build and release a windows desktop app |
one convenient approach to distributing windows apps |
is the microsoft store. |
this guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough |
of packaging and deploying a flutter app in this way. |
info note |
you are not required to publish windows apps through the |
microsoft store, particularly if you prefer more control |
over the distribution experience or don’t want to deal |
with the certification process. the microsoft documentation |
includes more information about traditional installation |
approaches, including windows installer. |

preliminaries |
before beginning the process of releasing |
a flutter windows desktop app to the microsoft store, |
first confirm that it satisfies microsoft store policies. |
also, you must join the |
microsoft partner network to be able to submit apps. |

set up your application in the partner center |
manage an application’s life cycle in the |
microsoft partner center. |
first, reserve the application name and |
ensure that the required rights to the name exist. |
once the name is reserved, the application |
will be provisioned for services (such as |
push notifications), and you can start adding add-ons. |
options such as pricing, availability, |
age ratings, and category have to be |
configured together with the first submission |
and are automatically retained |
for the subsequent submissions. |

packaging and deployment |
in order to publish an application to microsoft store, |
you must first package it. |
the valid formats are .msix, .msixbundle, |
.msixupload, .appx, .appxbundle, |
.appxupload, and .xap. |

manual packaging and deployment for the microsoft store |
check out MSIX packaging |
to learn about packaging |
flutter windows desktop applications. |
note that each product has a unique identity, |
which the store assigns. |
if the package is being built manually, |
you have to include its identity details |
manually during the packaging. |
the essential information can be retrieved |
from the partner center using the following instructions: |
after manually packaging the application, |
manually submit it to the |
microsoft partner center. |
you can do this by creating a new submission, |
navigating to packages, |
and uploading the created application package. |

continuous deployment |
in addition to manually creating and deploying the package, |
you can automate the build, package, versioning, |
and deployment process using CI/CD tooling after having submitted |
the application to the microsoft store for the first time. |

codemagic CI/CD |
codemagic CI/CD uses the |
msix pub package to package |
flutter windows desktop applications. |
for flutter applications, use either the |
codemagic workflow editor |
or codemagic.yaml |
to package the application and deploy it |
to the microsoft partner center. |
additional options (such as the list of |
capabilities and language resources |
contained in the package) |
can be configured using this package. |
for publishing, codemagic uses the |
partner center submission API; |
so, codemagic requires |
associating the azure active directory |
and partner center accounts. |

microsoft dev store CLI |
to package applications into an MSIX and publish them to the microsoft store. |
