MSIX Deployment?

Has anyone figured out a great way to package/maintain MSIX App packages?
The concept is awesome, but the process to implement is clunky.
We looked into it a bit last year, but find it difficult to invest the time to use it in production for our clients.

Hello - Yes we were able to get MSIX working on Nerdio 4.6.1 as remote app and W10 multiuser with apps attaching as VHDX. The process is made simpler my using Azure Files / Azure Premium Files.  Simply package using MSIX w/ PSFtooling and upload via Nerdio MSIX image page. Nerdio will automatically start the conversion from MSIX to VHDX/CIM files once uploaded. Published as Remote App or W10 with apps attached. Be sure to get app code sign cert as well.   

followed the step here from upload MSIX package section.

Thanks, Sapan Parikh!

Nerdio makes it really easy to get MSIX working.
The problem we're having is the packaging/updating/Certificate management process for the MSIX packages.
I'll check-out that PSFTooling tool and see if it helps us.

Hey Dave, great post.  I love Deans videos :)

I was cracking up last week when he posted this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOc0HvDeNOQ and he still had a Nerdio Workspace in his AVD Client

Thanks for keeping the community active and thriving!
