Generating MSIX for Microsoft Store and ad-hoc deployment

[Patrick PREMARTIN 52]

Hi

 

Once again I get stuck on generating an MSIX package for Microsoft Store while I also generate MSIX packages in direct deployment (without the Microsoft Store information in the application manifest).

 

Am I the only one who gets stuck on this kind of thing and wants to deploy from the IDE for both delivery modes (which is simple for other platforms but not so easy for Windows because of conception choices) ?

 

Do you use Microsoft Store to distribute your projects?

 

Do you use the IDE's deployment system for that?

 

I ended up creating two versions of my project to have two options files ! One for all platforms and one for the Microsoft Store just to stop switching in the project options on settings that the IDE doesn't register correctly and to have a version number that Microsoft accepts for its application store.
