Remarks

This method simplifies the existing AddPackageAsync overloads by consolidating all of the deployment options into a single parameter. This method also supports the following features not available with the the AddPackageAsync overloads:

You can use the ExternalLocationURI property of the options parameter to specify the URI of an external disk location outside of the MSIX package where the package manifest can reference application content. For more information about this scenario and a related code sample, see Grant package identity by packaging with external location.
You can use the AllowUnsigned property of the options parameter to allow activation information from an executable in an unsigned package. For more information about this scenario and a related code sample, see Hosted apps.
