Hi everyone,
I am hoping that someone can help me further, I have reported this continuously to Unity over the last few months and am yet to have a working solution to this problem. But as it stands right now, I can’t deploy to the Windows Store in any fashion.
Here are my steps.
-
Have created the package name on the Windows Dev Centre, where I am the stage to upload the package.
-
Have build and run the game from Unity, as a Windows 10 Universal App and it compiles and runs fine.
-
Rebuild the game and then switch over to Visual Studio 2015 Community.
-
Associate the build with the store successfully.
-
Create package and it gets to the stage of running the report, but it fails with something about being a debug build.
-
Switch the IDE from Debug/Arm to Release or Master x86 and rebuild, builds fine.
-
try to create package and this is where the issues begin.
From this point onwards, I either get a message saying the GameName.dll can’t be found/referenced. Or I may get the following, with one for every image that Unity knows about.
App manifest references the image ‘Assets\StoreLogo.png’ which does not have a candidate in main app package.
So if I then delete the entire generated package and try to get Unity to rebuild and start again, I now continually get this message, no matter what.
I am at my wits end with this and Unity are not very helpful at this stage, in fact I have never heard back from them on this. So I am now here and hopefully someone with a bit more experience and knowledge can guide me in the right direction from this point onwards.
This is using the latest patch version released 30th Oct 2015, which I think is version 5.2.2p2 if I recall right.
I am not a guru at Visual Studio, so I maybe doing something wrong and just don’t know what I am doing.
Many thanks in advance
Hey,
could you paste full output log from Visual studio of such failed build attempt?
Do you mean the what shows up in the console window in VS or Unity, as if I go back to Unity to tyr to rebuild I also get the same errors.
The ones that show up in VS.
I hope this is what you’re asking for.
This is when VS IDE is left in the state Unity creates it.

Can you switch to “output” tab and paste text from there? It should contain more information.

Looks like there’s a bug in one version of visual studio which makes it fail with that error. There are two workarounds: either update Visual Studio tools, or edit manifest manually.

Hello, I have the same issue, help please, Best regards…
See this: https://discussions.unity.com/t/711655
It’s a known issue but the workaround is simple: just change the .vcxproj file.
Hello, I’m using VisualStudio 2017 community 15.8.3 and I can’t find the workaround in the .vcxproj, Cheers…
You don’t see “ExcludeFromResourceIndex” tags when you open .vcxproj file with a text editor? It should right next to the files it errors out about.
Hello, I’m sorry but I haven’t found it, here’s the .vcxproj file, Cheers…
That’s the wrong .vcxproj file. Look for the one named after your project (I’m guessing uVolley.vcxproj?).
Ops, I’m sorry, you are right, is in the uVolley.vcxproj, I will try it immediatly, you are the Best, thank you, Cheers…
Yes, it’s works, the App Package was created, now I’m try to upload it to Windows Dev Center, Cheers…
Hello, my game doesn’t pass the Windows Dev Center submission, I don’t know what to do, please help, Best regards…
