Updated: Reduce the size of your XAP/APPX package!
Read OriginalThis article provides an update to a previous technical post about optimizing Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 app packages (XAP/APPX). It addresses an issue where XML documentation files were unnecessarily included in the final build, increasing package size. The author presents an improved solution that requires modifying only the projects that produce a package output, simplifying the optimization process for multi-project solutions.
