Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

@SmilingMoon You could try to add <Target Name="ResolvePackageDependenciesForBuild" /> this into the project file of the packaging project.

Like this:

  <ItemGroup>  
    <ProjectReference Include="..\TestUWP\TestUWP.csproj" />  
  </ItemGroup>  
  <Target Name="ResolvePackageDependenciesForBuild" />  
</Project>  

After adding this, I could run your sample correctly without exceptions.

Thank you.
