Error: Registration of the app failed


While trying to deploy an app from Visual Studio, I'm getting an error. I have already set developer mode and also deleted the app package from the packages folder, but it still won't work.

Here's the error message:

Error : DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. Deployment Register operation with target volume C: on Package App_1.0.0.2_x64__m0fsgersa29a0 from: (AppxManifest.xml) failed with error 0x80070002. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues. (0x80073cf9)

Do I need to set anything else?


Solution

  • For me this was caused by being signed in with my Microsoft account in windows instead of the local user account. Logging in as a local user fixed this.
