Uploading packages to Windows Store for UWP apps

I have developed a UWP application using Visual Studio 2019 and Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2 and Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2. After creating the app packages for Windows Store, the folder contains the below files:

  1. Add-AppDevPackage.resources(Folder)
  2. Dependencies(Folder)
  3. Add-AppDevPackage.ps1
  4. XYZ_1.0.0.0_x64.appxsym
  5. XYZ_1.0.0.0_x64.cer
  6. XYZ_1.0.0.0_x64.msixbundle
  7. Install.ps1

The app has also undergone Windows App Certification Kit Test and has passed all the test cases. When I try submitting the app packages(either the .msixbundle file or the way mentioned here, I get the following error:

Package acceptance validation error: You cannot submit pre-compiled .NET Native packages. Please upload the Microsoft Store appxupload file and try again.

I also tried the way explained here and here but failed utterly.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

If you plan to create a package submitted to the Microsoft Store, you need to do the following steps:

  1. Have a developer account
  2. Create an application in the Partner Center Imgur
  3. Associate your project with your application in Visual Studio, a certificate will be generated after the association (Publish -> Associate App with the Store...) Imgur
  4. After the binding is completed, there will be a new option when packaging. Please select the package required to create the Microsoft Store. After the packaging is completed, a .appxupload(or .msixupload) file will be generated and you can upload it Imgur

Best regards.
