Packaging and Deploying WinUI Applications
WinUI developers have several options to package and deploy their applications. Developers can create an account on Microsoft Store and upload a packaged app to be released for public consumption through Microsoft Partner Center. App packages can also be created to be distributed by organizations through Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Microsoft Intune, or sideloaded by individuals on Windows PCs.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
