Electron-builder: AppX build fails

[clusterberries]

• Version: 17.1.1

• Target: appx

Hi! I'm trying to build application with target 'appx', but I faced with error during compilation.
Build for Windows with target nsis and for MacOS runs without issues.
Does anybody else have the same problem?

@clusterberries Were you able to find a solution?

[clusterberries]

@navdeepsinghkhalsa unfortunately no

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Could this issue be caused because the target needs more information while packaging to appx since all app information is stored inside?

[develar]

I am really sorry that this stupid bug was not fixed so long. CI check enabled to check Appx.
