I am keeping this blog as a reference at this point, though it is updated as well
This example is of the web.The Official SQL Server SSDT Doc contains updated information on these steps. To configure the web server you must verify the MIME types used for the file types in use. Typically, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) are used to upload the files, but there are other publishing methods like MSDeploy, SSH, or Blob storage, depending on your web provider.
Publishing to a web location requires access to publish content to the web server, making sure the final URL matches the Installation URL defined in the wizard (see Step 6 for details). The wizard will generate the files in the correct location, and users will get both the app and future updates from the same path. If you want to publish your packages over Universal Naming Convention (UNC) shared folders, configure the app package output folder and the Installation URL (see Step 6 for details) to the same path. To make the application available the generated files must be published to the location specified: Publish to shared folders (UNC) The output folder includes all the files needed to sideload the app, including an HTML page that can be used to promote your app. When your app has been successfully packaged, a dialog will display the location of the output folder containing your app package. Here, you can specify the Installation URL and the frequency of update checks. If you checked Enable automatic updates in Step 2, the Configure Update Settings dialog will appear. If you're unsure which architecture(s) to choose, or want to learn more about which architectures are used by various devices, see App package architectures.Ĭonfigure any additional details, such as version numbering or the package output location. If you select a bundle it will generate a single installer, however if you don't want a bundle and prefer one package per architecture you will also get one installer file per architecture. The Select and Configure Packages dialog allows you to select the supported architecture configurations. and Enable automatic updatesĮnable automatic updates is enabled only if the project's TargetPlatformMinVersion is set to the correct version of Windows 10. Select I want to create packages for sideloading. Right-click the project and choose Store -> Create App Packages. To do that, use the Create App Packages wizard in Visual Studio with the following steps. To distribute an app via sideloading, you must create an app package (.appx/.msix) or app bundle (.appxbundle/.msixbundle) and publish it in a shared location. The app installer file is only generated when the TargetPlatformMinVersion is Windows 10, Version 1803 or greater.
