Xamarin UWP App Store Submission gives error code 1201

Question

I am trying to submit a UWP Xamarin Forms app to the Windows store. Everything checks out fine locally. I pass the WACK test (Windows Application Certification Kit) both locally as well as during submission. But during the submission process, I get a cryptic 1201 without any additional information. How can I get additional details to fix this issue.

Looking at some of the posts online, I removed ARM and only submitted an x64 bundle. That seemed to work fine the first time. But when I try and update the submission, I am getting error 1201.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

BTW, I am using VS2019, Xamarin Forms 5.0.0.2083

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The issue was not on my end but more to do with the idiosyncrasies of submission process in the Windows Store. I still get sporadic issues but I have resolved it with a combination of the following compiler flags:

1. Setting the Use64BitCompiler msbuild property to avoid memory issues
2. true
3. Ensuring that the release build is clean and working

I will update this answer as I learn more in my subsequent submissions.
