Description
Publishing to the MS-Store can make it easier for users to get Sunshine and automatic updates.
Estimated Effort
effort:Medium
Priority
priority:Medium
Target Milestone
1-3 months
Dependencies
Depends upon:
- Sunshine: reduce/eliminate anti virus flags #89 (current stable release passes ms-store validation even though there are still a few flags in virus total)
- code signing - Sunshine: code sign exe #110
- we could avoid code signing by using an MSIX installer format, there seems to be a wix extension that makes that easy (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/desktop/desktop-to-uwp-third-party-installer#firegiant), in which case this would depend on Sunshine: change windows installer to WiX #76

Code signing complete, and virus detections are cleaned up... so we should be in the clear to publish Sunshine on the next stable release.

After publishing the first version, we could automate updates using https://github.com/marketplace/actions/microsoft-store-publish

Seems Ms-slop doesn't like Sunshine very much.

Asked for exception on the driver stuff... they disagree, so I'm going to close this as not planned because I feel that removing the driver and integration for it will make Sunshine much harder to use.
And probably going to move over to Linux myself and stop focusing on Windows as much, due to this and many other very poor decisions by Microsoft in the last couple of years across all of their products.
