I have a active app on the Windows Store. I want to distribute this app via a MDM system (MobileIron).

My store appxmanifest looks like this:

<Identity Name="MyApp" Publisher="CN=<Publisher-GUID>" Version="1000.2000.300.4001"/> <mp:PhoneIdentity PhoneProductId="<PhoneProductId>" PhonePublisherId="<Publisher-GUID>"/>

My sideloading appxmanifest looks like this:

<Identity Name="MyApp" Publisher="OID.0.9.1234.21301800.500.5.3=2272904, CN=My Company, OU=My Company" Version="1000.2000.300.4001"/> <mp:PhoneIdentity PhoneProductId="<PhoneProductId>" PhonePublisherId="<Publisher-GUID>"/>

If I now use the Microsoft Powershell script BuildMDILAPPX.ps1 i get a unknown error:

Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhoneApp\v8.1\Tools\MDILXAPCompile\BuildMDILAPPX.ps1" -appxfilename ./MyApp.WP81_1000.2000.300.4001_arm.appxbundle -pfxfilename C:\SigningCert\symantec.pfx -password pw

UnPack the Appx

MakeAppx successfully extracted ./MyApp.WP81_1000.2000.300.4001_arm.appxbundle to C:\temp\APPXInput\MyApp.WP81_1606.3100.711.1567_arm.

Optimize Main Appx (MyApp.WP81_1000.2000.300.4001_ARM.appx) ...

EXITING SCRIPT

If I change the productid on my sideloading appxmanifest to a pseudo value:

<Identity Name="MyApp" Publisher="OID.0.9.1234.21301800.500.5.3=2272904, CN=My Company, OU=My Company" Version="1000.2000.300.4001"/> <mp:PhoneIdentity PhoneProductId="<Publisher-GUID>" PhonePublisherId="<Publisher-GUID>"/>

The PS script successfully finishs. Deploying to MobileIron also works out, but if installing on a device I get a error

Installation failed. This app might already be installed

So my question is what value is expected on PhoneProductId on a sideloading manifest. How can I debug which error occurs on the BuildMDILAPPX.ps1? How can I see further log details if installation fails on a WP8.1 device?

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated!
