Can I generate an appx with a windows phone project?

275 views Asked by At

My question is based on this:

I have a xamarin forms project, (which has 3 projects: iOS, Android and Windows phone). Using the build options Release ARM we have successfully generated an .xap file to upload it to the windows phone store.

My question is: Using the same project can we generate a appx file to upload it to the windows store or do we have to create a Windows Store app?

As far as I know this is not possible since I have "Create App packages" disabled:

Thanks in advance.

When you have completed 'Store - Create App Package..' (answer: 'No' when it asks about Store deployment), APPX file appears in Debug/Release (NOT Package output) folder. If menu disabled - try to reload project/solution or restart VS.
