Web-to-app links handling

[vshmelev]

I would like to use Web-to-app links handling for by win32 app. But I have an error during MSIX package building:

Checking builds status
Build required.

[ Build_MSIX_APPX ]

Error details

Build finished because an error was encountered.

The changes that seems cause this error are adding appUriHandler extension with "*" in the begining

Code: Select all

        <uap3:Extension Category="windows.appUriHandler">
          <uap3:AppUriHandler>
            <uap5:Host Name="testConsoleApp.com" />
            <uap5:Host Name="*.testConsoleApp.com" />
          </uap3:AppUriHandler>
        </uap3:Extension>

How can I set right namespace for those elements via Manifest Editor?

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply.

This is currently under our investigations.

Please give me some more time to consult with your development team and I will come back to you as soon as I will have a conclusive answer.

Hello,

I have discussed this with our development team and it looks like we do not have this declaration (uap5) in Advanced Installer.

I have added this improvement on our TODO list and this will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Until then, it would greatly help us if you could share a copy of your .AIP file with us, by e-mail at support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can further investigate its' settings.

Best regards,
Catalin
