MSBuild flags to build for WindowsStore / UWP

Question

Two days of research gave me no results. I want to configure a conanfile to build an existing .sln for UWP / WindowsStore, to make sure everything is allowed.

Here's an MSBuild part of the conanfile.py

class LibConan(ConanFile):
  def build(self)
    msbuild = MSBuild(self)
    msbuild.build(
      'library.sln',
      targets=['liblibrary'],
      platforms={'x86': 'Win32', 'x86_64': 'x64'},
      toolset=self.settings.compiler.toolset,
      use_env=False)

Where and what arguments/options should I put?

NOTES

The existing project doesn't provide CMakeLists.txt
The .sln (library) is a third-party library, hence not applicable to change the .sln or .vcxproj files

You should pass 'WindowsStore' as settings.os: https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/config_files/settings.yml.html — uilianries, May 20 '20 at 11:40
Yes, https://github.com/conan-io/conan/blob/918d198c586caa93d09ea869f70ac9a78e3d0ca3/conans/client/tools/win.py#L451 — uilianries, May 20 '20 at 13:23
@uilianries Thanks, man. It means a lot to me. I spend so many hours trying to figure out this. Could you please make an answer so that I could accept it? — arsdever, May 20 '20 at 13:42

The WindowsStore is considered a settings.os in Conan. Thus, you need to configure your settings for such profile:

conan create . -s os=WindowsStore

Or, you can create a new Conan profile with such os.
