In case you missed it, I spoke this year at DevReach 2020. DevReach is Europe’s Premier Developer Conference that takes place every year in Sofia, Bulgaria. This year’s conference was online only, but was still a lot of fun.

In my session, I show you how to write GitHub Actions workflows for a full CI/CD experience that automatically builds and releases your Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS and UWP apps.

My session starts at 53:22 and I go until 1:36:12

I have an open source UWP project that relies on the Ad SDK and Engagement SDK to be installed to Visual Studio. This normally isn’t a problem, because you can just run the MSI on your PC (see installation instructions here and here ).

I decided to move the project into DevOps so that I get some of that CI/CD goodness to build and publish new releases automatically to the Microsoft Store. However, there was a problem, when trying to build the project in a DevOps build pipeline, you’ll get the following error:
