My team is writing a .NET Core application expected to run both on Windows and Mac. We created a windows and a mac installer using WiX. We are now looking into implementing custom auto-update capabilities.
We would like to explore using MSIX instead of writing a custom updater. Everything looks promising for Windows; however, we are unable to find any detail documentation regarding the use of msix on a Mac.
Ideally, we would like to have our installer for both windows and mac available at our data center. from a central location we would like to deploy updates to all our customers and have the application automatically update. is this possible for the Mac users?

We are also looking for something similar, can anyone help/point to relevant docs?

@Avanegas for macOS, we support packing/unpacking an MSIX via the MSIX SDK. This can be done either by using makemsix tool in a similar way as makeappx or directly linking your application to libmsix.dylib and use the AppxPackaging APIs. We are looking at what it might mean to add a deployment stack macOS.
