I'm experiencing the Registration of the app failed. (0x80073cf6) error.

What I've tried so far:

  • Delete the package in AppData (I can't find it anymore there, the package family name has been changed to my associated store listing).

  • Repair Visual Studio

  • Acquire developer license

  • Make a new project (that works, for the 1st time, after that same error).

It happens on my phone (950XL, developer unlocked) and on my machine.

I can't debug my app in anyway now.

I'm on Update 2 of VS 2015

c#
visual-studio
uwp

In the question, the project-type is not specified, but I think, it can be the same problem, I have...
I have installed VS2015 Update 3 RC and created a Xamarin.Forms shared project from template (without any changes in the project).
Same error for UWP- and Windows 8.1 projects, where Windows Phone 8.1 works in the emulator.
I store my project on a network-drive (what never was a problem with earlier .forms-projects, that have not included UWP- and Windows 8.1-projects). I have changed the Output path from \bin\debug\ (=sub-directory of the project folder on the network drive) to C:\Temp\Debug and... the error has gone.
So.. it seems as (at least Xamarin-) UWP- and Windows8.1-projects have a problem, when the output-directory points to a network drive.
This is not a final solution for projects on a network-drive, but a workaround to be able to develop until the real problem can be solved (I hope for some changes in VS or a clear advice, what to change regarding the rights of the network drive to solve the problem from MS).

 <Properties>
    <DisplayName>Name</DisplayName>
    <PublisherDisplayName>Other Name</PublisherDisplayName>
<Logo>Assets\StoreLogo.png</Logo>

In the app manifest file, change the "Name" to anything else. And it'll work. That is it.
