Hi,

I created a Cross platform App "MaintenanceApp" with Xamarin with Visual 2017 Community.
The solution has a project for Android, iOS and UWP. I didn't change the code yet. Everything is compiling. The iOS project is starting well (I'm using a Virtual Machine with Windows on a Macbook Pro).
But When I want to start the UWP project, I need to deploy it and I have the message below :
"
Quote:
DEP0700 : Registration of the App Failed [0x80073CF0] erreur 0x80070003 : Opening file from location: AppxManifest.xml failed with error: Specified path is not found.
. MaintenanceApp.UWP


Package.appxmanifest is here :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10" xmlns:mp="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/2014/phone/manifest" xmlns:uap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/uap/windows10" IgnorableNamespaces="uap mp">

      </uap:VisualElements>
    </Application>
  </Applications>
  <Capabilities>
    <Capability Name="internetClient" />
  </Capabilities>
</Package>

I checked all images in th AppxManifest.xml but Nothing to solve
I looked for the same issue with Google...

Unfortunately that message is in French, and this is an English language website. Although I suspect it has something to do with the lack of an Application manifest.

Thank you Richard for your answer. Sorry, I changed the message to english.

Well as I guessed the manifest is missing. So what is it about that message that you do not understand?

I don't understand why I can't deploy. I didn't change anything in my code

Opening file from location: AppxManifest.xml failed with error: Specified path is not found..MaintenanceApp.UWP

The message cannot be more clear; the system cannot find a file.

I found the solution. The problem is due to the virtual machine. It's sharing the folders with Windows. Instead trying to deploy on the local machine, I have to deploy on localhost.
