Quote:
Supported APIs
· Error Found: The supported APIs test detected the following errors:
o API IsTokenRestricted in advapi32.dll is not supported for this application type. sni.dll calls this API.
· Impact if not fixed: Using an API that is not part of the Windows SDK for Microsoft Store apps violates the Microsoft Store certification requirements.
· How to fix: Review the error messages to identify the API that is not part of the Windows SDK for Microsoft Store apps. Please note, apps that are built in a debug configuration or without .NET Native enabled (where applicable) can fail this test as these environments may pull in unsupported APIs. Retest your app in a release configuration, and with .NET Native enabled if applicable. See the link below for more information:
Alternatives to Windows APIs in Microsoft Store apps.

What I have tried:

Most issues found for this relate to

Microsoft.Data.SqlClient

e.g.Package causes a new UWP app to fail Windows App Certification for Deployment to Microsoft Store · Issue #356 · dotnet/SqlClient · GitHub[^]

The focus sni.dll is the main dll refered to.

A search of all packages don't make any references to these Dlls

Loopback flags were indicated as a possible issue. After deactivation, tests still failed.

One of the following references was the real culprit:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Client
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core
Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory

There were references to one of these that I was not using and part of a cleanup.

I believe that it is:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Client
