Develop

Regenerate XML file for DBus ( If MainWindow class public methods were modified )

cd src/gui    
qdbusxml2cpp -c MainWindowAdaptor -a MainWindowAdaptor.h:MainWindowAdaptor.cpp org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.MainWindow.xml

It can be useful to know how to generate the XML adapter

Generate template from sources

qdbuscpp2xml -M -s MainWindow.h -o org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.MainWindow.xml

Make sure interface name is org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.MainWindow

<interface name="org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.MainWindow">
