Winapp Cli

A command-line wrapper around Windows SDK tools that handles the tedious parts of building Windows apps from any framework. It generates AppxManifest.xml files, creates development certificates, packages apps into MSIX format, and crucially, adds temporary package identity to executables so you can debug Windows APIs like notifications and Windows AI without full packaging. Works with Electron, Rust, Tauri, .NET, whatever. The create-debug-identity command is the real time-saver here since many Windows APIs refuse to work without package identity. Solid for CI/CD pipelines and cross-platform teams who need Windows-native features but don't want to deal with Visual Studio project templates.
