SoftwareInfo XML schema overview

MBAE deprecation warning

Important

Starting in Windows 10, version 1803, the MBAE app experience is replaced by an MO UWP app. For more information about MO UWP apps, see UWP mobile broadband apps.

A metadata package contains one SoftwareInfo.xml document, which contains information that the operating system downloads a UWP app. This information results in privileged access for apps.

The data within the Softwareinfo.xml document is formatted based on the SoftwareInfo XML Schema, which is described in this section.

Note

The XML document must be saved by using UTF-8 encoding.

For the complete definition of the SoftwareInfo XML schema, see SoftwareInfo XML Schema Definition.

For information about the elements that are defined by the SoftwareInfo XML schema, see SoftwareInfo XML Schema Definition.

For an example of XML data in the format that is defined by the SoftwareInfo XML schema, see SoftwareInfo XML Example.
