Description
When attempting to package an app for dist-winstore using the 8.1 Windows SDK the build will fail with the error below
[ERROR] C:\Users\Ewan\.titanium\vsbuild\pkgtest\store.x86\Package.appxmanifest(39,10): error APPX1674: App manifest defines lock screen notifications without specifying one of appropriate background task types: timer, control channel, push notification, or location.

Weird, never ran into this before. I'm guess maybe this is related? https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/f0339531-123d-4764-927d-8ed9251ce65a/why-do-i-have-to-specify-a-background-task?forum=csharpgeneral It's possible the app you used had an app image that we could use for a badge, so we generated one and stuck a reference to it in the manifest and then Windows went nuts thinking that meant you had a background task? Can you attach/paste the contents of C:\Users\Ewan\.titanium\vsbuild\pkgtest\store.x86\Package.appxmanifest ?
[~eharris] So I put up a PR for the fix, but I'm not 100% sure if this will do it or not. One easy way to test out if it will is to edit the package manifest template we use for 8.1 store apps. In the SDK's windows/templates/build/Package.store.appxmanifest.in.ejs file, remove the line:
<m2:LockScreen Notification="badge" BadgeLogo="Square24x24Logo.png" />Verified using: Windows 10 Pro Visual Studio 2015 Community Update 2 Appc Core: 5.3.0-18 Appc NPM: 4.2.5-2 Ti SDK: 5.3.0.v20160418111755 Appc Studio: 4.6.0.201604180847 When packaging using
appc run -p windows -T dist-winstore --wp-sdk 8.1the appxbundle is now successfully created. Closing ticket
