Manage custom apps for HoloLens

HoloLens supports many existing applications from the Microsoft Store, as well as new apps built specifically for HoloLens. This article focuses on custom holographic applications.

For more information about store apps, see Manage apps with the store.

  1. Establish a connection from Device Portal to the target HoloLens.

  2. In the left navigation, navigate to the Apps page .

  3. Under App Package browse to the .appx file that is associated with your application.

    Important

    Make sure to reference any associated dependency and certificate files.

Deploying from Microsoft Visual Studio 2015

    • Make sure the address points to the Wi-Fi IP address of your HoloLens.
    • Set authentication to Universal (Unencrypted Protocol).
