2.0 Preview 1 (2.0-preview1) 🔃

The first preview of WinAppSDK 2.0 is now available! Check out the release notes for more information on the new & updated features and known issues.

Updates to this version:

  • Updated ONNX Runtime version to 1.24 RC.

  • New InputFocusController.ShouldShowKeyboardCues property to guide developers on whether to show keyboard cues right after the creation of a ContentIsland.

  • New convenience API PointerPoint.GetCurrentPoint, to allow developers to get the active PointerPoint data from the provided pointerId.

  • Improved DeleteIndex reliability. Sometimes DeleteIndex would fail with ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION.

  • App Content Search are part of a separate Microsoft.Windows.Search package instead of being part of Microsoft.Windows.AI package.

  • New AppContentIndexer APIs and renamed AppContentIndexer APIs.

Bugs fixed in the new WinAppSDK Release:

  • Fix for prefix search not working with short query strings.
  • Fix for OCR Bounding boxes returning negative values in some edge cases.
  • Fixed bug where if RegisterCertifiedAsync is called again in the same process, it incorrectly returns 0 execution providers (EP).
  • Fixed an issue where the WindowsAppSDK installer showed no progress during installation, making it appear stalled. The installer now provides clearer progress feedback.
  • Improved error handling of scenarios where WindowsAppSDKSelfContained is enabled for class libraries.
