How to build and package a desktop bridge (Win32 + UWP) app in Azure DevOps for CI/CD? about msix-docs HOT 7 CLOSED

I tried creating a yaml file, but it's failing. Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dpaulino/2247ebb10f0bccadbdfb314bc0770957

And here's the error: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Microsoft\DesktopBridge\Microsoft.DesktopBridge.targets(518,5): Error : Could not find a recipe file for the referenced UWP application at ''. Please build the project.

Would be great to hear from someone at Microsoft about this asap!

Any recommendations?

I think we have the same issue MicrosoftDocs/windows-dev-docs#2090

from msix-docs.

Here's Powershell commands I tried:

• msbuild .<solution_name>.sln /t:Clean,Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86 /p:DefineConstants=PROD /p:AppxBundle=Never

• msbuild .<solution_name>.sln /t:Clean,Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64 /p:DefineConstants=PROD /p:AppxBundle=Never

• msbuild .<solution_name>.sln /t:Clean,Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64 /p:DefineConstants=PROD

We have a CI/CD pipeline sample for MSIX here - https://github.com/microsoft/devops-for-windows-apps

You can also have a look at the //Build talk walking through the sample here - https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com/sessions/77012

Hope this helps.

Hi @Huios , thank you for your link. I could fix the issue by deploying and building only x64 solution, but on the CI I get few errors for error APPX1101: Payload contains two or more files with the same destination path from one UWP component project. The project is referenced by one of the two apps contained in the package project. Duplication seems due to the package project getting output from both referenced project output and contained app's output. This happens only on our CI - using Docker. Locally I can build from command line using msbuild

@Huios This CI/CD pipeline sample should be highlighted in the doc, or listed as "Create a desktop app package from command-line".
