Steps To Reproduce

1.Create an application with third-party libraries and submit it to the Microsoft Store.

@chiaramooney , are we hitting this with Gallery? Would Gallery pass this certification?

@Victor0814gui Have you tried uploading the appx to see if the Store actually complains about it?

[Victor0814gui]

Yes @jonthysell, I tried uploading through Visual Studio and also sending the .appxupload file directly, but I was not successful.

[Victor0814gui]

I created a sample repository based on an existing product for testing purposes. I hope I won't be sued by Microsoft, haha, since the Microsoft Store is quite strict with new applications.

Currently we have apps in the store running on RNW v0.72 (see React Native Gallery). We also have an app in the store running on v0.73.0-preview.0. Both of these published with no WACK issues. My guess would be this error is coming from a community module that your app is using.

Error as text (thanks OCR!):

The Microsoft.ReactNative. IJSValueReader type referenced by the RNScreens. IRNScreensModule type in the file C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\35657ivgc.builder.Settingswin11clonestudy_1.0.2.0_x64_yg0tzxzkv29bc\RNScreens.winmd was not found. All types referenced in metadata files must be discoverable.

I assume the problem here is something to do with this version of RNScreens (we have our Gallery app publishing to the store, but on an older version), or in the project configuration.

From your project configuration, UseExperimentalNuget is turned on.

This may be an issue with how the nuget package dependencies are set up, particularly with react-native-screens (and it having an older version of the module template).

Actions we should take:

• Put Gallery on the latest version of Screens
• Check the Screens module's configuration to see if it's doing the right things with nugets.

Unblocking actions on your end:

• Try turning off UseExperimentalNuget in your this file: https://github.com/Victor0814gui/settings-11-clone/blob/main/windows/ExperimentalFeatures.props

It makes sense, I will migrate and see if this solves the issue. Thank you very much for the response.
