**Update:**  
With help from @cristianadam and some others (Qt Discord + Qt bug support team), I can now get an app deployed via the Microsoft Store (as a beta, aka package flight) which is a significant forward step.

However there is a blocking issue that prevents it being published. [I’ve created a new forum thread specifically for that.](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/cmake-bug-building-for-microsoft-store-app-does-not-start-up-properly/9503) Your ideas would be very much welcomed.
