Hello, have you tried to press “Refresh” button?

Please try to sign in to Partner Center with browser and check if the sign-in is successful.

https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/home

You can update your VS2022 to the latest version, sign out and sign into your account.

Hello, please close VS and go to Windows Start menu, open the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 as administrator, then run the command: devenv /resetuserdata to clear up the VS cache.

Then, you can sign into your account and try again.

Sorry for that. Could you repair your VS with Visual Studio Installer and try again?

Hello,

we have the same problem, please help us.

We have tried with different accounts including the owner and can't get our apps listed to link. Not too long ago everything worked normally.

We do not know what to do. Please help us.

Thank you very much

Hello, unfortunately we are also experiencing the same error now! We've updated visual studio code to the latest, cleared cache, used vpn, disabled firewall and refreshed a ton of times. Nothing changes. This is a big problem for us, we have to update our app on store. Please help.

We found a solution it's not that easy and you need a certification previously created at your PC

open your partner center select your target app/game and click 'Package Identity'

open your VS solution double click 'Package.appxmanifest'

At packaging tab fill 'Package name' same as Partner Center also fill 'Publisher display name' must same as Partner Center.

Click 'Choose Certificate' button if your device has certification installed previously select the certification file. (I don't know if you don't have a matching certification file I assume it won't work)

And finally, select 'publish' and 'create app packages' and select 'sideloading' click next.. follow menu and create package.(don't forget to set 'Generate app bundle to 'always')

When finished you will have a 'appxbundle' file at your outputlocation upload that file to Partner Center. it should work.

this is one of the best answers, allowed me to catch difference between store and local package name, but it unfortunately didn't solve the issue

I'm not able to even retrieve existing store package ( Publish / Associate App with the Store.. ) - where any current package properties don't even play a role, only my store/Microsoft account -, not to mention any publishing

not able to update exiting already live app on the store - terrible indeed
