Version on MSIX installer for MAUI .NET

Question

When I publish my MAUI.NET project for windows. I get a functional MSIX installer, no problems there.

However, the version on the installer is always 1.0.0.1. When to I need to change or include to make this be something else?

In my project I have 'AssemblyVerions' and 'FileVersion' set.

I am using Visual Studio 17.3.5. The command line I am using to publish is: dotnet publish -f net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0 -c Release /p:RuntimeIdentifierOverride=win10-x64

Hello @Paul Voelker ,

You can check the Version attribute of the Identity element in the app manifest: open Package.appxmainfest under Platforms/Windows folder, go to Packaging tab, then try to set Version.

Or you can right-click Package.appxmainfest and open it with source code editor, then try to modify the version :

<Identity Name="XXX" Publisher="XXX" Version="X.X.X.0" />// the last number must be left as 0, the other sections must be set to an integer between 0 and 65535  

For more details, you can refer to Package version numbering - Microsoft Store | Microsoft Learn
