At this point im seriously considering just going back to winforms
Nevermind I got it
I still need to get a damn cert
you could build your app unpackaged and save yourself from ms bullshitery
and only when you really want to publish it on ms store, if at all, go through the hassle
this crap was also a reason for me to stay away from winui3.. go with wpf/avalonia and you gonna be happy
Its incredible.. If they want people to switch to winUI3 why the hell are they making us go through such hoops
unpackaged it is
If I dont like it I think im just going to wpf
Who the hell knows what Microsoft wants people to switch to lmao
They release a new UI framework every year and dogfood precisely zero of them
"Hey here take a new UI framwork, also we renamed various functions and keep them working the same.. Oh why? Idk just because"
"Use WinUI says Microsoft" headline says, from Microsoft News application made in React Native
of course they are pushing winui because they want to boost noexistant mstore popularity
dont get me wrong, theoretically apps from mstore provide more security, and have some more benefits but damn they shouldt tie the uiframwork to it >.<
OS companies have the incredible abiliity to forget that signing is a giant pain in the ass for small app devs.
