I would like to change 1 value of the automatic update setting
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/update-settings
The OnLaunch
HoursBetweenUpdateChecks
Property from the default value 24
to 0
.
(Yes, I actually want the app to check for updates OnLaunch, on every launch, without a delay of 24 hours)
BUT as it would seem, I would need to create the whole appinstaller file, with all bundles/dependencies and so on, see example here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/how-to-create-appinstaller-file#example-of-an-app-installer-file
This seems like total overkill to change just one field.
So, before going down this rabbit hole, I wanted to ask is there another way?
And I struggle to understand…
- Why doesn’t Visual Studio/MAUI workload generate an appinstaller file to be edited like it creates a *.pubxml file?
- Why can’t I define “simple” properties in the *.pubxml file?
- Why are there even two different files in the first place a *.pubxml and *.appinstaller?
