I happen to be using the SP right now for another project. While trying to test MotoROS2, I have no idea how I'm supposed to set this up w/o switching to the annoying Classic Interface.

We should really document the process.

Or... better yet, the SP supports YIP packages. We could greatly simplify the installation process by maintaining an installer.

me neither, but don't we already have #59? :)

Not anymore we don't

Is there a command line version of the YIP packaging tool?

If not, that would mean 9 (?) more GUI workflows to go through on every release.

Or are .yips really .zips with a different extension?

I just learned the mechanism that SP uses to install Motoplus applications. It's got a size limit of < 1 MB.

So... no YIP for this. (Unless we use the desktop version of the YIP installer.)
