To help SheepIt continue growing, we need some help.
We want to add the SheepIt client to the Microsoft Store, but we have a technical issue. Our client is written in Java, but Microsoft doesn't like it.
They want a Universal Windows Application. So for us, it means a fat binary to wrap around the Java code.
But we can't make it to work.
The goal is to stop using the current auto-extract exe and create a true fat binary where the java code and JVM are included. But from the OS and user points of view, it must be a single exe.
If you want to help and have some knowledge about Microsoft please join the Discord Server.
