What is a .APPXBUNDLE file?
An .APPXBUNDLE file is a type of file used to distribute applications for Windows computers. Specifically, it is used for Windows desktop applications and UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps, which are designed to work across different Windows devices, such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones. The "bundle" in the file extension indicates that this file can contain multiple versions of the same application. Each version is compiled specifically for a different type of processor architecture, such as x86, x64, or ARM, ensuring the app runs optimally on various devices.
To open an .APPXBUNDLE file, you typically use Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 or later versions. This program is a development environment that allows developers to create, test, and manage Windows applications. When you open an .APPXBUNDLE file in Visual Studio, you can see the different versions of the app packaged inside it and manage them for deployment or further development.
