UWP app WACK test fails & outputs debug irrespective of chosen settings

Question

I am trying to create a package of my UWP app and put it through a WACK test. Windows App Certification Kit - Test Results is FAIL. I think it's because VS2015 is outputting a debug build irrespective of the settings i've chosen. Has anyone come across this problem before? Is visual studio ignoring my settings, or does my project include a library that's not going to pass WACK?

'Release' is selected both in the build menu and in Output Package dialogue.

JSON.net and EF7 only, both are UWP compatiable. Tasks and DataAccess are a background task and a class library.

Answer 1

I am now using VS2015 preview 2 and everything is building with it just fine. I get no errors in the WACK. Microsoft just decided to release .net native a year before it could actually compile things properly.

i also have the same issue and it is caused due to EntityFreamework.Commands reference. When you building the code for store package or release mode just remove all references of EntityFramework.commands by uninstalling from nuget. that should help to get rid of those errors. for more information please go here. let me know how it went.. all the best.
