"Create App Packages" from Command Line instead of Visual Studio

Question

Using Visual Studio 2022 I'm able to successfully create App Packages (MSIXBUNDLE) via a Windows Application Packaging Project.

Folder strucure/output:

I'm trying to replicate this via the Command Line. I can't seem to find any basic documentation on how to perform this so it can be part of CI?

Answer 1

msbuild MyApp.AppPkg/MyApp.AppPkg.wapproj /nologo /nr:false /p:AppxBundle=Always /p:UapAppxPackageBuildMode=Sideload /p:AppxBundlePlatforms="x64" /p:AppxPackageDir="C:\out\BuildTest" /p:platform="x64" /p:configuration="Release"

Seems to be working for me!
