The app update with an added Service Application project cannot be submited to Samsung store

The app update with an added Service Application project cannot be submited to Samsung store

BY 02 Dec 2020 Tizen .NET

Hello, I have a .NET project (Xamarin.Forms) Tizen app. This app is published on the Samsung store and users can download it.

I have added a “service-application” project into my solution, according to this official guide: https://developer.samsung.com/tizen/blog/en-us/2019/01/04/how-to-package-ui-and-service-applications-together-and-perform-them

So I have the main app (com.xyz.app) and the background service application (com.xyz.app.service) packaged together. It works on my device when installed locally.

But the Samsung store does not accept the .tpk package. It says: “The binary is invalid. The app type must be identical to that of the other registered binaries.

The main package ID is still the same, also the certificates are also the same. Why is this happening? This is most likely just a wrong check on the store, it should accept my update. How this can be fixed?

Thank you, Tomas
