Problem with desktop bridge app packaging

Hello,
When trying to package my desktop app as a UWP app using visual studio, I get the following errors:
GENERATEPROJECTPRIFILE : error : PRI175: 0x80073b0f - Processing Resources failed with error: Duplicate Entry. [C:\Jenkins\appDirectory\AppProject.wapproj]
GENERATEPROJECTPRIFILE : error : PRI278: 0xdef00531 - 'Files/App/defaultgeometryloader.dll' or one if its parents is defined as both resource and scope, which is not allowed. [C:\Jenkins\appDirectory\AppProject.wapproj]
Looking for these errors on the net points me to some xamarin and other .net app issues, but my app is a basic C++ app.
Any clue as to what might be happening?
Thanks
