Strange windows phone app crashes only from the store

I am trying to update a 7.1 app from the store. For some reason it crashes only when installed from the store and only on 7.1 or 7.8 devices. My Lumia 920 with the latest updates works fine. The app runs fine if installed from VS 2010 or VS 2012. Of course all emulators worked fine. I put a Messagebox at Application_UnhandledException and it displayed this:

The type 'MyApp.MainPage', specified in the x:Class of '/MainPage.xaml' could not be found in any loaded assembly.

Of course the MainPage class is there.

The app uses GPS and bing map and has capabilities:

ID_CAP_LOCATION
ID_CAP_NETWORKING

Can anyone shed some light on this?

I have just solved a similar problem where I had this error message when running from Visual Studio on my phone but not in an emulator. My problem was that I had different versions of the Microsoft.Live Assemblies in my 'main' app and the Assembly which contained the 'MainPage.xaml'.

I had a weird issue where my app worked differently from the store than on my device and the emulator. In my case it was because of trial mode. Apps run as though they are purchased when deployed to the emulator or device. It worked on my device from the store too, but that's because I bought it. Any other device which had not bought it ran in trial mode, and that's why it worked differently. I am betting that is why you are experiencing this crash. If it is not then we'll need more information.
