APPX_E_INVALID_PACKAGING_LAYOUT

APPX_E_INVALID_PACKAGING_LAYOUT means that the packaging layout file supplied to the build workflow is invalid. A layout describes how source files and package content are arranged for package creation.

How to resolve it

Validate the layout XML and paths against the packaging tool and target package type.
Check that mappings refer to existing files and that package destination paths are valid and unique.
Regenerate layout input from the build system when a manually edited file diverges from the package contents.

Use a reproducible packaging command so the layout and final package can be audited together.
