Hello,
Could someone show me how to download the actual Windows Phone app file, .XAP, from the new Windows Store?
Before the Windows 10 release, there was a link in the app page to download the app file and install it manually on the Windows Phone. Has that been removed with the Windows 10 Update?
Thank you in advance.

Think it's gone now from the updated store website. Microsoft would rather you just use the Store to install an app anyway as that then updates and remains up to date.

The store is transitioning to Win 10 Mo and Universal Apps... It is a work in progress. That function is misplaced at this time.
