Create App Packages still doesn't generate bundles

[catmanjan]

Describe the bug

I reported this earlier #10683 but it was closed

Now that 1.8.250907003 was released I tried again, but still I get the error

The "WinAppSdkSignAppxPackageBundle" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with <UsingTask> in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64" directory.

Why is this important?

Bundling packages is required for Microsoft Store

Steps to reproduce the bug

Try creating this template project

Create an app package through whichever method

Ensure you have these settings

You won't get a bundle in your output directory, just MSIX files

These were built using the single project packaging templates, and they referenced 1.8.0.

Does this happen with a completely new project? Could you provide a sample project that exhibits this behaviour?

[catmanjan]

@DarranRowe I worked out it was caused by the scaled image files generated by Visual Studio, if I delete those the packages generate fine

[catmanjan]

I mean the visual assets screen, if I click Generate then try to package it fails

[DarranRowe]

Could this be a dupe of microsoft/WindowsAppSDK#5820 ?

yep
