I can create App Packages from Visual Studio 2013 using the wizard.

enter image description here

The result file is MyProject_Win8_1.1.1.3_x86_x64_arm_bundle.appxupload, which is fine!

I can use the following command to build an .appxupload file for any platform. 

msbuild mysolution.sln /property:Configuration="Release" /t:"myproject_Win8" /p:Platform="ARM" /m:4 /t:"Publish"

which leads to generation of MyProject_Win8_1.1.1.3_ARM.appxupload

How can I tell msbuild to build all 3 platforms I need and generate one .appxupload file, which will contain them all?

  • Possible duplicate if you're looking for a solution for VS2015: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32469750/can-msbuild-create-an-appxbundle-for-multiple-platforms – sibbl Dec 18 '15 at 16:46
  • @sibbl: It's not a duplicate. I use VS2013 and I've got x86|x64|arm line in my project file, but it doesn't help – deko Dec 22 '15 at 06:46
  • The version is added automatically when use msbuild command ? or it was set as parameter somewhere ? – Snake Eyes Aug 22 '19 at 07:43
  • @deko How did you set the versioning number via a command ("/p:...")? – Perazim Jul 11 '23 at 06:45

Try this command line :

MSBuild mysolution.sln  /p:Configuration=Release;AppxBundle=Always;AppxBundlePlatforms="x86|x64|ARM"

  • The first line works fine! The secons line fails with an error MSB4126: The specified solution configuration "Release|ARM|x86|x64" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution configuration using the Configuration and Platform properties (e.g. MSBuild.exe Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU") or leave those properties blank to use the default solution configuration. Please leave the firstline only and I'll mark it as an answer. – deko Dec 22 '15 at 06:57
  • For me, running this produces an appxbundle, but no appxupload. Did that work for you @deko ? (might be that I'm using VS15 instead of 13?) – ILOABN Jun 22 '16 at 16:46
