(Stub ticket - I have no idea what's involved.)

Looks like a UWP shell may be a hard requirement (not verified). Electron supports UWP deployments: https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/windows-store-guide

If running the daemon is an issue, we can wait until lbryweb is ready. Will investigate further, @seanyesmunt and @shyba let me know if you find anything new.

I will also explore AppCenter and see if they make UWP deployments easier. (@akinwale knows, I love AppCenter)

Also worth consideration: React Native for UWP https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows

Semi-blocked on setting up LBRY as an org for "Microsoft Developer" registration. Should have this done shortly with @finer9 and @lyoshenka

@skhameneh is this different than whatever certification or process we went through with MS already? I'm pretty sure we had to do some sort of registration to sign our apps in the first place.
