Windows App SDK (formerly known as Project Reunion)[1] is a software development kit (SDK) from Microsoft that targets the development of native desktop apps on Windows 11 and Windows 10 back to version 1809.
Despite encouraging UWP apps to migrate to the newer App SDK,[2][3] Microsoft has stated that it is not a replacement for the Windows SDK or other types of Windows desktop apps such as .NET-based WPF and WinForms or native Win32. It acts as a complement to these types of desktop apps by providing a common API set across such platforms in an attempt to unify the newer UWP/WinRT and the older Win32 platforms APIs.[4][5][6]
Components include:[7]
- WinUI 3
- Windows Runtime language bindings:
- MSIX SDK
