The result is an 11-digit integer. When the same path and binary is supplied manually to Steam via Add a Non-Steam Game, the resulting appid is 21 digits long. (Steam-generated appid can be explored via shortcuts.vdf or by generating a desktop shortcut internally through Steam) Is there a reason for this discrepancy?
Using the 21-digit appids to directly launch user-defined apps via the Steam browser protocol works, but the ones generated with the function above do not. I ask because I intend to reuse a portion of the logic above in an unrelated application. Thanks.
As a test (boiled down to the bare essentials):
