Publishing with uiAccess

tqphan commented 2 months ago

Description

I'm trying to publish a .NET MAUI app on Windows with the following node added to the app.manifest.

<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
  <security>
    <requestedPrivileges>
      <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="true" />
    </requestedPrivileges>
  </security>
</trustInfo>

I followed the instructions on the official deployment documentation.

I copied the self-signed certificate to Trusted Root Certification Authorities under Local Machine.

When I try to run the app, I get the following error.

I also tried to run the app as administrator.

Steps to Reproduce

Create an .Net Maui App
Add the above XML node to app.manifest
Deploy for Windows using a self-signed certificate
Install the self-signed certificate to Trusted Authorities
Install package and run the app

Did you try this with a WinUI Template app that doesn't implement the MAUI UI Framework? Does it work there?

I figured out the problem. UIAccess requires the executable to be signed and located in C:\Program Files\

Apparently the dotnet publish only sign the msix package and not the executable itself (bug or strange design decision?)

dotnet / maui
