无法为商店UWP创建发布应用程序包

Question

I am creating an application with Ionic / Cordova that must work on Windows 10. The application works well when I build it from Visual Studio in "debug" and "x64" configuration. But when I want to create an app package from "Project" > "Store" > "Create App Package", it fails with error :

Error MSB6006 "ilc.exe" exited with code 1200

Digging deeper, I can find in the output tab the error :

System.InvalidOperationException: Le nom de propriété "MSBuildToolsPath" est réservé

It's in French, I can't get the equivalent in English, it seems to mean "Property name MSBuildToolsPath is reserved"

Complete error message :

Answer 1

Most of the time those errors are fixed by updating to the latest .NET Native (Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform) package.

Can you try to update to the latest version (6.2.8)? https://github.com/Microsoft/dotnet/blob/master/releases/UWP/net-native2.2/README.md

Finally found solution !

I just had to install globally windows-build-tools to get it work. Cordova apparently needs it

npm install -g windows-build-tools
