Impact

REQUIRED: Choose either Tooling Impact or Customer Impact (or both). At least one checkbox must be selected.

Tooling Impact

Required tooling change
Optional tooling change (include reasoning)

Backports the store packaging pipeline refactor required to keep the release/v7.6.1 store publishing flow aligned with the current packaging process, including the dedicated store package template and updated publish inputs.

Customer Impact

Customer reported
Found internally

Regression

REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.

Yes
No

This is not a regression.

Testing

Verified by cherry-picking onto release/v7.6.1, resolving the single conflict in .pipelines/templates/package-create-msix.yml by accepting the incoming PR change that removes the obsolete inline Store packaging block, and confirming the worktree is clean after the cherry-pick. No local pipeline run was performed; CI on the backport PR will validate the workflow end to end.

Risk

REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.

High
Medium
Low

High risk because this changes release packaging and store publishing pipeline definitions used for official builds. The change is still appropriate for backport because it is scoped to packaging infrastructure and aligns the release branch with a change already merged on main.

Merge Conflicts

Conflict in .pipelines/templates/package-create-msix.yml. The release branch still had the legacy inline Store package creation steps, while the original PR moved that logic into a dedicated package-store-package template and stage. Resolved by accepting the incoming PR change and removing the obsolete inline block from package-create-msix.yml.

Pull request overview

Backport refactor of the Store packaging/publishing flow to release/v7.6.1 by separating StoreBroker package creation into its own stage/template and updating the Store publish pipeline to consume the new artifact and options.

Changes:

Added a dedicated store_package stage and introduced a new package-store-package.yml template to build the StoreBroker package from the signed MSIX bundle.
Updated release-MSIX-Publish.yml to download the new store-package artifact and publish with force/deletePackages/skipPolling.
Removed the legacy inline Store packaging block from package-create-msix.yml and cleaned up Store PDP metadata.

+- stage: store_package

The new store_package stage is unconditional, so it will also run in non-official pipelines that consume this stages template (where OfficialBuild is false). That will likely fail due to missing Store variable groups/service connections and is unnecessary for non-official runs. Gate this stage with parameters.OfficialBuild (compile-time if or a stage condition) similar to how signing is gated in package-create-msix.yml.

Suggested change

dependsOn: [msixbundle]

+        contents: '*.msixBundle'
+        outSBName: 'PowerShellStorePackage'


contents uses *.msixBundle, but the MSIX bundle creation step produces files with the .msixbundle extension. If the Store package task’s glob matching is case-sensitive, this will result in no inputs being picked up. Use the same extension casing as the produced artifacts (e.g., *.msixbundle).

+        Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=ServiceConnection]$($config.ServiceEndpoint)"


ServiceConnection is set as a pipeline variable but never used in this template. Either remove it to avoid confusion, or use it in the subsequent StoreBroker tasks to avoid duplicating the service endpoint strings.

Suggested change

Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=ServiceConnection]$($config.ServiceEndpoint)"
