MSIX package not accepted at Partner Center
MicrosoftMipumi to understand better your scenario, are you trying to publish it on Partner Center so that people can download the application from the public Store or from the Store for Business, correct?
When do you get this error? In the section where you are required to upload your package?
In theory, what should happen is that, when you upload an application which uses a restricted capability (like runFullTrust, in this case), Partner Center will trigger a new field, in which you can specify the reason why you're requesting such a capability. In case of applications packaged as MSIX, it's usually enough to specify that it's a Win32 application to get approval, since in this scenario the runFullTrust capability is required.
If you aren't experiencing this behavior, can you please share with me your Publisher Id? I will take a look to understand what's going on.
We are actually trying out how to publish a game app to the public store.
The arror about the authorization for runFullTrust is immediately appearing in the package upload section of a product right after the upload of the msix package is finished.
There is no way of removing the runFullTrust capability when using the MSIX packaging tool:
- no UI checkbox available for this capability
- manifest file is being overwritten after capability manually removed from there
I haven't found a field where I could write a reason why we need this capability. However the error prevents us from submitting in general bacause the package is not being accepted.
Our developer IDs are:
Seller ID 55336000
Windows publisher ID CN=DD4FE69E-28E9-49FF-9F80-EC9078D1BA52

It has been a while since I added a new product using MSIX, but I recall there being a field at the bottom of the submission form where you could add a note to the reviewers. I found it necessary to add in an explanation that it is an MSIX package. You shouldn't need more than that explanation unless you add in additional capabilities, such as for elevation.
I found that often the initial submission is rejected anyway but following back against that rejection can be successful as they pay more attention. Subsequent updates to the products seem to go very smoothly once you get through the process once.

Can you send me a screenshot of the error you're seeing in partner center related to the capability? Feel free to send it over by mail, my address is my name.surname@microsoft.com (replace name.surname with matteo.pagani).
Thanks!
