Publish to Windows Store from CLI

Type: Bug

Unable to publish a Windows App to folder in order to upload to the Partner Center from CLI. Didn't find the docs for the same. Thus reported a issue over there too.

Can you provide more information on what exactly you were trying to do? Command lines used and similar.

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to create a .msix package to upload to the Windows store as described here. The issue is that the docs only describe how to do that with Visual Studio. I want to achieve the same result with VSCode and CLI. I tried the following Commands but didn't get the .msix.

dotnet publish -f net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0 -c Release -p:RuntimeIdentifierOverride=win10-x64 -p:WindowsPackageType=None -p:WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=true

dotnet publish -f net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0 -c Release -p:RuntimeIdentifierOverride=win10-x64 --self-contained
