> Lack of support for .appx and .msix bundles on Windows

https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/4818

Whoa, I had no idea about that. Tauri is way less fully baked than I realized.

The bug goes on to explain that Tauri apps can't have Windows "package identity", which means that there's a bunch of Windows APIs you simply can't use in Tauri, including the notifications API.

Without package identity, IMO, Tauri isn't ready for primetime on Windows.

Huh, I thought I'd seen notifications and app URI handlers in a Tauri app. Maybe they were using a custom Wix builder and not the Tauri template though.
