WACK fails when UWP solution includes Windows Runtime Component (C#)

My UWP-app (C++ XAML/DirectX) is using Windows Runtime Component (C#) (*)

Windows App Cert Kits "Supported API Test" fails with error (**) that suggests i should activate .net native. If that is the case how do i can compile WRC to native? WRC project don't have any options involving .net native and my project is C++ app which is also lacks any options regarding .net native.

Note:

  • My app works, including functionality by WRC.
  • Without WRC my app passes WACK.

(*) WRC that i use is https://www.nuget.org/packages/NotificationsExtensions.Win10/

(**) Error that i got:

  • API ExecuteAssembly in uwphost.dll is not supported for this application type. UWPShim.exe calls this API.
  • API DllGetActivationFactory in uwphost.dll is not supported for this application type. UWPShim.exe has an export that forwards to this API.
  • API OpenSemaphore in api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-1-0.dll is not supported for this application type. System.Threading.dll calls this API.
  • API CreateSemaphore in api-ms-win-core-kernel32-legacy-l1-1-0.dll is not supported for this application type. System.Threading.dll calls this API.

Edit: I use Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 with latest Windows 10 SDK (version number is 10.0.14393.33)

Solution

  • It is actually supported scenario - you can publish such apps to Windows Store just fine and error is just a bug on the WACK part and can be ignored.
