How can I use WICD to create a PPKG that works with my FFU?

I have followed the Windows 10 IoT Core steps for creating an FFU image and that applies.

In order to speed development, I would like to not have to create a new FFU each time I update the UWP application.

I have tried to use WICD to create a provisioning package. This package does attempt to be installed, but seems to fail.

Where can I find the logs for the applying of the provisioning package?

Where can I find the logs from bootup where the application is not starting?

    You can check for success/failure of the settings in your package in the “Provisioning-Diagnostics-Provider” Admin log in Event Viewer.
    Please refer to the following Microsoft document for help.

    This is not an answer and the answer from @Teemo Tang above did not solve my problem, but it got me slightly closer. It did cause me to look for which different logs were changing and look for important changes. I see the provisioning package is attempting to be applied, but in the AppxDeploymentServer/Operational log I see:

    TimeCreated : 3/17/2021 3:57:58 AM
    Message : AppX Deployment operation failed for package with error 0x80073CF0. The specific error text for this failure is: error 0x8007000D: Opening the package from location
    Daikin.SystemManager.IoTCoreShell_1.0.37.9581_x64_bundle.msixbundle failed.
    TimeCreated : 3/17/2021 3:57:58 AM

    Message : error 0x8007000D: Opening the package from location Daikin.SystemManager.IoTCoreShell_1.0.37.9581_x64_bundle.msixbundle failed.

    Hopefully later today I will have some more time to look into what is causing this failure. For now, I at least know the provisioning package is attempting to be applied, but the APPX inside appears to be messed up in some way.
