What problem does it solve?

Packaging Windows applications into distributable MSIX installers is complex, requiring manifest handling, certificate management, and accurate packaging layouts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Locate Package.appxmanifest from the input build folder or current directory.
  • Assemble staging layout, copy assets, generate resources pri, and package with makeappx.
  • Sign the package with a certificate (optional) and optionally bundle the Windows App SDK for self-contained deployment.

Package a built app directory by running winapp package <build-output> to create an MSIX package.
