Question: is there plan to have a GitHub Actions that will do a package update? about storebroker

@ArchieCoder -- a quick search came up with this link which seems to show it being quite simple to author a GitHub Action using PowerShell: https://dfinke.github.io/powershell/2018/12/20/PowerShell-and-GitHub-Actions.html

If you just modify that entrypoint.ps1 to instead have the code I referenced above, following their directions for securely configuring your AccessToken and adding in the necessary code to reference your binary package, I think it would be fairly straightforward to make it work.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think that there's any current planned work around publishing our own action that will do that, however it should be possible to author a custom action yourself that does that.

When working with v1, the complete set of commands necessary to perform a package update should be limited to:

$secureString = ("<Your Access Token>" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)  # Store <YourAccessToken> via an Action variable
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential "username is ignored", $secureString
Set-StoreBrokerAuthentication -Credential $cred

New-SubmissionPackage ...
Update-ApplicationSubmission ...

Really the only work involved is configuring the action to have your AccessToken and then properly pointing it to where your package is.

Yeah, doing the actual action is not an easy task. I'm in the C#/XAML world for so many years. Custom Actions are done in javascript I think.

Thanks for answering anyway!
