Description

1.A plug-in panel (store) is directly provided in the main program, and the plug-in is directly put on the shelves by the ql-win developer. Users can also freely download/install plug-ins from third parties.

  • Advantages:
  1. As part of the main program, it is directly audited by Microsoft Store;

  2. at the same time, it is open.

2.The method officially recommended by the application store: on the shelves as an add-on.

  • Advantages:
  1. officially recommended.
  • Disadvantages:
  1. It must be submitted using the same account as the main application, which means that the main maintainer needs to maintain a plug-in update system, which has a lot of work;
  2. plug-in developers need to go through the double review of ql-win and Microsoft Store, especially the store review requires wisdom and courage, which makes ql-win and plug-in developers very labored.

Research direction

The issue proposes two Microsoft Store plug-in distribution models but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying which model and acceptance criteria the maintainers want; done would be an agreed implementation scope for plug-in installation and updates.
