What is Windows Application Packaging Project for?

When building my UWP project I am getting warning: This project uses the 'runFullTrust' capability. You should use the Windows Application Packaging Project to produce the store and sideload packages.

Why should I use this project and how it will affect my publishing experience?

Based on this document, it mentions

If you plan to submit a package that contains both Win32 and UWP binaries, make sure that you create that package by using the Windows Packaging Project. If you create the package by using a UWP project template, you might not be able to submit that package to the Store or sideload it onto other PCs. Even if the package publishes successfully, it might behave in unexpected ways on the user's PC.

You can refer to this document to create Windows Application Packaging Project to package your app as Desktop bridge app. In that case, declaring the fullTrustProcess extension in the manifest of your Packaging project instead of UWP project. The runFullTrust capability will be added by default in your package manifest, so you don't need to declare it again in your uwp app.

Desktop bridge app is acceptable for Microsoft Store, but when submitting, you will need to fill in some additional information and the store team will review your submission. After passing the review, the app will show in the store.
