"FAILED: run program complete" Can't run game (Gamemaker 2)

Question

_{Wednesday, April 18, 2018 5:55 PM}

So I've been looking at a lot of articles on how to do this and eventually i got everything set up, downloaded, information from and on devices gathered, and it didn't work. Then it told me to troubleshoot through visual studios (installed 2017). So i created and ran a debug + release of every project available on the windows universal tab and i got my game to run on UWP.

So after that i get off, go to work, come back and bam it doesn't work anymore. So the whole idea was to put this game on xbox creators, and i started working on that as well as trying to figure out the problem. Meaning, the PFX key was changed to a code-signed version from visual studios off of the Microsoft developer. Other than that, i don't know why my game won't run on UWP at all. It starts working in the directory of the localhost, and this is the final piece of the code:

System.Exception: unable to install app on device
   at Igor.WinUWPBuilder.DoInstall(String packageFullName, String appx_path, String certificate_path)
   at Igor.WinUWPBuilder.BuildWindowsUAPProject(String package_name, String _targetfile, Boolean _final)
   at Igor.WinUWPBuilder.Run()
Igor complete.

FAILED: Run Program Complete

Now, obviously I'm not able to install the app but i can't tell why. I'm stumped. Anyway, I know this is ran in Gamemaker but their forum isn't all helpful. The articles they have are close to helpful but not detailed enough. Plus i would have thought this would be a thing on visual studios end just cause i was able to get it working by trouble shooting the blank apps. But, done rambling, any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Hi dhood55,

Thank you for posting on our forum, as this issue is not an Xbox Live related issue we are going to move it to a more appropriate forum.

Thank You,

Brett

Have you read Failure to install Developer Mode package?

So please make sure you've enabled developer mode

This happened to me when I created a new empty object, make sure you don't have any of them, and heck your code for errors.
