more information about this project

Hi, Can you provide more information about this project?
Is this project incomplete?
The project does not compile properly and after a lot of effort I was able to compile it.
The C# project does nothing but save the json file, I expected the item to be added to the context menu.
also After running the packaged project, nothing happened and no items were added to the menu.😕
Exactly what should we do?!

This project is mainly used to learn the new menu APi. It is still in a very early stage, but I have used it for a few months and it is running well.

I have uploaded the compilation,please see build.md

thank you
I get the following errors when compiling

After commenting that piece of code, it is successfully compiled. However, UWP and WAP Project is not compiled either

I tried to create a new certificate This solved the problem for the UWP project, but not the WAP. I had to create a new WAP project myself and copy its appxmanifest.
After all this, I do not see any items in File Explorer ContextMenu

Do I have to publish and deploy the project to see the context menu? or I can see the changes in debug mode?

[ikas-mc]

[ikas-mc]

I did what you said, but now I get the following error

Things are getting worse....I updated some code...

1. Check the start menu, and then uninstall all the applications of this project.(may be 2 apps)
2. Re-clone the code
3. modify the certificates of the uwp and package project, right-click package.appxmanifest and select the certificate
4. follow build.md

I uploaded a compiled package, I tested it on my other computer, and it was running well

Thank you @ikas-mc
I get file is being used by another process error again. I do not know why I opened and closed Visual Studio but it did not change The problem seems to be from Visual Studio.
Anyway, thanks for everything, especially the compiled version
