    steps:

      ## Get latest code
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      ## Install .NET v6
      - name: Setup .NET 6
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v2
        with:
          dotnet-version: 6.0.x
          include-prerelease: true

      ## Install MSBuild vLatest
      - name: Setup MSBuild
        uses: microsoft/setup-msbuild@v1.1
        with:
          vs-prerelease: true

      ## Install .NET Maui build tools
      - name: Install MAUI Workloads
        run: |
          dotnet workload install maui --ignore-failed-sources

      ## Restore .NET packages
      - name: Restore Dependencies
        run: dotnet restore InvoiceGenerator-dotnet-maui-UI/InvoiceGenerator-dotnet-maui-UI.csproj

      ## Build as an MSIX
      - name: Build MAUI app for Windows
        ## Note: it is curently easier to build WIHTOUT SIGNING the app.
        ## Signing the app requires a certificate, Gerald provides steps
        ## for generating a certificate in this video: https://youtu.be/8lvdLa0v8zY?t=446
        run: dotnet publish InvoiceGenerator-dotnet-maui-UI/InvoiceGenerator-dotnet-maui-UI.csproj -c Release -f:net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0
        ## Once a certificate is generated, the following command will create a signed MSIX
        ## run: dotnet publish InvoiceGenerator-dotnet-maui-UI/InvoiceGenerator-dotnet-maui-UI.csproj -c Release -f:net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0 /p:GenerateAppxPackageOnBuild=true /p:AppxPackageSigningEnabled=true /p:PackageCertificateThumbprint="${{ secrets.WINDOWS_PFX_THUMBPRINT }}"

      ## Allow the MXIS to be downloaded later
      - name: Upload Windows Artifact
