I'm trying to use WinApp driver for testing some Windows 10 UWP applications - Mail & Edge.
When I start session with app settings, I got error from driver:

 Result StackTrace:

 Result Message:    System.InvalidOperationException : This app does not support the contract specified or is not installed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80270254) 

This is a part of my test, the error occurs on the last line:

        DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App"); // Mail
        //appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", "Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App"); //Edge
        appCapabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
        session = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"),

The same code with different applications works fine (for example with Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App)

Solved:
Windows 10 UWP apps has different app id schema for a different applications. For example, suffix !App works for Calculator & Photos, but you may need to use other for different apps:
for Mail: Microsoft.WindowsCommunicationsApps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.WindowsLive.Mail
for Edge: Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge

The full list of product IDs in Windows 10 you can find here:
