Rust Windows App Sample

This sample demonstrates how to check for package identity and send Windows notifications from a Rust application.

Dependencies

Before running the sample, ensure you have Rust and the winappcli tool installed.

If you haven't installed Rust yet, you can download it from rust-lang.org or use winget:

winget install Rustlang.Rustup --source winget

Install the winapp command line tool using winget:

winget install microsoft.winappcli --source winget

To run the application as a standard executable without package identity:

Build the project:
```
cargo build
```
Run the executable:
```
.\target\debug\rust-app.exe
```
Output should be: "Not packaged"

To run the application with a temporary debug identity:

Apply debug identity to the executable:

winapp create-debug-identity .\target\debug\rust-app.exe

Run the executable:
```
.\target\debug\rust-app.exe
```
Output should show the Package Family Name and trigger a notification.

To fully package the application as an MSIX and install it:

Generate a Certificate: Create a self-signed certificate for signing based on the manifest.
```
winapp cert generate --manifest .\appxmanifest.xml
```
Install the Certificate: Install the certificate locally (requires Admin privileges).
```
winapp cert install .\devcert.pfx
```
Build for Release:
```
cargo build --release
```
Prepare Packaging Directory:
```
mkdir msix
mv .\target\release\rust-app.exe .\msix\
```
(Note: Move the exe and any other needed dependencies to this msix folder)

Pack the Application:

winapp pack .\msix --manifest .\appxmanifest.xml --cert .\devcert.pfx

Install and Run:
- Double-click the generated .msix file to install.
- Once installed, you can run it from the Start menu or by typing winapp-rust-sample.exe in your terminal.
