Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
The manifest currently allows for a MinimumOSVersion to distinguish apps which cannot be installed on older versions of the OS. However, there are also some packages (see microsoft/winget-pkgs#62490) which cannot be installed on newer versions of the OS such as Windows 11. This compatibility issue should be able to be placed in the manifest
Proposed technical implementation details
- Implement a field in the manifest for fully defining OS version support
- Do something with that information
- Hide the packages which are unsupported?
- Mark the versions with a special character as suggested in Window Terminal version "1.12.10983.0" will appear in winget upgrade but can`t be installed (Win10) #2134 ?
- Display a warning that installing this package on a newer OS may not work, or the program may need to be run in compatibility mode?
- Anything to keep users informed
