Windows UWP Deployment

[mcw]

I have been following the instructions in the developer guide for the deployment of Windows UWP app. I have deployed my app on both a Windows 10 Phone and Desktop with the appropriate builds.

You don't mention anything about installing a new build.

I am finding that I cannot install a new build over an existing app. i have to delete the existing app first and then install my new build. This means that I lose my data and it makes testing very time consuming.

This happens with both the phone and desktop builds.

When installing a new build on a Windows 10 phone I get:

Failure reason: Failed to start deployment. Failure text: The provided package is already installed, and reinstallation of the package was blocked. Check the AppXDeployment-Server event log for details. (0x80073cfb)

When installing a new build on the desktop I get:

At C:\Temp\fbe17252-ad37-4e0b-bdfa-233debc9e17e-1479417903578-UWPApp_3.53.1.0_Test\Add-AppDevPackage.ps1:392 char:13

Error: Could not install the app.
Press Enter to continue...:

How can I install a new build without uninstalling the app first?

Thanks

You can use the build hint windows.build.version to increment the build version each time you build.   Default value is 0.0.

So first build do

windows.build.version=1.0

Next time

windows.build.versioln=2.0

or

windows.build.version=1.1

etc...

The version just can't be the same as the existing one you have installed.

This build version is effectively appended to the end of your app's actual version.
