Hi, does Visual Studio Code provide an easy way to package a Roku app in the "app.pkg" format for submission? Currently, I'm using PuTTY to sideload the app, then converting it to SquashFS and performing other steps to create the package. Does anyone know if there's a simpler method?

Yes there is. 🙂 There's a "create package" flow that was introduced about a year ago. Here's the pull request that introduced it.

And here's a demo from the 2024 dev summit showing how to use it.
