How do I create a UWP package?

In Solution Explorer, open the solution for your UWP app project. Right-click the project and choose Publish->Create App Packages (before Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, the Publish menu is named Store). If this option is disabled or does not appear at all, check that the project is a Universal Windows project.

The .appx package that VS produces for your UWP project is your installer. You can double-click the file, which will launch the built-in installer. In other words, with UWP the installer tech is already built into Windows.

Outside of VS, you can also use the makeappx SDK tool to produce an .appx package for your application.
