Determine windows app category (Game, productivity, Music, etc)

[vimalraj-adikesavan]

I am trying to determine the category of Windows Store applications installed on a windows 11 machine. According to online documentation, the 'AllAppCategoryMappings.json' file should contain the app and category mappings. However, the file on my machine appears to be in a binary format instead of JSON.

Could anyone assist me with the file format and parsing this binary file?

It's a preliminary feature under early development without any announcement. No support will be provided and it can change a lot.

Further more, this is not the correct place to ask. .NET doesn't work directly with these Windows features.
