We are making an evaluation for some kinds of UI automation tools. We found that last formal release was in 2020, and there are more than 1000 opened issues now. We suspect that it is dead now. Could you share its timeline or roadmap.

Thanks

    Same Question: Is WinAPPDriver dead or still maintained?

    I guess it is abandoned. The latest provided release from 2021 still works, but only if .NET 5 is installed. But .NET 5 is is "End of Support" since May 2022.

    Is there the sourcecode available anywhere, to compile to .NET 6 or .NET 8?
    Seems the Repo https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver only hosts the releases and some tools.
