1.0 Preview 2 Release is LIVE!
Pre-release
1.0 Preview 2 Release of Windows App SDK
WARNING: Versions 1.0 Preview 1 and 2 of the Windows App SDK contain a critical bug that corrupts your system’s PATH variable. We are fixing this in the upcoming 1.0 Preview 3 release. If you’ve already installed one of these previews, see this GitHub thread for how to resolve the issue: #1599. Until Preview 3 is available, we recommend using version 1.0 Experimental or being aware of this issue and how it might impact your work.
We've just released version 1.0 Preview 2 of the Windows App SDK. This is the first version that adds Windows 11 styles to WinUI 3! And single-project MSIX project templates are now included with the VSIX, so you can easily create a new packaged project that uses one single project! There are a few known issues around single-project MSIX documented in the release notes. This is a great opportunity to try out what's new and provide feedback before the 1.0 Stable (GA) release!
