Native messaging and MSIX packaging: No docs on how an extension might be packaged with MSIX
The docs at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/native-messaging?tabs=v3%2Cwindows describe how a json manifest and a native application can be made known to Microsoft Edge.
What isn't documented is how a native application can make Edge aware of itself when the native application is packaged as an MSIX file.
Questions the docs need to answer:
- What must be done within the MSIX packaging to place the JSON and native application somewhere where Edge can see both files?
- What must be done within the MSIX packaging to place the registry entry where Edge can see it?
@minfrin thanks for the feedback. Would love to understand your scenario in a little more detail. Can you please explain the problem that you are trying to solve with the MSIX package and its need to talk to Edge?
