AppxManifest.xml documentation

Copper Contributor

Hello,

Is there a more detailed documentation available how to populate AppxManifest.xml? We want to add MSIX building support to our packaging tool, but we are having trouble finding how to generate it. Are we really supposed to just fill it out manually based on the manifest schema? For example, is there documentation available on how to correctly convert HKCR registry entries to a com entry in the AppxManifest.xml?

Here are some helpful documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/appx-package-manifest?context=/windows/msix...

Depending on how you build your package, there are tools like Visual Studio and our MSIX Packaging Tool that will generate and populate the manifest for you.
