During packaging the Windows Store application, I get an unspecified error [APPX1204]:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\AppxPackage\Microsoft.AppXPackage.Targets(1139,9): error APPX1204: Failed to sign 'D:\Projects\VS2012\Stroik\Stroik\AppPackages\Stroik_1.0.0.11_AnyCPU_Test\Stroik_1.0.0.11_AnyCPU.appx'. SignTool Error: An unexpected internal error has occurred.
Build output refers to the part of a file generated by VS2012:
<SignAppxPackage AppxPackageToSign="#(FinalAppxPackageItem)"
CertificateThumbprint="$(PackageCertificateThumbprint)"
CertificateFile="$(PackageCertificateKeyFile)"
HashUri="$(_HashUri)"
EnableSigningChecks="$(EnableSigningChecks)"
>
<Output TaskParameter="ResolvedThumbprint" PropertyName="ResolvedThumbPrint"/>
<Output TaskParameter="AppxPackagePublicKeyFile" PropertyName="AppxPackagePublicKeyFile" />
</SignAppxPackage>
Yesterday packaging proceeded successfully. Today I added aditional logic to my app and changed some data in manifest. Since then I'm reciving presented error. I tried to regenerate Certificate in Packaging menu, delete Store/Temporary Keys (then regenerate), ... much more but nothing helps.
Now I have no idea how to handle it. Furthermore packaging a new project (as it is provided by vs2012) results in the same error.
Have you got any suggestions how to solve it.
If it helps anyone else, I was trying to make the build on a network share (virtualizing windows). Creating it on the Windows partition solved the issue.
I was developing on a Virtual Machine in VirtualBox and tryed to publish to the shared folder.
Change the output folder to a local folder on the virtual maschine solved it.
Granted this is older - see if you can try it with a different live id
You could also try to generate a new app, and diff the manifests between the apps.
Now according to:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/toolsforwinapps/thread/f25939fb-c48c-4bd0-938e-6a0afbd2dca0/
you may want to sign out, use IE 'in safe private browsing' and create a new one.
Also ensure that IE is set in "Browsing History->Settings" to get a new version of the page every time.
Login with the new one and give it a try.
I'm not sure if this error is related here or not, but it's a starting point based on the prior feedback on the above post.
This japanese site lists the same error code and seems to have the same resolution as well

Its worth a shot, but I'll admit on this one not being 100% sure, just trying to help out : )

I'm quite new to the world of the IOT (protocols). I want to update some devices remotely (they will be installed about 8000km away from my working place). I have found out that LWM2M would fit to my scope.
Because the internet connection there is not stable and the bandwidth is low, I have decided to also install a Raspberry Pi to collect the data of the sensors and to install a Leshan server to trigger the updates.
I have tested the devices and I can register them to the Leshan server on the Pi, read some data, and reboot the devices. The problem is, I don't know where to save my binary file for the update, so that the device can download them.
I tried following steps:
Save the file on [leshan-dir]/update.bin.
Write the "Package URI": coap://[raspi-IP]:5683/update.bin
After that, the backgroud color of the button "Write" changes to green.
Execute the update
The response of the server is 404 [Not Found].
I have looked for any API to find out where I can save the .bin file, but without success. And because nobody seems to have had a similar error, I start thinking I have missed some points.
Where do I have to save the files on the Raspbery Pi, so that I can perform an update?
I found a solution for the problem I exposed above.
I use from the californium-project the demo-app cf-simplefile-server (Ref. https://github.com/eclipse/californium/tree/2.0.x/demo-apps/cf-simplefile-server)
Note: You have to checkout to the git-branch 2.0.x to use it.
To run the leshan server and the file-server on the same machine I had to change the port of one of the server using the file Californium.properties.
I decide to change the ones of the file-server to 5685 and 5686
When both server runs I can insert in Package URI something like:
coap://[[ip_of_the_pi]]:5685/data/[[name_of_the_firmware_file]]
Probably there are better solution for it, but for a coap/lwm2m beginner like it works very well.
Note: If you have bigger file to transfer you can also change the property MAX_RESOURCE_BODY_SIZE
I hope this may help somebody.

Recently I’ve release my Windows 10 UWP application in store .
Last week I released a new update in store ,after a week I receive lots of mail from users about a bug in my app.(Pages that want to connect to database can't open and they crash)
Funny part is that when I deploy and run it by visual studio or Powershell (appx-package command) everything works fine, so I can't find a thing.(Even in RemoteMachine and Emulator)
So I was checking my dashboard in dev center and find some "failed log" there.
How can I use these logs to find my problem?
I'm really stuck and don't know what to do!!
Solution:
In Properties of the Project there is a file named Default.rd.xml that contains an element like <Assembly Name="*Application" ...
So by mistake the attribute it was changed to name="*Application" (Don't know what changed that and VisualStudio didn't notice that.)
When I try to run my Windows Store app, it won't, and shows me this:
..."does not support the contract specified"? What contract? I'm not implementing any contract; I assume it means the Settings contract or some such, but I'm not doing any of those yet.
I went to the Help page suggested, and it says, in part, "To diagnose these errors
There are no sure ways to fix these errors. Use these techniques to diagnose the problem."
The first suggestion is:
Open Event Viewer (on the Windows Start menu, search for Event Viewer.) In Event Viewer, navigate in the tree to the Application and Services Log\Microsoft\Windows\Apps folder.
Filter the view to event Ids: 5900-6000
Examine the log and see what occurred.
Windows 8.1 only brings up web pages when I search for "Event Viewer"
Actually, I did write a utility to catch event logs, and I ran that. I found these:
***Type: Error

