App customization

App name

Open the Package.appxmanifest with a xml editor and update the following fields:

  • Properties > DisplayName with your final app name (eg: “Dana Demo”)
  • Applications > Application > uap:VisualElements with the same name (eg: “Dana Demo”)
  • Identity > Name to avoid overwriting an existing installed package (eg: “com.yourcompany.dana-demo”)

Icon assets

Icons used by the Xbox are placed under Assets folder. They can be updated manually from here.

Visual Studio IDE has a tool to automatically generates all formatted assets based on one base image. Check the doc here: Visual Studio asset generation

Caution

Be careful to keep the same filenames as they were originally created. Xbox and Microsoft systems use these names to know which assets need to be displayed.

Splash screen

Follow the documentation here: Add a splash screen.
