Please guide if there has any mistakes.

RequiredModuleTypes.Add(typeof(Xpand.ExpressApp.Security.XpandSecurityModule));

this lines says to me that you want the security module only however there are platform specific modules Win or Web as well.

Xpand.XAF.Core.All

this is not a requirement if u only into the Security module.

In any case a repro sample could help

TestXAF1.zip See attachment for detail. I only make Blazo solution, add xpand Nuget, add code to modules.cs, and met trouble here.

I also can not open model editor of Xpand from menu (VSIX) . Below is output messages :

the Security module does not have a Blazor part so I guess there are problems there, and do not plan to support it specifically. New releases will be standalone modules in the Reactive repository. The VSIX is also for .NETFramework for .net5.0 there is a new editor https://github.com/eXpandFramework/Reactive.XAF/tree/master/tools/Xpand.XAF.ModelEditor

I don't think Security module has problem. The project compiled and run OK. but can not open ModelEditor of DevExpress. Using XpandModelEditor from above link now is OK but it has some mistakes: frequently can not display interface, always auto re-opening 7-8 times every time I close the XpandModelEditor form. If installing VSIX file, it always open list modules to choose, but then can not open XpandModelEditor form (it stopped at "starting....").

always auto re-opening 7-8 times every time I close the XpandModelEditor form

please provide detailed steps 1,2,3 etc along with a screencast
