Support for apps on WinGet through the Microsoft Store

[Ctrl-Alb]

Does WinUtil support installing applications that are available on WinGet only through the Microsoft Store?
For example, Apple Music can be installed via WinGet with the command: winget install -e --id 9PFHDD62MXS1.
Before suggesting adding Apple Music to WinUtil (especially since iTunes is being slowly replaced) I’d like to confirm whether WinUtil can handle this type of WinGet installation.

we use the --source winget when installing apps so it would be impossible

Hi @GabiNun2,
Thank you for the clarification.
Do you think it could be supported in the future? There are some good apps that are on WinGet through the Microsoft Store

Ok, so at the moment I won't open an issue.
Last question: do you think iTunes should be removed from WinUtil?
It's a soon-to-be-replaced software and a lot of people don't know it

iTunes was Apple’s all-in-one media application, handling music, movies, podcasts, and device synchronization.
On macOS, it has been replaced by separate apps such as Apple Music and Apple TV, and no longer exists as a standalone program.
On Windows, however, the transition is still in progress as Apple continues to split its functionality into newer apps.
I was wondering whether it makes sense to remove iTunes from the WinUtil apps list, given that it’s likely to be discontinued soon.
In any case, I might open an issue or submit a PR to discuss it further
