Project
MSIX SDK

Describe the bug
Application shortcut created is not honoring the parameters defined in the AppxManifest.xml
In the schema, it is mentioned that uap10:Parameters is available but this value is not being used in the MSIX SDK
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/uapmanifestschema/element-application

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • When creating a MSIX package, make sure to define Application@Executable and Application@uap10:Parameters in their Appxmanifest.xml.
  • Install MSIX package
  • The shortcut (.lnk) file will not contain the arguments defined in Appxmanifest.xml's Application@uap10:Parameters

Expected behavior
The shortcut (.lnk) file should contain the arguments defined in Appxmanifest.xml's Application@uap10:Parameters

Platform
Windows

Can you post the AppxManifest.xml for review, thanks. (remove any sensitive details but leave the techy goodness lol)

Here is the sample AppxManifest with Application@uap10:Parameters
sample_AppxManifest.txt

I also have a question regarding the VisualGroup. From my understanding, it is used to organize MSIX shortcuts in the Start Menu, as explained here: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/group-msix-shortcuts-in-start-menu.html . Additionally, I’d like to mention in this bug report that the VisualGroup doesn’t seem to be respected in the SDK either.
