I am following this article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/install-universal-windows-apps-with-the-winappdeploycmd-tool to sideload an app on a phone.
I am having trouble understanding what is meant by .appx file.
WinAppDeployCmd install -file "Downloads\MyApp.appx" -ip 192.168.0.1 -pin A1B2C3
I creqate dhte app package but searching the app folder for .appx files does not yield "myapp".appx.
Thank you.
The .appx file is associated with AppX application distribution file format introduced in Microsoft Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.1 operating systems. It's now used for Windows Ten systems. Similar to a .xap file. To find the .appx file in your Visual Studio Project, go to Documents/Visual Studio/Projects. Open your project folder, then you can find your .appx file.
For Windows 8.1 Store Apps, see Windows 8.1 Store apps: Install and test an app on other devices. For Windows 10 Store Apps, see Windows 10 Application Deployment Tool.
