perhaps manifest should be updated to https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/latest to always update to the latest?

I'm not in charge of the winget package, it's done by third-party devs.

I recently removed the reference to winget because apparently there were problems: #4956 (comment)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Did some digging, according to ms docs, I can create a package update submission as a "community member". I have made a new submission there. microsoft/winget-pkgs#192018

There also is a way to auto update your winget manifest via github workflows. The devs of powertoys and oh-my-posh has been utilizing this so that it updates manifest each time they push out a new release on their github repo"
Using wingetcreate:

PowerToys
Oh-My-Posh

Maybe it will take some time to set up but might be worth it for the windows winget users? Thanks again

Oh I see. Winget has issues with accessing dlls due to using symbolic links.

• Looks like there was development here on oct 7th
• Handle DLLs for Symlinked executables microsoft/winget-cli#2711 (comment)
• Sounds like new winget packages should work now! Yay. I have updated package request post to get at it
• With this fixed, I think it is not a bad idea to use wingetcreate to update winget manifest for scrcpy too.
