How do I make a crx / xpi file with wxt?

[ferenc-a]

I used npx wxt@latest init, and checked the docs, but couldn't find information about producing the final extension artifacts. wxt zip is not enough, but wxt submit is too much for my needs.

Only the stores can create valid XPI/CRX files, since they are signed zip files, and the browsers no longer support self-signed extensions.

So once you publish a version, you can download the files from the developer dashboards or using the API.

That means you have to publish manually or use wxt submit before you can download the signed artifacts.
