It works for me as well. Just sayin'...

There is an iOS simulator via XCode available on the Mac you'll need to package and sign the app anyway. But if you don't want to buy a Mac (Minis are quite cheap though), you can rent a Mac online via services like MacInCloud, MacStadium or OakHost just to name a few.

You might consider adding scanning exemptions. Folders, that should not be scanned, because of high performance penalties. But you should keep an eye on those folders by other means.

Except carrying the rig around. *SCNR*

To expand (or perhaps reiterate) that answer: Components are not installed (or even bought) just to have them. If during programming you discover you would benefit from a ready to use component for some functionality over writing it yourself then you should consult the internet or perhaps this forum on where to find such a component. Event hen, if it is a commercial component, you might want to calculate the cost benefit over writing it yourself. Furthermore it is most often preferable to have sources for components to ensure their use over time.

I think it would be fair to say that Windows on ARM is not for legacy environments. It is intended for new mainstream devices. So no immediate support for decades old printers and other old hardware should be expected. However(!) as soon as it gets more traction I expect that to change.

You should rather read that as "they will open up the next major construction site as soon as there is money and manpower available, and it will take several releases until it is usable"...and even that should be taken with a grain of salt.

@oeko11 In English please...

Perhaps this will cause the DOGE to rethink their plans for COBOL (*) ...as a matter of fact I'm sure of it. (*) https://www.wired.com/story/doge-rebuild-social-security-administration-cobol-benefits/

OK, so good news: I finally got it. Thanks to "msix hero" an OS tool specifically made for everything msix. https://github.com/marcinotorowski/MSIX-Hero. It just signed my little test project right away. Now I can go on working. Thanks everyone for your contributions and support.

That site has been up for a week. You can work fast with Delphi, but you can't work magic.

How does this construct work on Windows? As expected?

Oh, that sounds great. For a test run, I downloaded the installer and am quite overwhelmed by the further needs (service user, SSL-certificate, Server) to run the "server". For a small test if my msix could be signed by this, it seems quite the overkill. 😞

I have, and that uses an older version of signtool: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\signtool.exe" sign /v /a /fd SHA256 C:\Win\SignTest\Win64\Release\SignTest\bin\SignTest.msix The following certificate was selected: Issued to: My Company Issued by: Certum Extended Validation Code Signing 2021 CA Expires: Sat Jan 08 12:11:18 2028 SHA1 hash: E7C16794EA23F573DE3EA32B5B564717CE84CC75 Done Adding Additional Store SignTool Error: An unexpected internal error has occurred.
