Debugging MS Store – Appxsym removed?
The Insights health report for my Win32 app only reports Unknown failure:
So to resolve, I first generated debug symbols as a .pdb file using /DEBUG and /Zi
Then configured the MSIX generator to include symbols:
However symbols did not seem to be included yet.
Symbols were successfully included after following instructions in this Stackoverflow discussion to edit Microsoft.AppxPackage.Targets, setting AppxPackageIncludePrivateSymbols to true.
I confirmed the newly generated .msixbundle does indeed include a .appxsym file, which contains the .pdb debug symbols.
After submitting to the Partner Dashboard for distribution, I install the new version from the MS Store and cannot locate the .pdb file. And the failure reports for the new version still only report “Unknown”
How can I receive detailed crash reports for the app?
Thanks
