About this Zero-byte .APPX file

What you get

empty.appx is 0 bytes. 1kb.appx is 1,024 bytes of filler text. Both use the Windows App Package name.

How to use it in QA

Attach either file where your product asks for a .APPX file. Use the empty file for a zero-length check, and the 1 KB file for a small non-empty upload. The download names stay empty.appx and 1kb.appx.

Zero-byte .APPX questions

What is inside the files?

empty.appx is empty. 1kb.appx is about 1 KB of filler text, not a real Windows App Package.

Will an app open them?

Most apps will report an empty or invalid Windows App Package. That is the point of the fixture.

Is the download safe?

Yes. Neither file has an executable payload.
