appx

I have finally succeeded converting my desktop app to AppX with Desktop App Converter, and to sign it with the insight from Franklin Chen . Step by step, I am getting closer to completion. But I am now bumping into a new hurdle (hopefully the last). I tried to follow the advice at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/07/07/using-visual-c-runtime-in-centennial-project/ I did install on my machine vc_uwpdesktop.110.exe, vc_uwpdesktop.120.exe and vc_uwpdesktop.140.exe. But still not joy. When I try to install the AppX, I get this error message : Ask the developer for a new app package.

I'm working on a project with a lot of files (a game). These files can change from outside VS 2013, e.g. by artists. The files are located in subdirectories and our game expects them there. For instance images/items/block.png I've tried using a post-build event xcopy /C /Y /I /R /S /Q "$(SolutionDir)game_data\*" "$(TargetDir)" and also with $(LayoutDir). The problem does not occur on our Desktop (Windows RT Store) project because I just copy the files to the build's AppX directory and when I run, the exe finds them. But with Windows Phone there is NO AppX directory anymore and it DOESN't copy

We have an app with a manual packaging process (MakeAppx.exe). We would like to publish this app to the Store including the public symbols files, so that I can download the .cab process dump file for crash analysis ( such as described here ). I understand the .appxupload is a zip-file contaning the .appx package and an .appxsym file, which in turn is a .zip file containing the .pdb files ( also according to MSDN ). Is it safe to manually generate/edit these .appxsym and .appxupload for publishing? Yes. This is fine. As you note, the appxupload's format is documented as being a zip archive

screenshot of the error I am getting this error:" App installer failed to install package dependencies.Ask the developer for Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.Debug package " while side loading .appxbundle file via App installer in windows10 client machine, however the same was sideloaded in my (developer) machine without any issue. I am using Visual Studio 2017 for development. Couldn't find anything relevant in google. Somebody help..!! Try to add it to Dependencies section into .appinstaller file: <Dependencies> <Package Name="Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00" Publisher="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft

I'm trying to understand the appxmanifest file for APPX packages better. I noticed it has an <Applications> tag followed by a single <Application> tag for every example I've seen. It would appear though that multiple "applications" can be included in the Manifest. What would this actually even mean though? Is this actually possible or was Microsoft just thinking about forward compatibility when designing the AppxManifest schema? The manifest does define this as a possibility, and with hand editing, it is possible to do this. However, you won't pass store certification for this I believe.

I have Xamarin Application. I can build ipa, APK and UWP(.appx) package. ipa and APK is working fine. I am facing issue while installing UWP. Issue with UWP: It is asking to install Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.2.1 as it is one of the dependencies. Do I need to add Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.2.1 in project? If so, where? Can anybody please suggest? I gave created package with following steps 1: Right click UWP project-> Store-> Select create app packages 2: Now in debug mode we don't need to upload it to the store that's why I select No 3: Than I give path for output location. Give version and
