Command failed winCodeSign makepri.exe (since 20.33.1)

• Version: 20.33.1 thru 20.38.5 (It was working up to 20.32.0)

• Target: AppX

Starting in version 20.33.1, our appx build fails with this error:

  • building        target=AppX arch=ia32 file=release\Simplenote-win-1.3.4-ia32.appx
Error: Exit code: 2148008452. Command failed: C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\electron-builder\Cache\winCodeSign\winCodeSign-2.4.0\windows-10\ia32\makepri.exe new /Overwrite /Manifest C:\projects\simplenote-electron\release\__appx-ia32\AppxManifest.xml /ProjectRoot C:\projects\simplenote-electron\release\__appx-ia32\appx /ConfigXml C:\projects\simplenote-electron\node_modules\app-builder-lib\templates\appx\priconfig.xml /OutputFile C:\projects\simplenote-electron\release\__appx-ia32\resources.pri

All of our other targets (dmg, nsis, linux, and also unsigned appx) are unaffected.

Do you have any idea what may be causing this? I'm wondering if it's related to this commit → 76fdd42

I think that error code means that the manifest is invalid: "The Appx package's manifest is invalid"

If this is to be trusted: https://www.hresult.info/FACILITY_WINDOWS/0x80080204

This would indicated the error is that the manifest is not valid XML "APPX_E_INVALID_MANIFEST": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/appxpackaging/nf-appxpackaging-iappxfactory-createmanifestreader
