Not to be confused with windows apps, the branded name for UWP apps.
UWP has been deprecated for some time now. thurrott.com/…/microsoft-officially-deprecates-uw…
as it pushes the desktop-focused Windows App SDK (formerly called Project Reunion) and WinUI 3 as the future of Windows application development.
I didn’t know there was a distinction between these and UWP. In any case, I’m pretty sure that these are also called windows apps.
WinUI apps are packaged in a similar fashion to traditional applications. I can deploy an exe or MSI installer, UWP required msix (store).
I was on about the Windows App SDK part (unless I’m wrong about that too), but I included the rest of the line.
