Can't run app from Store, but could from Visual Studio

Describe the bug

I recently published app to Store, but found out app could not launch. So I try run app from Visual Studio and everything is okay. App is WinUI 3 packaged, C#, desktop type.

@JanRajnoha Here are some instructions on how you can collect a crash dump: https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/blob/main/docs/debugging_crashes.md

@dannyr-git good luck, it’s a nightmare to debug this. For me it was because I was using WebView2 which was broken in unpackaged apps since you couldn’t configure the user data directory (there might be a workaround for that now), but I didn’t see any reference to that in your app

Haha, yes I had to debug quite a few ‘broken for unpackaged’ things so far myself. things like ApplicationData are only available for packaged, etc.

But this is different. This app will work on the box I wrote it on, but no one else’s. I’m pretty sure it is because the actual SDK is installed and not just the runtime environment for Windows Apps.
