Summary

  • add a separate Microsoft Store MSIX packaging channel with the reserved Partner Center identity
  • disable GitHub self-updates in Store builds and show Store-managed update status
  • use the packaged Windows startup task while keeping HKCU startup for Installer and Portable builds
  • add an English privacy policy covering local capture, logs, permissions, GitHub update checks, and Store updates
  • link the privacy policy from the README and document future Store submissions

Why

Captail needs an upload-ready Microsoft Store package without changing the existing GitHub Installer and Portable distribution channels. The Store submission also requires a public privacy policy because Captail can process screen, system-audio, and microphone data locally.

Validation

  • dotnet build Captail.sln -c Release --no-restore
  • dotnet format Captail.sln --verify-no-changes --no-restore
  • Store build completed with tools/BuildStorePackage.ps1 -Version 0.1.5
  • MakeAppx pack and unpack validation passed
  • generated identity matched faulmit.Captail, reserved publisher, version 0.1.5.0, and x64
  • English and Russian localization dictionaries remained in parity

Notes

No MSIX or MSIXUPLOAD binaries are committed or attached to a GitHub Release. Microsoft Store remains responsible for signing and distributing the Store package.

P1 Badge Load System.Drawing from the packaging host

When this documented script is run in Windows PowerShell 5.1—the built-in shell on the supported Windows versions—Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing.Common cannot resolve the project's NuGet dependency, because it is neither a framework/GAC assembly nor loaded into the PowerShell process; the preceding single-file publish also bundles it rather than leaving a probeable DLL. The script therefore stops before generating any assets or MSIX. Load the framework System.Drawing assembly or explicitly load a known assembly path that works in the supported host.
