I am new to Windows Phone development and have a quick question, it may be very simple to answer but I have had no luck whens searching.
What is the difference between an appx application and an appxbundle application?

APPX and APPXBUNDLE are file formats on which a Windows application is compressed or packaged in. These type of compression formats were introduced for the Microsoft's operating system in Windows 8.
An APPXBUNDLE file is a package file created with Microsoft Visual Studio and is used for distribution of Windows apps (both Desktop and UWP) on Microsoft Store. It contains one or more versions of an app, targeting specific processor architecture such as x86, x64, or ARM.
In the case of Magniber ransomware, the disguised APPX file is digitally signed with a valid certificate, so Windows sees them as trusted files that do not trigger a warning.
Once the app has been installed open File Explorer. Navigate to the APPX file, and double-click it. You will see a window showing information about the package. Click Install (or Update if you're updating an app), and it will be installed.
Single appx app targets specific architecture, appxbundle contains all architecture support mentioned while creating package.
