"06:04:35 fail: MSStore.CLI.ProjectConfigurators.MauiProjectConfigurator[0] Retrieved a submission that was created in Partner Center. We can't upload the packages for submissions created in Partner Center. Please, delete it and try again."

command ci-cd : script: msstore publish -id XXXXXX -f XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -v -i $(system.defaultworkingdirectory)\XXXX\bin\Release\net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0\win10-x64\AppPackages\

This is a weird, but known, behavior of the APIs. Whenever you create a submission on the portal it doesn't have an upload URL. This means that in order to use the APIs, and therefore the CLI, you need to create the submission through the APIs. That is usually not a problem for non-flighted submissions, but for flighted submissions, you usually would go to the portal and create the flight, expecting the CLI to simply create the flight submission, and then everything should (in theory,) be fine. That is not the case, since when you create the flight on the portal, creates an empty submission. That flight submission was, in fact, created through the portal, so it doesn't have an upload URL, and therefore we can't use it to upload the package. We can't delete it through the APIs, as that would make the flight contain no attached submission, which deletes the flight itself. Unfortunately, the only solution is to create the first flight submission through the APIs/CLI, not through the portal, and then further flight submissions should be fine. You can achieve that by using the "msstore flights create" command. You need the productId, a friendly name for the flight, and a group id, which you can get on the portal: https://partner.microsoft.com/dashboard/analytics/customers

Thanks @azchohfi

Creating the flight by cli , now i can follow the process but now i receive a error about invalid package . I was creating a .msix package in befor step by "dotnet publish" so i put the path of droped package , in command line of msstore . I don't know if this process its wright , can you send a valid flow to send a valid flight package to store ?

I fixed it just moving the dropped files from previous build to default path of App Package "$(system.defaultworkingdirectory)\App Packages". Now Works Fine ! Thanks @azchohfi
