Latest experimental channel release notes for the Windows App SDK

Important

The experimental channel is not supported for use in production environments, and apps that use the experimental releases cannot be published to the Microsoft Store.

The experimental channel includes releases of the Windows App SDK with experimental channel features in early stages of development. APIs for experimental features have the Experimental attribute. If you call an experimental API in your code, you will receive a build-time warning. All APIs in the experimental channel are subject to extensive revisions and breaking changes. Experimental features and APIs may be removed from subsequent releases at any time.
