I have an app which I am in process of submitting to the store - it compiles and creates an msix file. it is currently pending approval because for some strainge reason the windows manifest defaults to requireing 'runFullTrust' I do not know what that is or why it should be required for my simple app. However it means status is pending. I used to be able to drag and drop a new compilation onto the developer/partner portal website. this no longer works and I cannot update the msix (for a few small issues Ive found) the package is marked 'read only. Is this because it is 'pending' and how can I force an update

    Hello,

    Apps in the store must be certified when they are published. Therefore, you cannot force an update on it.

    According to the Restricted capabilities provided by the Microsoft Store, if your app includes certain restricted permissions, you must provide information declaring the functionality and how to use it.

    If we detect that your packages declare any restricted capabilities, you’ll need to provide info in this section in order to receive approval. For each capability, tell us why your app needs to declare the capability and how it is used. Be sure to provide as much detail as possible to help us understand why your product needs to declare the capability.

    I noticed that you mentioned that your program does not need runfulltrust, this setting is actually the default option for WinUI. If you need partial trust, please refer to the workaround in Why does a .NET MAUI app, for Windows 10, require the "runFullTrust" capability?.

    Best Regards,

    Alec Liu.
