    Microsoft.Build.Msix.Packaging.MsixBundle.targets
    =======================================================================
    
    This targets file can be imported at the bottom of the main app project file (.csproj):
    
      <Import Project="Microsoft.Build.Msix.Packaging.MsixBundle.targets" />
    
    In order to build a .msix bundle, you can use `dotnet build`:
    
      dotnet build /t:GenerateMsixBundle -f net7.0-windows10.0.19041.0 <path/to/app.csproj>
    
    In order to control the RIDs in the app bundle, you can override them using the $(RuntimeIdentifiers)
    propertyin your .csproj. Make sure to condition on the Windows TargetFramework:
    
      <PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'windows'">
        <RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64;win10-x86;win10-arm64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
      </PropertyGroup>
  -->

  <!-- Make sure all the available RIDs are specified -->
  <PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'windows' and '$(RuntimeIdentifiers)' == ''">
    <RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64;win10-x86;win10-arm64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <!-- Make at least one RID is specified for the IDE -->
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier($(TargetFramework)))' == 'windows' and '$(RuntimeIdentifier)' == '' ">
    <_SingleProjectHostArchitecture>$([System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation]::OSArchitecture)</_SingleProjectHostArchitecture>
    <_SingleProjectHostArchitecture>$(_SingleProjectHostArchitecture.ToLower())</_SingleProjectHostArchitecture>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>win10-$(_SingleProjectHostArchitecture)</RuntimeIdentifier>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <!-- Workaround for https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/3337 -->

Your code helped me a lot, thank you.

Hello @mattleibow
Am trying to use this file for generating msixbundle from a .Net MAUI Blazor App and it is generating the msixbundle file successfully.
But when I try to sideload the generated msixbundle using a custom appinstaller file, am getting a full package name mismatch error from the installer.

So, I further analyzed and found that the generated msix bundle contains a file AppxMetadata/AppxBundleManifest.xml and this file contains the wrong version number for the Identity tag instead of the app version number.

So, can you please help me configure the bundle to use the current app version number for the Identity tag in file AppxMetadata/AppxBundleManifest.xml

@kumaresan-cgvak same issue for me. I fixed the version of the bundle file.

See my modified version of this file here https://gist.github.com/alexlogvin/afb12cdbe51e9c973d9d6a0589ab435d

@mattleibow please merge my modifications.
