How to develop the app? What is required to build and run the app locally?

[Johanneslueke]

Hello Everybody,

i wanted to build the app locally but i cannot build the app at all. stuff is missing.

after cloning and invoking the build it fails because of the signing certificate is missing. If i disable signing then the "Scretes.resw" file is missing.

what do i have to do to get it running vom visual studio?

Hi there, Secrets.resw defines some data needed for diagnostics and analytics, which isn't relevant in a self-deploy scenario. Please add a "Resources File (.resw)" in the Resources folder and add an empty string key called SecretAppCenter to the file. The project should then build correctly.

I'll look into simplifying the self-deployment scenario in the future.

Please note that the project is currently undergoing a big revamp, so pull requests probably won't be approved until the code base has stabilized and the corresponding update is available.

Thanks for the heads up regarding the revamp. would have just played around with an idea anyway for now.
