Now axmol support Windows UWP apps

[axmol-bot]

CMake generate commands

cmake -B build_uwp -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore "-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0"

Recommand Windows SDK

Windows 11 SDK 10.0.22621.0 (NI)

Some features not compatible with UWP are disabled

• VideoPlayer
• Webview based on MsEdge webview2 sdk
• ImGui

If you are run on win10 2004 or later device, you also can download winuwp-ci artifacts to quick run cpp_tests of amxol

Notes: The artifacts of winuwp-ci contains arch x64 and arm64, just download match with your local device arch.

UWP AppPackage format

appx: < windows 10 1709

win11 sdk 10.0.22621 is tested, the 10.0.19041 is min deploy target, not development sdk.

It seems that 10.0.20348 is the highest that can allow UWP apps to run on Windows 10, because anything higher only runs on Windows 11.

No, building UWP with win11 latest sdk 10.0.22621.0(NI) can run on win10, I already have tested

Thank you for the info. I'll try to figure out why it's not running in my Windows 10 environment.

@halx99 this is the error I'm getting:

Using the default cmake command:
cmake -S . -B build_uwp -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore "-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=10.0"

I see the problem now, but I'm not sure how to fix it (default cpp-template project, no additional code in CMakeLists.txt):

This is what's happening to all projects in the solution except for the app project:

The app project has this:

Any ideas what would be causing this?

If I manually set the "Target Platform Min. Version" to 10.0.19041.0 in the lua and luac projects, then the app runs correctly.

[halx99]

Target Platform Min.Version = 10.0.22621.0 not build in engine folder, right?

Excellent! Hopefully they do merge it in.

FYI, deleted my original post up the top since it was just cluttering this thread with no useful info.
