Sign AppX from GitHub Releases #337

Closed bgiesing closed 3 years ago

bgiesing commented 4 years ago

The AppX in Releases can't be installed "App installation failed with error message: error 0x800B0100: The app package must be digitally signed for signature validation. (0x80070570)"

Ahh the appx from github is used for app store, I don't think it can be run directly.

bgiesing commented 4 years ago

AppX's can be sideloaded separate from the store, you just need to provide the certificate to install alongside it.

A few examples:

https://github.com/JasonStein/Notepads Zip file includes a script to automate install in Command Prompt
https://arlo.site/strixmusic/install/nightly/ Uses the native Windows installer instead but the user has to manually download and install the certificate under Additional Links to "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities" before clicking the install button

Ok cool! As I'm not using Windows myself and I have 0 experience with Windows app signing, I'm probably not going to spend much time on this. If someone wants to make a PR I'm happy to consider though. As long as it doesn't add too much complexity to the build process and can be 100% automated I'm ok with including signing.

Closing this as there's no response and I'm not going to implement this. As I wrote above, if someone wants to submit a PR for signing APPX I'm open for that
