Application works if installed from PC, but crashes if installed from store (WinPhone 7.5)

Question

I have a project that runs on Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.5.

It works fine on 8 devices in all cases, but on Windows Phone 7.5 it crashes on startup with following message (only if installed from store):

If the application is built on PC and uploaded to device it works fine. I tried numerous things but nothing helped.

Answer 1

Well, my assumption is that your XAP file does not contains all the DLLs needed. Make sure the references to those DLLs indicate CopyLocal=True. Also it would be nice if you can share the beta link to check your stack traces.

P.S. this may help:

Answer 2

I guess it's a problem with the Async pack binding. You might want to try to remove the package and readd. More below:

In the past I was able to repro many post certification issues just by run the release version of the app from Visual Studio and simply unplug the cable while it is running. Sure you can't debug it but at least you can repro and test it without submitting it.

Looks like it was a store issue. Should be resolved now.

Thank you guys for your advice, but error has gone away. I don't do anything, i think that it was something with store...
