CA Store Readiness

This check is based on:

• Unraid forum guidance in Plugin Templates for CA / Appstore
• The current Appdata Cleanup Plus repo state
• FolderView Plus as the working reference for repo-facing support/docs links

Current Status

Ready for CA submission from main.

Passing Items

• The repo has a single CA plugin XML file at the root: appdata.cleanup.plus.xml
• The plugin XML includes the expected CA-facing fields:
  • PluginURL
  • PluginAuthor
  • Category
  • Name
  • Description
  • MinVer
  • Support
  • Icon
  • Project
• The icon is hosted from this repo and points at the packaged plugin icon
• The CA support URL now points at the live Unraid forum thread
• The plugin manifest now includes a matching support="..." forum thread attribute
• scripts/release_guard.sh already enforces manifest/XML URL parity and branch-aware raw GitHub links
• The repo now has:
  • a docs banner at docs/images/banner.png

FolderView Plus Comparison

FolderView Plus already has the CA-facing support pattern that Appdata Cleanup Plus now matches:

• folderview.plus.xml uses a full forum topic in <Support>
• folderview.plus.plg includes a matching support="https://forums.unraid.net/topic/.../" attribute
• README.md includes a forum support thread in the Support section
• docs/images/banner.png is present for release-facing docs and forum use

Ready-To-Submit Sequence

1. Submit the main branch CA XML to Community Applications.
2. Keep the forum thread URL in sync across:
   • appdata.cleanup.plus.xml <Support>
   • plugins/appdata.cleanup.plus.plg support="..."
   • README.md Support section
3. Re-run the readiness and release guards after release metadata changes.

Expected Result

The repo metadata is in good shape for CA submission based on the current Unraid template guidance and the FolderView Plus reference layout.
