Application with WinRT Studio doesn't pass the windows app certification kit

[Miguel Goncalves]

Hello. If I add a reference to syncfusion winrt library, my sample application doesn't pass the Certification Tests. I just added the reference I didn't use any of the controls. The error messages are:

• API HeapCreate in kernel32.dll is not supported for this application type. Syncfusion.XlsIO.WinRT.dll calls this API.

Thank You.

Confirmed....

Same here. :-(

One suggestion would be to separate the XLSIO and DOCIO (which seem to cause the problem) into a new library. We would have two libraries (Syncfusion Controls for Metro and Syncfusion Office Documents for Metro).
Therefore until you solve there issues, we could publish apps to the store that do not need to create office documents (because apparently the issues are all related with xlsio and docio).

Hi Miguel,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

1) We are able to see the problem with XlsIO and DocIO and will have a fix available as soon as possible.

2) In the meantime, please make the following changes to pass certification for other controls

Run Notepad in administrator mode and open this file

C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\10.3.0.64\SDK\SDKManifest.xml

Delete entries for DocIO and XlsIO

<File Reference="Syncfusion.DocIO.WinRT.dll"/>

<File Reference="Syncfusion.XlsIO.WinRT.dll"/>

Save and close the file

3) Open this folder, copy the XlsIO dll and DocIO dll to some other location for backup and delete them from here

C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\10.3.0.64\SDK\References\CommonConfigurationeutral

Now, clean the solution and rebuild it. It should pass certification now.

Please let us know if you still have any problems. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

Stephen

Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Just to confirm, with the current beta version, I can publish and sell an app in the store, if I find that all works as required. Correct?

[Daniel J]

Miguel,

Yes, you can go live with the current beta.

Best regards,

hi Flappy Bird After spending 6 weeks with a Microsoft Support Engineer on this subject (same WACK errors and same GDI error message), and running countless tests on various Windows versions, it's because of a bug in WACK running on Win 11.This is also why you only see the GDI error in the event logs when the App is run via WACK, not when the App is run by itself.

Salut, price of used car in pakistan After discussing this issue for 6 weeks with a Microsoft Support Engineer (identical GDI and WACK issues), and after doing endless tests on many Windows versions, it is caused by a flaw in WACK operating on Win 11.This explains why the GDI problem only appears in the event logs when the App is launched using WACK rather than on its own.
