Microsoft App Manifest

A Microsoft App Manifest is a file that provides essential information about an application, such as its name, version, and permissions needed to run. Think of it as an introduction and checklist for the app, helping the operating system understand how to manage and display the application. The manifest defines how the app integrates with the system, what features it uses, and its requirements, ensuring a smoother experience for users and developers alike. Essentially, it serves as both a guide and a set of rules for the app’s operation.
