Answer 1

I had also faced the same problem, and I tried Mriganka Deka's answer. Still was unable to fix the issue as the msbuild command also gave me errors. After trying a lot of things, I found the solution to my problem.

Just go to Project --> Store --> Create App Packages and when the wizard window appears, select 'No' instead of Yes option. That way Visual Studio generates your package file on the local machine and you can upload it to Microsoft Store.

I am posting this answer as I could not find this solution anywhere. Hope it helps anyone else facing this problem.

Answer 2

I have solved this problem by not creating the app package from the project menu, i.e. Project-->Store-->Create App Packages.

Instead, I have created the package by using the Visual Studio command utility:

msbuild WindowsPhoneProjectName.csproj /p:Platform=ARM;Configuration=Release

Uploaded the generated appx package to store and it is working perfect :)

Answer 3

The solution for me was I was logged into an account that didn't have permissions. I forgot we had a special account used for app deployment as we hadn't submitted to the store in awhile. So make sure you have permissions and are logged into the correct account.

I also updated to the latest version of Visual Studio as other forums said some bugs were fixed in this area so that may have contributed to it working as well.
