm wondering if this is happening outside of rust and in the OS bindings instead?

[dustinblackman]

Digging deeper it looks like this may be the cause:

SSheldon/rust-objc#80

Possible alternative here that may solve this in the future tauri-apps/wry#1239

Specifically for tray icon: tauri-apps/tray-icon#172

Can someone confirm whether that's still an issue with latest v2?
