Packaging a suite of UWP apps


I’m having a suite of uwp apps, say app1, app2, app3. These Apps communicate with each other via app service. Without app1, app2 & app3 can’t work. Assume app1 as accounts service app which provides authtoken for app2 and app3. Now I want to bundle all the 3 apps into a single package and when user downloads from the store all the 3 apps should be installed. How can I achieve this in UWP store/packaging. Please help me on this

  • Now I want to bundle all the 3 apps into a single package and when user downloads from the store all the 3 apps should be installed.

    No, it is not possible to do that if you want to upload your app to the store. But there is a way that might be possible to work if your app is a side-loaded app.

    You could try to modify the manifest to include multiple Applications in the Applications section. When the user installs the package they'll get all of the apps. Please remember this only works for the sideloaded app as I mentioned previously.
