Hi, I am sure Buzee could be of great help to you! It certainly helps me out with my work which is quite similar to your scenario. For Windows, you should try this link [1]. Unfortunately, it'll only work if you install it under admin privileges since I couldn't afford to buy a $500 code signing certificate. Otherwise, you could build the app on your machine from the source code! I'd be happy to help you with that. Let me know how it works out.

Ugh, I tried looking into the state of codesigning foss apps for windows, and it's not great it seems. https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo/issues/1#issuecomment-2111539212 https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo/issues/1#issuecomment-2111... suggests either: https://github.com/Azure/trusted-signing-action https://github.com/Azure/trusted-signing-action Which is 10 USD/month - or publishing in the windows store: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/publish/?tabs=individual%2Cmsi-exe-getting-started https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/publish/?tabs... https://github.com/marketplace/actions/microsoft-store-publish https://github.com/marketplace/actions/microsoft-store-publi...

  Yeah, it’s weird on Windows. I paid Apple $99/year for code signing on Mac but at least it worked seamlessly. On Windows it seemed like the code signing process varies depending on where you buy the certificate from!

  Azure looks good, but won’t approve you unless your company is 3 years old. They include this little important detail way to late in their docs (after you pay)

I got a digicert 1y with cloud signing on azure for less than $150. There are lots of resellers, and the one I found supports individuals. Now, MS should support trusted code signing ($10/mo) for individuals. But yes, it absolutely sucks and it’s very easy to lose hope when developing for desktop. Every platform sucks in unique ways. Hit me up if you wanna chat. /A fellow tauri app developer
