How to make a Windows Store package for Insider builds only?

I am trying to give Windows Insider users a different version of my app. In Package.appxmanifest I specify:

<TargetDeviceFamily Name="Windows.Universal" MinVersion="10.0.17754.0" MaxVersionTested="10.0.17755.0" />
<TargetDeviceFamily Name="Windows.Desktop" MinVersion="10.0.17754.0" MaxVersionTested="10.0.17755.0" />

However, when I built it, and uploaded to Package flights of my app, the Packages section shows

Device families Windows.Universal min version 10.0.14393.0 , Windows.Desktop min version 10.0.14393.0

And when I published it, my machine with 17134 still received the update.

The app is a Desktop Bridge app.

Is this a limitation of Desktop Bridge apps, some bug, or, unlike Android, Windows does not let you make different packages for different versions of Windows 10?

Solution

  • As Nico Zhu - MSFT suggested in the comment: looks like Desktop Bridge's Store Packaging project's properties override what I put into Package.appxmanifest. The min version seems now to be correct after updating it in project properties.

    However I still can't upload to the Store, but this time due to a different issue.
