Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/6838

State: closed
Merged: Yes


The main change in 16.7 is the separation of AppContainerApplication
into WindowsStoreApp and WindowsAppContainer. There's been a bit of
interest in splitting packaging away from containment, and this is the
first step in that direction.

We're a somewhat unique application, but as WinUI3 becomes more
prevalent we will become less unique.

Some of these things, I've looked at and wondered how they ever worked.

PR Checklist

  • Closes nothing

Validation Steps Performed

Built locally and in CI. Tested the generated package with the package tester. Built on 16.6 and seen that it still seems to work.
