How to publish a .msix app using the CLI?

[Jakub Meysner (jakubmeysner)]

How do you actually publish an .msix app to the MS Store using the CLI? Commands related to updating a submission or publishing a draft submission seem to be documented pretty well, commands related to actually creating a submission or adding packages to it - not so much. Running msstore init or msstore publish just returns a We could not find a project configurator for the project error. How do you set up a project configurator for the project? msstore reconfigure does not seem to allow you to do that.

It depends on the type of project you are trying to publish.
We don't support publishing a loose MSIX just yet. What type of project are you trying to publish?

Still, support for MSIX is coming.

I already have a process in place for building the MSIX, I'd like just to be able to publish it to the MS Store in CD.

Is it still not supported to publish msix with cli?

[Alexandre Zollinger Chohfi (azchohfi)]

It does support MSIX for a few months now:
msstore publish PATH_TO_MSIX_DIRECTORY

[Nick Rimmer (NickRimmer)]

Thank you, will investigate what this PATH_TO_MSIX_DIRECTORY should be ~_~
