APPX is the file format used to distribute and install application software and middleware for Windows Store apps applications in Windows 8 and beyond.[1] It also replaces the XAP file format on Windows Phone, from version 8.1, in an attempt to unify the distribution of applications for Windows Phone and Windows 8.[2]
The Windows Phone Marketplace allows users to download APPX files to an SD Card and install them manually.
APPX File is only compatible with Windows Phone 8.1 and later versions[3]
In contrast, sideloading is prohibited in Windows 8, unless the user has a developers license or in a business domain.[4]
