Notes on the Desktop Bridge for Windows Store packaging ======================================================= * Main page https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bridges/desktop * Introductory tutorial https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-run-desktop-app-converter * Desktop App Converter is the helper application that does the conversion; Desktop Bridge is, apparently, the technology, which can be used without using the Desktop App Converter. Here's a page about doing the conversion manually: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-manual-conversion * Note about C++ runtime dependency https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/3176696/c-runtime-framework-packages-for-desktop-bridge but see also https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/3f1d9bdd-2fa0-463f-b4f9-02e9bf33ed1a/uwp-desktop-bridge-cant-install-app-even-after-signing-the-certificates-with-signtool?forum=wpdevelop "If you submit the app to the store, customers downloading it from the store will automatically also download the framework package. "If you want your customers to sideload the app, then yes, they'll first have to install the framework package." Preparation ----------- * Set up Desktop App Converter as described in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-run-desktop-app-converter * Install VC140 runtime dependency (for developer installation of package) from link at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/07/07/using-visual-c-runtime-in-centennial-project/ * Start PowerShell as administrator * cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Kits\10\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs.Desktop\14.0\Appx\Retail\x64 * Run Add-AppxPackage on the one package in that dir Invocation ---------- * Start PowerShell as administrator * Run e.g.: DesktopAppConverter.exe -Installer C:\Users\Chris\Documents\sonic-visualiser\deploy\win64\sonic-visualiser.msi -Destination . -PackageName "SonicVisualiser" -Publisher CN="sonicvisualiser.org" -Version 3.0.3.0 -MakeAppx -Sign -Verify -Verbose * Locate the self-signed certificate file "auto-generated.cer" in Explorer, double-click, Install Certificate, pick Local Machine and the Trusted People store * Double click on SonicVisualiser.appx to install Command based on actual Store data: DesktopAppConverter.exe -Installer C:\Users\Chris\Documents\sonic-visualiser\deploy\win64\sonic-visualiser-3.0.3-win64.msi -Destination . -PackageName "27750sonicvisualiser.org.SonicVisualiser" -AppId "SonicVisualiser" -AppDisplayName "Sonic Visualiser" -PackageDisplayName "Sonic Visualiser" -Publisher CN="55F5913E-18B3-470B-9056-D601FF241EB2" -PackagePublisherDisplayName "sonicvisualiser.org" -Version 3.0.3.0 -AppFileTypes "'.sv','.svl','.wav'" -MakeAppx -Sign -Verify -Verbose NB the last digit (revision) of the version number must be 0 for store submission. Can't submit Desktop Bridge apps through just any store account -- it has to be approved first via form at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/projects/campaigns/desktop-bridge -- still waiting for this.
