It bridges the gap between cross-platform development and Windows-native capabilities. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when you need to: - Initialize a Windows app project with SDK setup, manifests, and certificates - Create MSIX packages from application directories - Generate or manage AppxManifest.xml files - Create and install development certificates for signing - Add package identity for debugging Windows APIs - Sign MSIX packages or executables - Access Windows SDK build tools from any framework - Build Windows apps using cross-platform frameworks (Electron, Rust, Tauri, Qt) - Set up CI/CD pipelines for Windows app deployment - Access Windows APIs that require package identity (notifications, Windows AI, shell integration) - Publish apps to the Microsoft Store via `winapp store` - Create external catalogs for asset management - Set up .NET (csproj) projects with Windows App SDK via NuGet ## Prerequisites - Windows 10 or later - winapp CLI installed via one of these methods: - **WinGet**: `winget install Microsoft.WinAppCli --source winget` - **NPM** (for Electron): `npm install @microsoft/winappcli --save-dev` - **GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps**: Use [setup-WinAppCli](https://github.com/microsoft/setup-WinAppCli) a...
