We have a bug with using the packaging layout (with MakeAppx.exe "build" command) where it won't create MSIX packages automatically, we will fix this for the next release. If you are using the MakeAppx.exe "pack" command to create packages then that should work fine for creating MSIX packages.

Hello Andy Liu 

 

Is it fixed now ? I keep encounter a perplexing error message such : 

 

MakeAppx : error: Error info: error 80080204: App manifest validation error: Line 2, Column 2, Reason: A <Resource> element is required for packages targeting OS version 10.0.16299.0 or earlier.

 

What is your take on of this ?
