🚀 Quick Start

🛠️ Development

Install the .NET 8 SDK and the Windows App SDK workload, then run:

dotnet restore WinLive.sln
dotnet test WinLive.sln
dotnet run --project .\src\WinLive\WinLive.csproj

The development command runs an unpackaged, self-contained executable directly and does not install anything. Run the following command only when you need to generate an MSIX package:

dotnet build .\src\WinLive\WinLive.csproj -p:Platform=x64 -p:GenerateAppxPackageOnBuild=true

The verified development workflow signs the generated package with a local self-signed certificate after the build. Before installing the package, install WinLive-Development.cer into Cert:\CurrentUser\TrustedPeople.
