Quincy, Doing great. Great suggestion but unfortunately there is no API that I know of which Console Output can discover apps that implement a service since the connection is always established by the other apps.
I will look into adding an app extension that could do something like that.
A UWP app like ConsoleOutput can host extensions with a unique name like "ConsoleOutput.Source.1" Then any app that has that named app extensions in the manifest is discoverable by ConsoleOutput as being on the system. Then ConsoleOutput can start and interact with the app providing the extension. This could be used to trigger the app to start but that is probably not the right user flow.
Hey Michael
Long time no see, hope all is well.
This is a great tool thanks!
I think its particularly interesting for a QA team validating an xbox one UWP app.
One bit of suggestion is that I think it would be a better UX if the console app would search & discover apps that implement the app service it expects. That way it's very much like a remote debugger connection experience. It's somewhat tedious to write out the connection UX on the various platforms / devices.
