This is a tracking issue for various ways to release Acter in the wild and making sure people stay up to date with the latest development. We are using two different github workflows to directly ship the app: Nightly and Publish -- the former being run every day (if there have been changes merged), the latter every week. Neither is complete and this tracking issue keeps a list of the things we want to improve upon them.

Infrastructure:

• Automatic upgrades depending on the channel in use
  (maybe use upgrade or upgrader package)
  Include Changelogs in released App

Nightly:

• iOS and MacOS build are broken since 2023-09-28
• Windows nightly builds should use msix

Publish:

• Windows:
  • automatic shipping to MS Store doesn't work yet
  • Provide an .exe to download (another download possibility besides the windows store) #1465
  • build at Github Release is unsigned
• MacOS:
  • upload to AppStore is rejected because of weird signature issue #1212
• Linux:
  • Publish to SnapCraft
  • Publish as rpm
  • FlatPak doesn't seem to show up in package manager
  • FlatPak doesn't seem to auto-upgrade nicely
• Android:
  • submit target specific Apk to Github Release
  • publish to fdroid , see Release on F-Droid #1464
• iOS:
  • automatic release creation and submission for review?!?
• General:
  • publish isn't happening if any of the matrix-jobs is cancelled ...
  • Publish Tags and Github Release
