Builds a Windows App Installer (.msix) for your Windows Flutter app

Flutter-MSIX

Builds a Windows App Installer (.msix) for your Windows Flutter app, using https://pub.dev/packages/msix.

To use this action, add your Windows Certificate file, in base64 format, to a repository secret and pass that to this workflow. This action then:

• Clones your repository and installs Flutter
• Decodes your base64 certificate into a binary .pfx file
• Runs flutter pub run msix:create to build and sign your Flutter app
• Creates a new release and uploads the generated .msix file to it

Make sure your action runs on windows-latest in order to compile to Windows.

• Full instructions on building your own .msix files can be found on Flutter's website
• This package uses package:msix to do the heavy-lifting -- make sure to follow the setup there first!
• This package assumes you want to sign your package with a certificate, which is highly recommended. To create a certificate, follow these instructions to generate your own self-signed certificate with OpenSSL, being sure to end up with a .pfx file
• DO NOT push your certificate file to your repository, as that defeats the purpose of the certificate! Instead,
  • add it to your .gitignore
  • convert your .pfx file to a base64-encoded format using openssl base64 -in your_certificate.pfx -out base64.txt
  • Add the entire contents of the base64.txt file to a repository secret
  • Use that secret as the value for this workflow's base64-certificate parameter
