How are nightly builds published?

[MartyIX]

I would like to test potential performance improvements thanks to e0b85ca but it looks like https://dev.azure.com/xamarin/public/_artifacts/feed/maui-nightly does not contain a nightly build containing the patch.

How are the nightly builds released? My expectation was that it's called nightly so that it's released every night (more or less) but that is certainly not true.

Thank you

Indeed every night, given that there have been changes merged that day. However, I think due to the rotation of some secrets etc. needed for publishing there was a disruption here. We're working on fixing this asap!

If you really want to test this now, or any other PR, for said PR go to the status checks, find the "MAUI-public" check and click Details and on that page click through to the Azure DevOps page. There you will see in the top bar "n artifacts produces, n consumed", click that and you will be able to download the produced artifacts that you can install locally.

For this PR the link is: https://dev.azure.com/xamarin/public/_build/results?buildId=111460&view=results

Thanks!

The link you posted is very useful! It would be great to add it to https://github.com/dotnet/maui/wiki/Nightly-Builds so that people can test individual PR's against their codebases. That's something that is not probably so obvious for non-team members.
