MSIX packaging (build-msix.ps1)

build-msix.ps1 builds an MSIX package for GeoLibre Desktop from a finished Windows Tauri release build. It generates the AppxManifest.xml, copies the binary + Python sidecar + logo assets, and runs MakeAppx.exe. It requires Windows and the Windows SDK MSIX packaging tools.

There are two distinct targets, both produced by this one script:

  1. The self-signed / winget MSIX attached to each GitHub release (the release.yml "Build MSIX package" step runs the script with its defaults: Publisher = CN=GeoLibre, identity from the Tauri config).
  2. A Microsoft Store MSIX, built manually with your Partner Center identity (see below). The Store re-signs the package, so you do not sign it yourself.

Build (defaults, for winget / direct download)

npm run msix:build
# or: pwsh ./packaging/msix/build-msix.ps1

Build for the Microsoft Store

The Store validates the package identity against the values reserved for the app in Partner Center (Product management -> Product Identity). Pass them as parameters; the Store-required fields differ from the defaults:

pwsh ./packaging/msix/build-msix.ps1 `
  -Name "OpenGeospatialSolutions.GeoLibre" `        # Package/Identity/Name
  -Publisher "CN=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" `  # Package/Identity/Publisher (your seller GUID)
  -PublisherDisplayName "Open Geospatial Solutions" `     # your publisher display name
  -DisplayName "GeoLibre"                            # a name reserved in Partner Center
Parameter Default Why override for the Store
-Name Tauri identifier (org.geolibre.desktop) Must be the reserved Package/Identity/Name
-Publisher CN=GeoLibre Must be your seller CN=<GUID>
-PublisherDisplayName Open Geospatial Solutions Must match your publisher display name exactly; the Store does not remap it
-DisplayName Tauri productName (GeoLibre Desktop) Properties/DisplayName must be a reserved name
-Language en-us Every MSIX must declare a language

The package family name is derived automatically from -Name + -Publisher, so it will match once those are correct.

-DisplayName sets only the package display name (Properties/DisplayName, used for the Store listing). The Start-menu / taskbar name (Applications/.../VisualElements/@DisplayName) deliberately stays the Tauri product name ("GeoLibre Desktop"); the two are allowed to differ, and a Store submission with this split passed validation.

runFullTrust

The manifest declares the runFullTrust restricted capability, which a packaged Win32 (Tauri) desktop app requires. The Store flags it as a warning, not an error; it is reviewed and granted during certification. Do not remove it.
