I am facing this issue while creating UWP package :

Error MSB4044 A value was not specified for the task “RemoveDisposableSigningCertificate” for the required “CertificateThumbprint” parameter. C:\Program Files Microsoft Visual Studio 2022CommunityMSBuild Microsoft Visual Studio 17.0AppxPackage Microsoft.AppXPackage.Targets 942

Visual Studio Version:

Version 17.13.0 Preview 2.1

I can Associate My App/game with store. But can't Create a package.

I can Create a Package without Associating(Side loading) my Visual Studios Solution.
