Reasons for making this change
The modern Windows Application Project task in Visual Studio creates files with these file extensions:
.appinstaller,.msix,.msixbundle(and others already included)..msixbundleshould definitely not be committed to source control: that is always a very large binary file.Links to documentation supporting these rule changes
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer/how-to-create-appinstaller-file for a list of all the files that is created by the modern MSIX/store packing task.
