Cannot install UWP app from hockey app

Question

I'm doing an app using Xamarin.Forms and I've already deployed the Android and iOS version to HockeyApp but I have a problem with the UWP (Windows 10 version)...

These are the steps I do:

• Right click on my UWP project
• Select "Store" option
• Select "Create app packages"
• A window pops and I select "No" and click "Next"
• Then I only select the ARM configuration
• Click "Next"

My package has been created and I drag n drop the .appxbundle file to hockeyapp.

Once the package is uploaded, I start my Windows 10 Mobile emulator and try to install it... I download it from HockeyApp and when I install it, nothing happens...

Do you have any idea where this problem comes from?

I'm using Visual Studio 2015.

Answer 1

Windows 10 mobile emulator not supported ARM, only x86/x64. You need the real device for test ARM package.

Answer 2

I was experiencing exactly the same, but I've managed to fix it. Here's what I've done:

1. I associated the app with Store in Visual Studio
2. I installed Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary update (OS Build: 10.0.14383.953), since my app was targeting Anniversary Update.
3. I installed the certificate which was included in the .ZIP file next to the .appxbudnle

Then I run the .appxbundle and clicked install. The installer exited without any message, just like before, but after a minute or so the app appeared in the installed apps on my Microsoft Lumia 650.
