I'm not sure how publishing on Winget works, but I'm going to guess that they won't accept executables without proper signing (#1134)

@Dor-bl @laolubenson Do you have good resources to learn to publish inspector for Win env via Winget repo?

[Dor-bl]

Sorry, but I haven't worked with winget so far.

I assume a good starting point would be :

Referencing PR: microsoft/winget-pkgs#133597
Since Winget is a comunity based input i took the liberty to start the procedure;
Steps taken:

• cmd -> winget install wingetcreate
• cmd -> wingetcreate token
• cmd -> wingetcreate new
  • Fill informations

thanks @PedromfRibeiro , looks nice! something seems off with the version reported there in the PR though?

[PedromfRibeiro]

You're welcome @jlipps!
True, the version is indeed partially wrong, the PR is waiting for a community moderator to approve it, so i'll try to change it

Change the PackageVersion with the value "2023.12.2.20231220.2" to "2023.12.2", can you confirm?

[PedromfRibeiro]

Well, the PR was aproved right now.
I can wait for the next version to update the manifest or make a new PR tomorrow

[jlipps]

yes, 2023.12.2 is correct. actual release versions are found here: https://github.com/appium/appium-inspector/releases
