Visual Studio 2017 and Windows 10 SDK 10.0.15063 _scale-100.appx not found

Question

I just updated to Windows 10 SDK 10.0.15063 and running into a problem creating app packages for the Windows Store. It seems to complete the x86 and x64 portion, but fails for the ARM portion:

Error: File 'C:\somepath\bin\ARM\Release\App_1.1.218.0_scale-100.appx' not found.

Using Visual Studio 2017 Community.

Not even sure where to begin on how to fix this. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I copied the temporary workaround from the link Carlo Mendoza provided:

1. Download and extract storepackageworkaround.zip to any location.
2. Close all instances of Visual Studio.
3. Open the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2017 in Administrator mode.
4. In the command prompt, navigate to the location where you extracted these files.
5. Run Apply.cmd.
