Add Update-AppInstallerApp: trigger update checks for .appinstaller-installed apps #20

Description

@shmuelie

Summary

Add an Update-AppInstallerApp cmdlet that triggers an update check for apps installed from a .appinstaller file, by re-registering against the app installer file (Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile <uri>).

Details

  • Complements enumeration of .appinstaller-sourced apps (see the related Get-AppInstallerApp proposal): given an app (or all such apps), kick off its .appinstaller update check.
  • Accepts a specific app (by name/identity) or updates all discovered .appinstaller apps.
  • Should support -WhatIf/-Confirm since it changes installed app state.

Acceptance criteria

  • Triggers an update check for a named app, or for all .appinstaller-sourced apps.
  • No-op (not error) when there are none / nothing to update.
  • Honors -WhatIf.
  • Windows-only; degrades cleanly elsewhere.

Notes

Ships the mechanism only; personal wiring stays downstream.
