I am unable to launch my built .appx version of my app, which I need to run to check for a bug which prevents the app from working after I submited it to microsoft for store review (and it got denied, because core functionality of the app did not work for them for some reason) The built .exe and .msi installers work just fine, and let me use my app normally. But the appx version does not let me install it for some reason, as the button is greyed out in the install window when I try to run it? This makes it impossible for me to debug the issue, unless I ask the review team over at microsoft to send me their logs (which I don't know how to do in a built project) Am I missing something here?

anyone?

You can't install the .appx app on your machine, you have to submit it to the store. You could submit it as a Package Flight submission if you want to test your feature.
It will still go through the review process, but it is not as thorough as the regular release submission.

Thank you! The issue is that core functionality of my app does not work in the appx version for some reason (at least according microsoft), so the app is getting rejected during the review every time. I presume it's because something went wrong during appx building on my end?
I'll test the package flight suggestion!

Update: It sadly seems like I'm not able to create a package flight, since it requires that at least 1 submission of the app has passed certification before it lets me create one? 🤔
or maybe I've missed something, where can I find the package flights tab exactly?

Update #2: So I've received another answer from microsoft review, and they're telling me my app is returning an "Access is denied" error. My app is a simple video compression app, and it fails during compression with ffmpeg for some reason. Any idea why that would be? It runs perfectly fine in any environments I've got on own machines...

You will find the package flight just a couple of rows below where you create your normal submission, but you might be correct that this will first be shown after you have had a successful submission.
