Msix #

A command-line tool that create Msix installer for your flutter windows-build files.

Install #

In your pubspec.yaml, add msix as a new dependency.

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter
  msix: ^0.1.3  # Or the latest version

Create Msix #

Run:

PS c:\src\flutter_project\> flutter build windows
PS c:\src\flutter_project\> flutter pub run msix:create

The flutter build windows is required to build the executable that flutter pub run msix:create bundles up in the MSIX install file.
