MSIX Queries
Here are some queries, it would be great if someone can answer them 1) How can we convert AppX package to MSIX? Is is possible using MSIX packaging tool as I don't see MSIX packaging tool considerin...
Thanks Tim for your response, It will be good if Microsoft addresses these. For point 6, I think they have fixed this in version 1.2018.1005, the one which got released couple of days back.
For #1, there is no real need to convert a .appx file to MSIX. If the app is already working under .appx you'll get all the platform benefits and more backwards compatibility.
#3 we have commented more OS extensibility will be coming in upcoming releases. I do not specifics on this one to share further right now however.
#5 Fonts are in the backlog, right now they are not in scope for the next Windows release.
#6 Was fixed in the latest update
#7 Nothing in the packaging tool since it not a workflow where you would convert both architectures on the same box. We are working on some command line docs to create the bundle of an x86 and x64 packages from the SDK.

Thanks John, do we have any update on #2 and also AppPath Logic seems not to be working, are these also in backlog?
