Partner Center reporting a bug for latest version of BuildTools

[DRAirey1]

Describe the bug

I have an application that builds, runs and passes all validation tests locally, but when I submit it to the store, I get:

Package acceptance validation error: The package Desktop (Package)_1.35.14.0_x86_Production.msix uses an unsupported version of file makepri.exe (10.0.26100.1). The following versions are allowed: < 10.0.10500.0; >= 10.0.10586.0 & < 10.0.11000.0; >= 10.0.14383.0 & < 10.0.14800.0; >= 10.0.15053.0 & < 10.0.15100.0; >= 10.0.16299.0 & < 10.0.16350.0; >= 10.0.17134.0 & < 10.0.17500.0; >= 10.0.17763.0 & < 10.0.18199.0; >= 10.0.18362.0 & < 10.0.18799.0; >= 10.0.19041.0 & < 10.0.19399.0; >= 10.0.20348.0 & < 10.0.21242.0; >= 10.0.22000.194 & < 10.0.22350.0; >= 10.0.22621.0 & < 10.0.25054.0.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Install the latest version of SDK BuildTools in your WinUI project.
   

2. Update to the latest version of Visual Studio.

3. Build your application.

4. Submit it to the Windows Store.

Expected behavior

I expect the application to pass the validation tests.

Seeing this too

[myokeeh]

To clarify, the app I tried submitted is a UWP app. I think the Partner Center isn't ready for 10.0.26100 yet.

[shyamshr93]

facing the same issue. any update on this ?

[gagansuie]

Same issue here as well. Reverting back to this version in the mean time.

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools" Version="10.0.22621.3233" />

[Armorost]

uninstall "Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools" from the app Packages seems to remove the pb to me

[ritesh3103]

The version 10.0.26100.1 was updated on May 22, 2024 and after a month or more, Microsoft Partner Center is not ready for it. Reverting back to the version 10.0.22621.3233 solved the issue.

[jbe2277]

Any updates regarding this issue?

[Rarisma]

I am experiencing this too.

[zhuxb711]

Same here. Only way to solve this is downgrade the BuildTools.

[MartinZikmund]

Also just hit this problem, but have no workaround, as some of my dependencies already bumped to latest stable as well

[matthewacme]

Aug 14th and I'm still seeing this

[IsmailHassani]

Same here

[Sevael]

:( Same here

[SolidRockProgrammer]

Same here, we can't deploy our latest version UNO app, and we can't down grade.

[MartinZikmund]

@SolidRockProgrammer if you don't mind using older version of Uno.Extensions, you can use the following in Directory.Build.Props:

<!-- Temporary workaround for https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/4480 -->
<WinAppSdkBuildToolsVersion Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('windows10'))">10.0.22621.3233</WinAppSdkBuildToolsVersion>
<UnoExtensionsVersion Condition="$(TargetFramework.Contains('windows10'))">4.2.2</UnoExtensionsVersion>

This is, of course, just a workaround, and the issue itself needs to be resolved

Is that really STILL a thing??

CC @Sergio0694 @dpaulino - do you have a point of contact for this at Partner Center team that could help please?

[Sergio0694]

I'd suggest pinging ankur06 in the microsoft-store channel on Discord (https://aka.ms/microsoftstorediscord).
He's the PM for Partner Center working on the submission pipeline, he might be able to help.
As far as I know though this is just a matter of the pipeline not having been updated yet, so it likely just needs time.
Keep in mind that 26100 isn't even out yet (the SDK is stable, but Windows 26100 isn't available yet in GA).

myokeeh has pinged ankur06 in microsoft-store Discord channel 👍

[KevinLaMS]

Hey, @DRAirey1 I am newly joining the team and will take a look at this? Thanks!

[BrianDT]

Microsoft have requested an update to one of my apps and will delist the app at the end of the September if a new version has not been published by then. This issue is a major inconvenience.
