Greetings, I have captured a win32 application and package it in an Msix package. I want to know if I should add an API or some other add-on to install the package on mobile devices (Windows Phone).
I am using Advanced Installer to make the package, this is possible using Advanced Installer.

Re: Package UWP in Windows Phone
Hello and welcome to our forums,
I am afraid this is not possible, from what we know. Desktop bridged UWP apps (i.e. Win32 apps repackaged into an MSIX package) can run only on desktop devices with x86 or x64 processor architectures or on Always Connected PCs with special ARM processors (Qualcomm Snapdragon 835) which could emulate x86 applications.
So, if you want to deploy your old win32 app on a Windows Phone device you will have to rewrite its source code to be Windows Phone compatible.
Hope this helped.
All the best,
Daniel