Message: Activation of app axXAndSpace.Visits_qtyjefqf75sa6!App failed with error: -2144927148 See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.***
But where is "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log"?
The second suggestion on the Help page was:
Use the native debugger
Configure the project to run under a native debugger.
In Visual Studio, set the Debugger Type to Native Only on the Debug (Debugging in C++ and JavaScript) page of the property pages of the start-up project.
Look at the exceptions being thrown by looking at the output window. You might want to configure the debugger to stop when these exceptions are thrown.
I did that, but it gave me no more information than previously - nothing at all displays in the Output pane.
What could be the cause of this?
UPDATE
Just to update the progress:
Based on Iris Classon's suggestions, I went to Control Panel to see if my app was installed so that I could uninstall it, but it's not in that list.
If I search for the app by typing its name, it tries to start up - its splash screen displays, but goes no further than that.
I went to Program Files\WindowsApps, and when selecting it got, "You don't currently have persimmons to access this folder, click continue to continually get access"
That leads me to "You have been denied permission to access this folder; to gain access to this folder, you will need to use the security tab"
Click the "security tab" link takes me to that tab, and a "For special permissions or advanced settings, click Advanced"
I do so.
That takes me to a Permissions tab, which says, "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object; Click continue to attempt the operation with administrative permissions"
I then selected (one at a time, as that is all it allows):
Trusted Installer : Full control
System: Read, Write, and Execute
System: Full Control
Administrators: Read & Execute
But so far, none of that seems to do anything good.
UPDATE 2
This problem has just "gone away" today; I don't think it was anything I did. I added a UserControl, tried running the app again, and now it runs - I don't see that error message. However, I do see a seemingly unrelated one. (at least I got further).
I just had this problem on a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my laptop. I'm not sure which one of these steps solved it, but until somebody can give you a more exact answer here is something to try as I am sure you are keen on coding.
Only Store Apps run from VS gives that error, other Store apps work fine.
I first of all changed permissions on my WindowsApps folder under Program Files and made sure that I had full access to the folder and sub folders. Restarted the laptop, still no luck.
Then I set up an admin guest account (just something I tend to do for when I need to record tutorials- so not related to trying to solve the error). Out of curiosity I tried to create and run the same Windows Store App and got an error that another user had installed the app. Strange, how was it installed if it gave me the error that it couldn't activate the app on the main account?
I logged back in as the main user and uninstalled the application (which was showing up as installed), and I can now run any Store App from VS without problems.
Not sure this is an answer since I'm not sure what made it work, but give it a try and hopefully somebody else can clear this us up. I'll investigate further, but I'm on a train right now with poor WiFi connection :)
Best of luck!
I had the same scenario, here are the steps I did to resolve:
I tried to create packages, chose not to associate with the store.
It said that the certificate is expired, I created a new test certificate.
I created the test packages successfully.
Tried to run the project from VS and it finally ran.
I believe all of this had to do with the certificate. very frustrating and time wasting issue.
I also had the same problem and following steps fixed it. Hope it will help some one else.
Open the appxmanifest file
Go to "Packaging" tab
Select "Choose Certificate" and select "Pick from certificate store" and select your cetificate and click on ok
I'm trying to port some existing code to WP8 and have come across a problem.
The code i am porting uses a smart pointer thats is defined in comdef.h but for some reason when I try and include comdef.h I get the following error.
comdef.h(25): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'olectl.h'
I understand what the error means and it seems there is no trace of "olectl.h" in the WP8 SDK include paths on my machine. Is anyone else having this problem, I've tried "repairing" my installation of "Visual studio 2012 Express for Windows Phone"
I have found some code that appears to include comdef.h and has gotten around the missing macro problem the link at the end of this post is talking about by not using the macro at all and explicitly using the code that the macro would expand to.
(Here is the code that does what I want to: https://devel.nuclex.org/framework/browser/graphics/Nuclex.Graphics.Native/trunk/Source/Rasterization/Direct3D11/Direct3D11Api.h?rev=1782)
Has anyone else experienced this, or could someone with the SDK installed try including comdef.h somewhere to see if it works for them.
The missing macro link:

Thanks.
Yes, I see this too, so it appears this is "by-design".
Basically if the API isn't listed on MSDN in the list of supported COM/Win32 APIs, then it isn't a supported API on Windows Phone 8. It looks like only the combaseapi.h header is supported.
_com_ptr_t<T> and it's friends aren't on the list...
I'm having trouble getting autocompletions to work for SublimeRope on Windows 8.
First, I noticed that SublimeRope messes up paths when creating a new Rope project on Windows, so I fixed the python_path prefs in .ropeproject > config.py, which are:
prefs.add('python_path', 'C:/Users/brandon/python_virtualenvs/aa/Lib/site-packages')
prefs.add('python_path', 'C:/Users/brandon/django_projects/andrews-app')
I've also tried specifying the packages to auto-import in my project file:
"rope_autoimport_modules": ["django.*"]
When I attempt to run: Rope: Regenerate Global Module Cache, I get an error:
"Missing modules in configuration file"
which Google has not been able to provide an answer for. Is anyone on Windows able to get SublimeRope working? I would really appreciate some help!
I documented how I kind of fixed it here:
https://github.com/JulianEberius/SublimeRope/issues/54
Basically, I added:
sys.path.insert(0, r"C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages")
in sublime_rope.py itself.
Obviously a hack, but it works until the code gets fixed upstream.
