fix(store): pin msstore-cli, whose v0.4.0 cancels every upload instantly - #394
Merged
Conversation
v1.9.6's Store submission failed three times in a row, always at the same place: submission created, bundle prepared, then "Uploading Bundle to Azure blob: 0%" and "Error while uploading the application package." ~22 s later. Same appx (335 MB, byte-for-byte the size that shipped for 1.9.5), same product, same command -- and the identical submission had succeeded on 2026-08-15. `-v` is what made it diagnosable, so it stays: Retry failed after 6 tries. The operation was cancelled because it exceeded the configured timeout of 0:00:00. Network timeout can be adjusted in ClientOptions.Retry.NetworkTimeout. NetworkTimeout is ZERO, so every request is cancelled the instant it starts; six instant retries is the whole 22 seconds. Nothing was ever sent, which is why there is no HTTP status anywhere in the failure. The variable is the CLI, not us: `microsoft/microsoft-store-apppublisher` defaults to `version: latest`, and msstore-cli v0.4.0 was published 2026-08-18T09:09Z -- the first release since v0.3.9 in January, and hours before the first failure. The 15 August success ran v0.3.9. So pin v0.3.9 in both places that configure the CLI: publish-msstore.yml and build.yml's publish-msstore job. Pinning one would have left the release path broken while the retry path worked, which is the confusing half-fix.

CodeRabbit caught a half-fix, and it is exactly the one this PR's own commit message warns about for the pin: the CLI version got pinned in both call sites, but `-v` only went onto publish-msstore.yml. So the retry path would explain an upload failure and the RELEASE path -- the one that actually runs on a tag, and the one that failed for v1.9.6 -- would still print the bare "Error while uploading the application package." with nothing to act on. Both invocations now carry it.
