@MStrehovsky@BrandonLive If that developer buys a commercial certificate you have the exact same issue. I agree that this is not an improvement over unsigned apps. But other advantages of MSIX (identity, clean uninstall, delta updates, etc) remain.
@WithinRafael I am somewhat confused what is going on here, I think the Store app might be recognizing/updating the sideloaded Outlook MSIX package. This new updater is call XPD and it interacts with a component called Sentinel (which could be Microsoft Sentinel, or something else).
@WithinRafael any idea how the squirrel updater of the new Outlook managed to update to a Store bought MSIX packaged installation? I kind of thought that was impossible?
@WithinRafael@TheRealCre8trix Looks like it is working now with Win11 22621.755. I don't see any visible changes, that might explain why it is deemed safe now and no long an urgent security threat.
@ALumia_Italia Microsoft getting into the crapware market 😔, leave no ad placement opportunity unturned, huh? I wonder if it comes with a 30 day free trial of McAfee 🥺
@stroughtonsmith One of the intriguing parts of the path WinAppSDK chose is that it is all native code. For now with C#, C++ and semi-official Rust support. And other Frameworks start to build on top of that like React Native and MAUI.
