Question

Error: "Base" is not a valid PriceId for the base price "when trying to deploy a Microsoft Store application with VSTS tasks

Introduction

I created a Windows Universal project that I want to be able to automatically release to Microsoft repository using VSTS tasks.

Since the application is intended for internal use only by the corporation, I set its free price and have already released it manually. In addition, we have assigned it to several Microsoft internal corporate accounts to ensure that they are the only ones that can download it.

The steps I took

First of all, I started by installing the VSTS extension in my VSTS account: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MS-RDX-MRO.windows-store-publish

After that, I freely followed the steps described at this URL. (The reason I followed them is because some of these steps do not seem to be relevant). For example, creating a new application from the developer's portal requires multiple redirect URLs. Since we don’t need a redirect URL (this app will only be for remote VSTS connection), I just started typing in random URLs. Perhaps due to my lack of knowledge, I could not find anything that he would accept. Since this did not work, I created a new application in VSTS where I just entered www.google.nl as the redirect URL that really worked (after finding out that you probably need to create “WebApp” instead of “Native” application because you can only create Key for WebApp.But I suppose that is a different topic :).
