Support hardware requirements. #199504
Description
Custom Hardware Dependencies
Note
The WinGet Community repository imposes requirements in the form of policies for automated validation. In the event we're unable to install the software, we're not able to validate the installers meet our requirements. Those requirements include the ability to have an unattended installation and that there are no other detections preventing us from approving the package for the community repository.
Some packages require custom hardware.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Extend schema and perform validations for hardware requirements.
Important
WinGet is capable of installing packages with hardware requirements from either a local manifest or a private repository given the required hardware is present. If there are additional requirements identified by ISVs with specific needs in WinGet, we will consider those requests.
