Is It Possible To Use Publish Single File In .Net Core 3 With AppInstaller/MSIX?
Hi,
Where I work we have a WPF application that we converted to .NET Core 3.0 and migrated to MSIX/AppInstaller from ClickOnce. I noticed that .NET Core 3.0 has the ability to publish as a single file. However if I add this setting to my .csproj for my WPF application and/or make modifications to the .wapproj:
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\..\Application\MyWpfDotNetCore3App.csproj">
<DesktopBridgeSelfContained>True</DesktopBridgeSelfContained>
<DesktopBridgeIdentifier>win-x64</DesktopBridgeIdentifier>
<Properties>SelfContained=%(DesktopBridgeSelfContained);RuntimeIdentifier=%(DesktopBridgeIdentifier);PublishReadyToRun=true</Properties>
<SkipGetTargetFrameworkProperties>True</SkipGetTargetFrameworkProperties>
</ProjectReference>
</ItemGroup>
This isn't really an issue, but I would just like to know if MSIX/AppInstaller currently supports this functionality or if I am doing something wrong?
When using the Windows Application Packaging Project with .NET Core 3 it creates an app-local .NET Core package which is fully self contained. The single file, is currently not supported. I've forwarded your feedback to the Visual Studio team.
