How to deploy Visual Studio Cordova for Windows 8?

Question

When I create a sample cordova application in Visual Studio, I can configure Android and it creates an APK that I can easily open in Android. How to do the same for Windows 8 / 8.1? ... which is equivalent to the APK file for Windows? (I was looking for EXE or similar, but could not find ... suppose this should be easy !?)

Answer 1

On Windows 8.0 / 8.1, .appx and .appxupload packages are created after assembly and as an APK, this is also a zip file to view the contents of the package, change the extension for .zip and extract the contents. * .appx is equivalent to apk on Windows. After the build, the appx package is located on bld [Debug or Release] \ platform \ Windows \ AppPackages
