How to set a app tile properties for a Universal Windows App

Question

This used to be done in the appmanifest but the option appears to have disappeared for Windows 10?

Answer 1

Tiles still go in the manifest. Visual Studio 2015RC doesn't have a visual manifest editor so you will need to edit the XML directly. You can find the full schema in the uap:VisualElements documentation or can see the basics in the wizard based or sample apps:

  <uap:VisualElements
    DisplayName="App181"
    Square150x150Logo="Assets\Logo.png"
    Square44x44Logo="Assets\SmallLogo.png"
    Description="App181"
    BackgroundColor="#464646">
    <uap:SplashScreen Image="Assets\SplashScreen.png" />
  </uap:VisualElements>
