Next steps for getting your PWA into the Microsoft Store

You've successfully generated a Windows app package for your PWA. 😎 This app package uses the legacy EdgeHTML engine to power your PWA on Windows.

Your next steps:

  1. Test your app: run install-edgehtml.ps1 to install your app on your Windows machine.
  2. Submit your app package to the Microsoft Store: upload the .appxbundle file to the Microsoft Store.

Each step is explained below.

1. Test your app on your Windows machine

Your zip file contains install-edgehtml.ps1. This is a PowerShell script that installs your app and lets you test it before submitting to the Store.

Right-click install.ps1 and choose Run with PowerShell.

💁‍♂️ Heads up:

If you get an error saying, "install.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system", you can fix this by opening PowerShell as Administrator, then entering the command Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass Once completed, you'll be able to run install.ps1.

The install script will install and launch your PWA app. Once complete, you'll find your app in the Start Menu.

2. Submit your app package to the Microsoft Store

Your zip file contains a *.edgehtml.appxbundle bundle. This is your EdgeHTML-based Windows app package that can be submitted to the Microsoft Store through the Windows Partner Center.

When you're ready to publish to the Store, you can either:

Once you submit your app, it will be reviewed. Once approved -- typically within 24 hours -- your PWA will be available in the Microsoft Store and accessible to ~1 billion Windows users worldwide. 😎
