This project can run normally in Debug or Release mode, but it cannot be opened in the exe after publish. I have tried to publish other unpackaged projects, and all of them were successfully run after publish. Only my project cannot be opened normally after release.

Here's my project's csproj code:

This project needs DLLReference folder in solution folder:
DLLReference.zip

I have solved this problem, this problem is due to the wrong csproj file setting, you need to delete the:

    <RuntimeIdentifiers Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetFrameworkVersion('$(TargetFramework)')) &gt;= 8">win-x86;win-x64;win-arm64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
    <RuntimeIdentifiers Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetFrameworkVersion('$(TargetFramework)')) &lt; 8">win10-x86;win10-x64;win10-arm64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
    <WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.22621.38</WindowsSdkPackageVersion>
    <PublishProfile>win-$(Platform).pubxml</PublishProfile>

And add

    <RuntimeIdentifiers>win-x86;win-x64;win-arm64</RuntimeIdentifiers>

The final csproj may looks like this:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>…

i think this is because of PublishTrim

<PublishTrimmed Condition="'$(Configuration)' != 'Debug'">True</PublishTrimmed>
change to False and test:

<PublishTrimmed Condition="'$(Configuration)' != 'Debug'">False</PublishTrimmed>

@ghost1372 Hi, I have tired to change the PublishTrim from True to False

  <!-- Publish Properties -->
  <PropertyGroup>
    <PublishReadyToRun Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">False</PublishReadyToRun>
    <PublishReadyToRun Condition="'$(Configuration)' != 'Debug'">False</PublishReadyToRun>
    <PublishTrimmed Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">False</PublishTrimmed>
    <PublishTrimmed Condition="'$(Configuration)' != 'Debug'">False</PublishTrimmed>
  </PropertyGroup>

But it still cannot be opened after publish

    <WindowsAppSDKSelfContained>true</WindowsAppSDKSelfContained>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
  </PropertyGroup>

Then create new publish profile, and delete all of the bin and obj folder in every project in your solution, open your visual studio, and start publish, it will run normally
