Include version in filename generated by MakeAppx.exe when using packaging layout
Just to elaborate a bit more on this:
I want to host an appinstaller file on the internet, say at https://www.mycompany.com/Foo.appinstaller. My impression is that this is the one file that I would overwrite whenever I publish a new version of the app, but that ideally all other files would get distinct filenames when I publish a new version of my app.
Right now, MakeAppx.exe creates the following files for me: Foo.appxbundle, Foo-x64.appx and the corresponding other platforms. I then host all these files also at https://www.mycompany.com. But ideally, it seems to me, that these files would be named Foo_1.0.0.0.appxbundle, Foo-x64_1.0.0.0.appx etc, so that I don't need to overwrite the previous versions of these files when I publish a new release.
