Description

The _TitaniumWindows_ module contains references to 17 different modules. If another reference is added, bumping the count to 18 (e.g https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile_windows/pull/191) the build will fail. What's strange is when a clean build is performed with 17 references. The build will succeed, if another reference is added and a normal build is performed it too will succeed. But if a clean build is performed again, the build will fail. I don't think this is a CMake issue, since I can reproduce this using only Visual Studio.

    I was able to reproduce this issue. I believe this is not a compiler/linker issue but there's a kind of bug or limitation around applicatioin packager (appx). What I am seeing is that there's external module (winmd) built and exe is successfully built, but there's an unexpected failure on GenerateAppxManifest task at AppxPackage\Microsoft.AppXPackage.Targets. What this mean I think is that appx packager is not working well with certain conditions (I guess it happens when we referenced over 18 external winmd). I also saw that the "Create App Packages" (which you can launch from VS "Project -> Store" menu) standalone packager crashes for the project. To workaround this, we might want to add module files against certain target such as TitaniumWindows instead of adding new module as winmd.
