When I create a sample cordova app in Visual Studio I can target Android and it generates an APK what I can open easily in Android. How to do the same for Windows 8/8.1 ? ... what is the equivalent of the APK file for windows? (I was looking for a .exe or similar but cant find ... assume this must be simple!?)
In Windows 8.0/8.1 .appx and .appxupload package are created after build and like apk this is also a zip file, to view the content of package, change the extension to .zip and extract the content. *.appx is equivalent to apk in Windows. Appx package after build is located at bld[Debug or Release]\platforms\Windows\AppPackages
