Hi,
I am using your library like this:

import "github.com/go-toast/toast" // also tried "gopkg.in/toast.v1"

// ...

notification := toast.Notification{
	AppID:   "...",
	Title:   "...",
	Message: "...",
	Audio:   toast.Default,
}
err := notification.Push()
checkErr(err)

The notification is not shown, no sound is played and no error is returned from notification.Push().
System Info: Windows 10 (Version 1709, Build 16288.1)

I've had a glance at your code real quick, but could not see the bug myself.

Thanks @jessestricker, I will investigate as soon as I can.

Maybe this has to do with me working on an Windows Insider preview version.
A friend runs the stable release version and the notification shows up on his system.

Thanks for the additional information. I haven't had any chance to take a look yet. But I will keep you posted as soon as I do. I'm primarily a macOS user, so having to boot into Windows and close my 1.5 billion open Chrome tabs is hard for me 😋. Though it sounds like I'll have to setup a VM to test the insider preview version in isolation.

@jessestricker @jmshal this is broken on the fall creators update due to windows requiring a real AppID now.

Example, if you set the AppID of your toast to something like this

AppID: "{1AC14E77-02E7-4E5D-B744-2EB1AE5198B7}\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe",

It will work.

I am using Windows 10 Version 1903 Build 18362.145 and found that I can send toast notifications using a custom AppID.

Just make sure it doesn't contain illegal characters, especially '. Space is legal.

If you still have issues about not showing notifications, you can open %temp% and look for *.ps1 file, run it in you PowerShell console and you can see error message.

Hi zwlxt how can you generate custom app id?

I am closing this as it's really out of date and the repo seems unmaintained.
