You're probably looking to create a .appx file! Here's how you create one of those.

For installing an .appx, you'll need either the device portal, or Visual Studio again. There's a short doc on that over here. The device portal does still have a bit of a setup, but it should be much easier than Visual Studio!

Hope that helps 🙂

koujaku Thanks a lot. I tried as you advised and succeeded in packaging & installing the app. The app was not able to open '.xml' files but I found that I didn't provide necessary attributes such as 'FileAccess.Read'. ( But weirdly the app was able to open them when deployed via VS2019. )

Thanks, again!
