    Hello. I built .appxupload file to upload to Windows Store. After it i run Windows App Cert Kit and got an error:

    API FormatMessage in
    • api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.dll
    is not supported for this application type. System.Diagnostics.Tracing.dll calls this API.

    How to fix it? I'am using Unity 5.5.1f1 Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 .

    Is .NET Native enabled in project settings? That error suggests it isn't.

    I am building appxupload file using command:

    "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" %~dp0\DNL.sln /p:platform="x86" /p:Configuration="Master" /p:UapAppxPackageBuildMode=StoreUpload

    So.. yes : UapAppxPackageBuildMode=StoreUpload

    Could you please post screenshots with checkboxes in Visual Studio properties i need to select to build properly?

    The checkbox you pointed the arrow to in your VS screenshot has to be checked ("Compile with .NET Native toolchain").

    Does it work if you don't specify "/p:UapAppxPackageBuildMode=StoreUpload"?

    I don't think you're supposed to run .appxupload through WACK locally. It's meant for packages not built for store submission.

    Yes, you are right: without "/p:UapAppxPackageBuildMode=StoreUpload" appx-file passed localy certification successfully. So .. what does it mean: my file built in with "/p:UapAppxPackageBuildMode=StoreUpload" will pass successfully certification in the Store after uploading?

    You are right again. I uploaded "*.appxupload" - files to Windows Store that locally did not pass certification, and in the Windows Store they passed certification successfully. Thank you!

    Using Unity 5.5 , previous updates used Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and passed store certification without problems.

    Switched to Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and got the same message from Windows Store

    Error Found: The supported APIs test detected the following errors:
    • API FormatMessage in api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.dll is not supported for this application type. System.Diagnostics.Tracing.dll calls this API.
    Using the local Windows App Cert Kit (version 10.0.14393.795) the test passed successfully.

    Seems that some others are having similar issue too.

    Compile with .NET Native tool chain was checked in the Master Build Configuration.

    Another app made with Unity 5.5 + Visual Studio 2017 Community just passed the certification so this hopefully was just some temporary bug on certification process or something :)

    Are you getting this locally or when submitting to the store?

    Local App Cert Kit passed all the tests, error found when submitted to the store. Received reply from Microsoft support.

    "As it turns out, this is a known issue. Moving forward, please attempt to submit the app again as we believe it should now pass." . So have to try my luck again :).

    It seems this is not solved yet (or is there a Workaround?). Our app passes all tests of the Local App Cert Kit and then Fails with the above error message when submitted to the store. We are using VS 2017 community. .NET native is enabled in the used master configuration.

    Can you attach full report of what store certification report said?

    Error Found: The supported APIs test detected the following errors:
    • API FormatMessage in api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.dll is not supported for this application type. System.Diagnostics.Tracing.dll calls this API.
    • Impact if not fixed: Using an API that is not part of the Windows SDK for Windows Store apps violates the Windows Store certification requirements.
    • How to fix: Review the error messages to identify the API that is not part of the Windows SDK for Windows Store apps. Please note, apps that are built in a debug configuration or without .NET Native enabled (where applicable) can fail this test as these environments may pull in unsupported APIs. Retest your app in a release configuration, and with .NET Native enabled if applicable. See the link below for more information:

    I have tried already 2 times. Even if this matches einsteins definition of insanity ("doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results")? No success.....

    I would try posting this on Microsoft's forums... It's an issue with their tools and it's complaining about their DLL. There's not much we can do here.

    I created a Microsoft support ticket. After some time they wrote me, that the issue is resolved and my app was accepted.
