MSIX: Unable to update TargetDevice in Manifest XML file
Hi shreedhar_ghare,
According to the Supported platforms - MSIX | Microsoft Docs article, the Windows Apps with Services is unsupported on your targeted client devices. As this functionality is only supported on Windows 10 2004 (and newer).
The MSIX Packaging Tool will automatically override the version settings to Windows 10 Insider Build (November 2019) version: 10.0.19025.0 if an App service is detected. Which explains why when you set your version to below this value, the tool will override it.
Apologies, I must have copied the link incorrectly. Thank you for sharing the log information in this post.

MicrosoftHi shreedhar_ghare,
Thank you for the quick response!
Following the steps you provided (using a newer Operating System, but same version of MSIX Packaging Tool) in the reproduction of the issue, I was able to successfully update the version information to the values you've specified, as well as setting 10.0.0.0 for both the MaxVersionTested` and the MinVersion values. I wanted to confirm with you that after you updated the Manifest file, did you select File > Save from within Notepad?
After you've updated and closed the Windows App AppxManifest, re-open the file and verify that the setting changes you made were retained before saving and packaging your Windows App. Please let me know if the settings are updated to the values you've specified.
Thank you for your quick response!
As suggested by you we have tried the steps below,
1. Open MSIX file in Edit MSIX packaging Tool
2. Select "Open file" under Manifest section--> FIle opened in notepad.txt
3. Updated the MinVersion="10.0.18363.1556" Saved the notepad and closed
4 Again click the "Open file" option and observed that MinVersion still pointing to MinVersion="10.0.19025.0" old value.
That means settings are not getting updated with the "Open file" option. Please find the attached screenshot for more details.

Hi shreedhar_ghare,
While editing the Windows App using the MSIX Packaging Tool, can you please review the Services report section, and confirm if there are any Services included in your package. (See the following image for reference)
Please follow the instructions found in the Microsoft Docs | MSIX Packaging Tool Logs Article to retrieve the MSIX Packaging Tool logs. You can share these as a Private message to myself, or as an attachment to this post.Thank you,
Roy
- Hello Roy_MacLachlan,
Yes, the application Adobe AcrobatReaderDC 21.001.20155 has Adobe ARM service (AdobeARMservice).
Is this service creating an issue?
The provided link is not opening at my end getting the error "about:blank#blocked"
I will try to get logs and share them with you.
Thank you,
