Description
Whenever you try to create a bundle (that isn't flat) it will fail because this piece of code is not implemented
https://github.com/microsoft/msix-packaging/blob/efeb9dad695a200c2beaddcba54a52c8320bd135/src/msix/pack/AppxBundleWriter.cpp#L117-L121
Is there any plan to implement this? I need it so that I can create .msixbundles that are suitable for the msstore. I would be happy to implement this for you but would need some direction

Research direction
Start with src/msix/pack/AppxBundleWriter.cpp at lines 117-121, where non-flat bundle creation is not implemented. Trace the bundle-writing entry point and determine the required behavior for non-flat bundles. Done means creating a .msixbundle suitable for the Microsoft Store succeeds.
