The Windows App SDK empowers all Windows desktop apps with modern Windows UI, APIs, and platform features, including back-compat support, shipped via NuGet.
Hello,
I noticed that Dev Home app has a few groups of widgets in Widgets boards. You need to install extensions to enable more widgets.
I wanted to create similar solution and put everything in one solution without creating extensions for my app, so I declared more appExtensions with different Ids and widget definition ids:
It compiles correctly without any manifest validation errors, and I can see all declared extensions as groups of widgets in the widget picker. However, there seems to be an issue. Is there a limit to the number of such extensions in the package manifest? I encounter errors when I add more than 3-5 appExtensions. Sometimes, the widgets board fails to load widgets. The second error occurs when I add a few widgets, close the board, and then reopen it. Instead of pinned widgets, I only see this message:
Hello, is there any ETA for this issue? If it's not a prioritized area, just let me know. I don't want to waste my time implementing something that will never work :(
