BuildFailedException: Deployment failed

So I'm trying to build a UWP project in debug mode and I get the following error:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. BuildFailedException: Deployment failed.
3. Output:System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\colel\Documents\UnityProjects\AREngine1\Build_1\build\bin\x64\Debug\AppX\AppxManifest.xml'.
4.    at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
5.    at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath, Boolean checkHost)
6.    at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize)
7.  

I'm pretty sure my UWP sdk is properly installed and if not, I'm not sure how to fix the installation. I see that this has been reported as a known bug in the past, but it was supposedly fixed in 2019.1. Anyone have any ideas that might help me fix this issue?

Thanks

 

I have the same issue that he had. I am relatively new to all of this, so I don't know how to do what your are talking about. I did try to run a build of another project and I got the same error.

 

The problem appears to be that Unity is generating and placing the AppManifest.xml file one level above where it then looks for the file. There is no AppX folder created. And since these are temp files and folders, manually creating the AppX folder, and dragging the manifest into it, does not appear to work. This seems to be a bug.

 

That fix did work. I had to change the minimum sdk as well as the target sdk to make it work.

 

I am still having this issue
I tried everything from switching windows SDK to a minimum but no luck.

I don't know what the problem was but I actually solved it indirectly; I reinstalled the unity Editor and Transferred all the scenes and assets in the new Project I created. You need to create a new project after installing the Editor and then transfer Scenes and Assets to the new project but don't transfer any settings. This solved the problem or it may be a bit of luck. Try yourself to find out.
