Windows Store App Certification Fails after upgrading Microsoft.UI.XAML to v2.5.0

[under3415]

Hi
I am using Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Lottie v.6.1.0 and Microsoft.UI.Xaml.

After I updated Microsoft.UI.Xaml from 2.5.0-prerelease201202003 to the v.2.5.0 (release) the app got rejected from the store with the following errors. This was the only change to the app, was all good with pre-release UI.Xaml

FAILED
General metadata correctness

Hi @under3415,

Have you tried this: #214 (comment)?

[under3415]

Forgot about that one, I'll try that, thanks! The issue was fixed in pre-release, but resurfaced in v2.5.0.
BTW I've also logged it here and they seem to know the root cause: microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#3298

Hi @under3415,

Have you tried this: #214 (comment)?

Hi
Yep that worked! Thanks

[under3415]

Actually, the workaround didn't work. It was accepted for a "test flight", but not for a production release.
So below workaround did not work.

Hi @under3415,

We are still investigating the issue, apologies for the wait. Are you able to use the pre-release version until there is a fix?

[under3415]

Hi
Thanks for the update!

Yes, I am using Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Lottie 7.0.0-preview4 with Microsoft.UI.Xaml 2.5.0-prerelease.201202003 for now. That is working and being accepted by the store.

Regards

I have installed the latest Microsoft.UI.Xaml v.2.6.0-prerelease210129001 and that works with Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI v7.0.0-preview4

[nishitha-burman]

@under3415 thank you for the update and glad it works! I will go ahead and close this issue. Please reopen this issue if other problems come up. Thank you!

@nishitha-burman can you please re-open this issue, I don't have permissions?

Hi @under3415,

Thank you for reaching out. We will take a look.

Hi,
Another RTM release, another store rejection!

I have updated Microrsoft.UI.Xaml to 2.6.0 and my app got rejected by the store (in test flight). There were no other changes. Unfortunately, the store no longer gives any details, just says "failed certification". There is no report :-(

Cert App on PC does not detect any issues.

Help please!

Hi @under3415,

Thank you for reaching out! What version of Lottie-Windows are you using?
