How to use Appcircle Enterprise App Store Extension

- task: AppcircleEnterpriseStore@0
  inputs:
    personalAPIToken: $(AC_PERSONAL_API_TOKEN)
    authEndpoint: $(AC_AUTH_ENDPOINT)
    apiEndpoint: $(AC_API_ENDPOINT)
    subOrganizationName: $(AC_SUB_ORGANIZATION_NAME)
    appPath: $(AC_APP_PATH)
    summary: $(AC_SUMMARY)
    releaseNotes: $(AC_RELEASE_NOTES)
    publishType: $(AC_PUBLISH_TYPE)

personalAPIToken: The Appcircle Personal API token used to authenticate and authorize access to Appcircle services within this extension.
authEndpoint (optional): Authentication endpoint URL for self-hosted Appcircle installations. Defaults to https://auth.appcircle.io.
apiEndpoint (optional): API endpoint URL for self-hosted Appcircle installations. Defaults to https://api.appcircle.io.
subOrganizationName (optional): Sub-organization name for the enterprise store. Leave empty to use the root organization. Use this when your Personal API Token belongs to the root organization but the target enterprise store lives in a sub-organization.

Self-signed or private CA certificates: If your self-hosted Appcircle server uses a self-signed certificate (or one issued by a private/internal CA), requests will fail certificate validation. The task does not disable TLS verification. Trust the server's CA on the build agent: set the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable to a PEM file containing the CA certificate, or add the CA to the system certificate store.

appPath: Indicates the file path to the application that will be uploaded to Appcircle Enterprise App Store.
releaseNote: Contains the details of changes, updates, and improvements made in the current version of the app being published.
