Windows UWP Builds/publishing app to Windows Store #181

What do you want to be added?

It would be wonderful if this could be built as a UWP app, and published to the Store, then it would be compatible with a bunch of new platforms, including Xboxes :)

Additional context

Currently afaik theres no Subsonic client for UWP or Xbox, and I miss playing music there. This would be a massive get, and potentially have other benefits to investigating (like distributing updates through the store to Windows clients, etc)

It is not a server side feature, I believe it's all client-side

On a side note, I would be very interested in helping out with this if it's greenlighted by you guys.

I personally don't think converting electron apps to UWP is something that can be done easily. Since that would require a whole rewrite of the app. Packing the app into the .appx format could be done quite easily with (https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-windows-store) to be able to publish it to the Windows Store. But this would result in not running on xbox due to the compiled AppX package still containing win32 executables. Putting that aside that concern there still would be loads of issues with publishing it and making it usable on xbox.
