Description
Summary
Track automation needed for WinUI Gallery build, validation, and publishing readiness so updates do not depend on manual release steps.
Context
WinUI Gallery should have a reliable automation path for validating changes and preparing updates. The public tracker should describe the desired outcome at a high level: repeatable builds, clear validation signal, and documented publishing readiness.
Avoid naming private pipeline definitions, queue names, publishing credentials, store-management details, or internal release infrastructure in public issue text.
Work to do
- Identify the current manual steps for validating and preparing WinUI Gallery updates.
- Define the build and validation stages that should be automated.
- Track gaps in packaging, signing, publishing readiness, and release notes as follow-up tasks where needed.
- Document how maintainers should interpret automation results.
- Keep credentials, private service links, and internal release mechanics out of the public issue.
Definition of done
- Required WinUI Gallery automation stages are understood.
- Build and publishing-readiness gaps are represented by concrete follow-up issues.
- Maintainers have a clear public-safe view of the desired automation flow.
- Public issue text does not expose private release infrastructure or credentials.
