We have received feedback from a user encountering the Windows Defender SmartScreen warning when trying to install the app. This warning appears because the executable (EXE) file is not signed with a trusted certificate. As our project is open-source and we haven't opened a donation channel yet, addressing this will require a budget for purchasing a code-signing certificate, which ranges from $200 to $500.
Steps to Reproduce:
Download the Azkar_windows-x64.exe file.
Attempt to install the program on a Windows 10 or Windows 11 machine.
Observe the Windows Defender SmartScreen warning.
Temporary Solution for Users:
When the "Windows protected your PC" window appears, click on "More info".
Click on "Run anyway" to proceed with the installation.
Action Items:
Inform users about the temporary workaround.
Consider opening a donation channel to fund the purchase of a code-signing certificate.
Research and select a suitable certificate authority for purchasing the code-signing certificate.
Purchase and implement the code-signing certificate to avoid future warnings.
