UWP toast notifications under Windows server 2019

Chris Kowalski 1

Hello,
I've been developing an WPF application that uses windows bridge in order to use toast notifications on windows 10 OS. Now i'd like to do the same for windows server 2019 OS, but i find it difficult to make it work. On regular Windows im using the powershell script created for sideloading the app (auto-generated by visual studio), but it's not recognised on windows server (msixbundle package). So my question is as following: is it possible to create WPF application that uses UWP components for windows server 2019, and if so then how am i supposed to approach the problem?

Hi, for the question about side-loading in Windows Server 2019, please go to TechNet forum for help.

Hello, sorry for late response. I will try the approach you've presented me in the following days as my goal is to send toast notifications in WPF app that will run under windows server 2019. Thanks for a kind response.

Hello Richard, actually I am running into a problem with sending Toas notification on Server 2019. We have C# UWP and for Toasts, we are using Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notification in version 6.1.0. When running our app on Azure hosted test agent with Windows 2019 we get this exception:
The notification platform is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x803E0105)

This exception occur on one of these lines:
await ToastNotificationManager.GetDefault().GetToastCollectionManager(AppToastCollectionId).SaveToastCollectionAsync(downloadToastCollection);
_toastNotifierManager = await ToastNotificationManager.GetDefault().GetToastNotifierForToastCollectionIdAsync(DownloadToastCollectionId);

Funny thing is, that this occurs only inside that Azure test host. When I install Windows 2019 locally to Hyper-V the same package with the same installation process just runs fine. And same goes for regular Windows 10 devices, they are just running without that exception. Thanks for any suggestions.
