A few common issues with repackaging could be the app is the app is writing to the working directory. We have the Package Support Framework to help solve problems like this. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/psf/package-support-framework-overview
If that does not solve the problem we can hopefully help you troubleshoot more through the MSIX Tech Community. Feel free to add a follow up here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/msix-packaging-and-tools/bd-p/MSIX-Packaging

Yeah, I just wish there was a little bit more straightforward documentation, with examples of packaging well known applications
Currently I've attempted to package
1. Citrix Worskpace
2. Adobe Acrobat (both new and old)
3. Google Chrome
4. And many more
Citrix and Chrome seems to work, however I wish I knew why it didn't save the profiles I create in Chrome prior to finishing the MSIX setup (as I've understood it should capture all changes the application makes prior to the final step)
Citrix works fine, unless you use it for SSO, even with the correct registry settings imported into the MSIX registry it does not at all function with a Always on VPN client locally, theres been few months since I trialed this out, but it feels like a solution for the developers to originally package their app as MSIX rather than a nice solution for IT personell to repackage app for distribution through Intune
