Parent element Description
uap7:Extension Declares an extensibility point for the package.

Remarks

Use this extension only if the app is exclusively for work, and/or you provide a mechanism to restore any non-work personal data the app modifies. All files that the app creates or modifies will be encrypted on behalf of the managing organization, and become inaccessible after a selective wipe occurs, when the protection policy is removed from the device. (To safely handle both work and personal data when managed with Windows Information Protection use the enterpriseDataPolicy capability instead.)
