Add Entries to MSIX AppManifest file

Hi,
It sounds to me like you are developing this application, i.e. you have access to it source code.
The MSIX Packaging Tool is intended to be used by IT pros to create MSIX packages for apps where they don't have the source code. It is not designed for developers.
If you have access to your source code, which it sounds like you do, then you can use Visual Studio or third-party tools like Advanced Installer to create the MSIX package.
In Visual Studio and other third-party tools, you can easily manage the contents of your manifest, depending on your needs. Some tools have dedicated GUI for these options, so you don't need to manually write the manifest.
