Im using msix to compile to store but doing that i lose the 'shorebird' , and shore just build an exe and windows store expect a msix

That's a good question. I'm not hugely familiar with the Windows store.
You're using this? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/packaging-tool/tool-overview

im using the msix package from flutter
but i think i need to build by myself the msix
the problem is that msix package rebuild the app and not use the previous build in release folder

Yeah, interesting. Would you mind filing a feature request? Windows is still in beta, and this seems like it might be useful to add before it moves out of beta
autumn juniper
sure 🙂

Thank you!
autumn juniper
no, thank you , im very happy with shorebird

Looking at the source, it looks like this would be a fairly straightforward change in https://github.com/YehudaKremer/msix/blob/main/lib/src/windows_build.dart

i sent a issue in the root package (msix) to see if there is a way to do it, or i can fork it maybe and change for my purpose to not build
if (_args['build-windows'].toString() == 'false' ||
yaml['build_windows']?.toString().toLowerCase() == 'false') {
buildWindows = false;
}
found it 🙂 lets try
it woks @here
i had to go deep to findit but keep this in a QA in a future

there is a yaml string that you can put
build-windows: false here
msix_config:
display_name: xxxx
logo_path: xxxx
publisher_display_name: xxxx
identity_name: xxxx
publisher: CN=xxxxx
build_windows: false <<<
doing that, it will not build again
but, msix is important to upload in store, maybe you can merge shorebird to build msix like you do in --artifact=apk for instance
--artifact=msix maybe
autumn juniper
yes, im trying to upload my app in windows store with shorebird to see whats happen

Please let us know
None of us are Windows users and we've been operating on the assumption that most people don't officially use the store
Which isn't really founded in any sort of data

its a good approach to be in store, im working with POS software and for end user is awesome to find our app in stores
but i will give the feedback asap
autumn juniper
thats awesome, feeling happy to be able to contribute a little

We have https://docs.shorebird.dev/guides/submitting/play-store/ for android and a similar entry for the app store
