The commit that addresses the selection of visual assets (https:///MICROSOFT-XBOX-ATG/MICROSOFT_UWP_UNREAL/commit/7c959fef046df7001450c290498870658a83f0c9) allows you to select .png images in the Project Settings->Platforms->UWP page, but I am still getting the same errors during packaging (virtually identical to the errors and Sentinel are experiencing).

It seems the author of the previously mentioned commit has added another one - https:///MICROSOFT-XBOX-ATG/MICROSOFT_UWP_UNREAL/commit/f1741464de9b82f1c1f72f7ce00cf059fdde8dd5 .

I will try the new commit and update this post accordingly.

*Edit: With the newest commit, you can now select the visual assets properly. Unfortunately I’m still getting an error with makepri.exe:

“MainFrameActions: Packaging (UWP (x64-64bit)): UnrealBuildTool: MakePri: error 0x80080204: Appx manifest not found or is invalid. Please ensure well-formed manifest file is present. Or specify an index name with /in switch.”

Perhaps I have the project configured incorrectly. I will see if I can get around this. So close to packaging my UE4 project to UWP!

The new commit fixes the issues to be sure. There are two things to keep in mind though. on the github said that on the description page you should fill in the company name with “CN=” prefixed to the company name.
As an example “CN=Nexymedia” without the quotes of course. The second thing to do is on the UWP page. Change the colors to anything other than the default colors.

Having done this the only error that I get when building from VS is the one below. I included the output from my UWP64 packaging attempt below that.
