There’s no surprise that the tech giant has also opted for a different approach for the Microsoft Store. Apparently, Microsoft is no longer trying to turn it into a profit-generating center and has cut its fees deeply, while opening the door for apps from all kinds of sources, including traditional and legacy Win32 apps.
Microsoft came up with a different way to update Store apps
There has been a lot of chatter, lately, on the Microsoft Store topic, especially the one in the new operating system, and we’ve learned that the developers decided to drop the HTML format, in favor of XAML. New information of the Store’s inner workings has surfaced, and it seems that the Redmond-based tech company is adding even more changes than initially thought. It seems that with Win32 apps Microsoft is no longer taking any responsibility for updating them, relying on the developers to constantly provide updates for their software. This means that Developers will also be able to deliver an Installer via the Store and also provide download for the app from their own CDN. To make things easier and more understandable, Microsoft will be adding a label to help consumers know of this different experience: Furthermore, this means is that getting an app from the Store implies that we will still have to put up with multiple installers in your taskbar. — フアン (@segagamer) July 22, 2021 However, this also implies that developers have little reason not to add their apps to what is essentially Microsoft’s directory service.
