Latest experimental channel release notes for the Windows App SDK
Important
The experimental channel is not supported for use in production environments, and apps that use the experimental releases cannot be published to the Microsoft Store.
The experimental channel includes releases of the Windows App SDK with experimental channel features in early stages of development. APIs for experimental features have the Experimental attribute. If you call an experimental API in your code, you will receive a build-time warning. All APIs in the experimental channel are subject to extensive revisions and breaking changes. Experimental features and APIs may be removed from subsequent releases at any time.

- If you'd like to upgrade an existing app from an older version of the Windows App SDK to a newer version, see Update existing projects to the latest release of the Windows App SDK.
- For documentation on experimental releases, see Install tools for preview and experimental channels of the Windows App SDK.

Bug fixes
This release includes the following bug fixes:
- Changed
SplitButton
so touch input now matches the behavior of mouse input. For more info, see GitHub issue #178. - Changed cascading menus so sub menus now open immediately if clicked. For more info, see GitHub issue #939.
- Fixed an issue where opening a
ComboBox
which is in a flyout closes all flyouts. For more info, see GitHub issue #1467. - Fixed an issue where
SwipeControl
would randomly crash in aListView
. For more info, see GitHub issue #2527. - Fixed an issue where drag-and-drop only a
ListViewItem
would leave it in the wrong visual state. For more info, see GitHub issue #3458. - Fixed an issue in
StackLayout
so that it respects the ItemsRepeater.HorizontalAlignment and ItemsRepeater.VerticalAlignment properties (when StackLayout.Orientation is Vertical and Horizontal respectively). The old layout behaved as if the ItemsRepeater alignment was Stretch. With the fix, the layout results in items aligned to the right when the Right alignment is used, for example. For more info, see GitHub issue #3842. - Fixed an issue where deleting items in the
ItemsRepeater
's source would not generate items which moved up into view. For more info, see GitHub issue #6661. - Fixed an issue where the right Alt key would not show keytips for Access Keys. For more info, see GitHub issue #8447. Note: This may result in key events for the right Alt key no longer being delivered to handles in the app or controls.
- Fixed a crash where
UniformGridLayout
would sometimes pick a wrong layout anchor and cause infinite layout passes when scrolling backwards. For more info, see GitHub issue #9199. - Fixed an issue where setting
NavigationFailedEventArgs.Handled
to True would still throw an exception. For more info, see GitHub issue #9632. - Fixed an issue where
TabView
would not apply any specifiedCornerRadius
. For more info, see GitHub issue #9846. - Fixed a potential layout cycle crash in
StackLayout
. For more info, see GitHub issue #9852. - Fixed a potential crash in
ItemsView
when removing items. For more info, see GitHub issue #9868.
