The Store's unpackaged EXE path would require Authenticode-signing the
installer and every PE file inside it. MSIX submissions are re-signed by the
Store instead, so this route needs no code-signing certificate. build-msix.ps1
mirrors build-installer.ps1 and consumes the same per-architecture build
artifacts, leaving the installer, portable archives and WinSparkle appcast
untouched.
One template generates the manifest for both architectures, carrying the
identity reserved in Partner Center. check_windows_msix.py recomputes the
package family name from the publisher DN, so a mistyped identity fails CI
rather than a submission, and it parses the script rather than running it
because root CI is Linux. Qualified logo assets are indexed into
resources.pri; without the altform-unplated variants the shell draws the
taskbar icon on an accent-coloured plate.
PlatformDetector.isPackagedInstall gates the in-app updater and the Liberapay
tile, which the read-only package directory and Store commerce policy
respectively rule out. Gating at runtime keeps one Windows build feeding both
the installer and the Store package.
41ffaa7f2 gated picture-in-picture on FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE and added a
settings case for it, but the assertion that case leads with — a stored
auto-PiP true surviving a read — needs supportsPictureInPicture() to be
true, and that gate ends in Platform.isAndroid || isIOS || isMacOS. The
term is false and unmockable on the Linux and Windows runners, so the
case passed on a macOS host and could never pass in CI: sanity checks
have been red for six commits on this one failure out of 4723. f13f5af6e
recorded it as a pre-existing Windows-host failure, but it entered in
this window and is red on Linux too.
Extract the gate's decision into a pure pictureInPictureAllowed that
takes the host's own capability as a parameter, the way
driver_distraction.dart already splits automotivePlaybackAllowed from its
ambient wrapper. The boolean algebra is unchanged, so the three callers
keep their behaviour; what changes is that the automotive and TV vetoes
become observable where every Platform branch is false, instead of being
vacuous on the host that gates the release.
The settings case keeps the pref-level contract on both host classes: a
stored true survives where the host supports PiP, and the gate pins it
off where it does not.
Verified with the host term forced false to emulate a Linux runner: both
files stay green, as does the full suite on macOS.
Plezy declares appCategory="video", so on Android Automotive OS it is a
parked app bound by car app quality DD-2/DD-3: audio must stop when the
vehicle starts driving and must not be resumable while driving. Two paths
kept audio alive. Music playback ran under a mediaPlayback foreground
service whose lifecycle observer was registered for Apple TV only, so it
never paused when Android backgrounded the app. Video pausing hung off
AppLifecycleState.hidden, which Flutter only synthesizes once Android
delivers onStop; a car without the Automotive compatibility mode delivers
onPause alone, which maps to AppLifecycleState.inactive and the player
ignored.
Gate every path that can start audio on a new lifecycle predicate,
automotivePlaybackAllowed, which permits playback on a car only while the
app is resumed and fails closed on an unknown lifecycle state. That covers
explicit play, gapless arming and track transitions, live retry and
channel switch, frame-rate-match resume, VOD/live startup, and the queue
navigation commands of the OS media session, plus a last-resort pause for
when the platform player resumes itself on native audio-focus regain.
Playback authority on the media-session router is deliberately left alone:
the router consumes a denied event, so gating it would swallow PauseEvent
and leave the OS unable to stop audio. Reacting to lifecycle callbacks is
the mechanism the platform documents as sufficient, so no android.car
dependency is added.
The music queue no longer requests POST_NOTIFICATIONS on a car, where the
foreground service and its notification never start: there is nothing to
authorize, and the prompt would take focus and make the gate discard the
first play intent.
Detect the form factor too: FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE now vetoes the Android TV
verdict, so a rotary-only head unit no longer inherits the leanback
experience. Picture-in-picture is gated on FEATURE_PICTURE_IN_PICTURE,
which cars lack, so the app's UI cannot stay on screen while driving, and
nothing forces a preferred orientation on a fixed-orientation display.
Introduces shared seams for paginated views, D-pad reorder, media control
routing, async singletons and the device method channel, then points the
open-coded copies at them.
Also removes unused models and duplicated provider/server plumbing, folds
the twice-implemented artifact store in the server, and factors the
repeated Flutter toolchain prologue in CI into a composite action.
Drops dead code across services, models, utils and widgets, including the
connection auth service, which had no implementer, and the Live TV DVR
provisioning models, which had no caller.
Tests that only covered deleted behaviour are removed or trimmed. No
behaviour change.
Initialize TvDetectionService on every platform so the existing
force_tv_mode setting drives the 10-foot TV interface on Windows,
macOS, and Linux, and surface the toggle in appearance settings there.
Desktop keeps real-mouse behavior in TV mode: InputModeTracker still
flips between pointer and keyboard modes (cursor hidden while
keyboard-driven), segmented controls keep their hover affordance, and
the settings backup section stays available (only Android TV lacks a
document picker).
Adds PlatformDetector.debugSetIsDesktopOSOverride so TV-device
simulations in widget tests don't inherit the desktop test host's
platform.
close#1409
Re-enables Audio Passthrough on Apple TV against the MPVKit EAC3-JOC
AVPlayer sink (pin bump to v1.0.8 follows), adds an AVPlayer test
harness + diagnostics screen for #1300, and makes loudnorm yield while
passthrough is active (fixes a latent spdif conflict on desktop too).
