Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Currently trying to create app source package for my ISV PowerApps offer and would like to include licensing for the model driven Power App in the solution.

Currently I have followed along with their instructions here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/developer/appsource/publish-app. At the end of step 2: create a managed solution, it mentions ISV licensing as an optional step. When I started that process using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/developer/appsource/appendix-add-license-information-to-your-solution , that is when I ran into a roadblock.

Here is a summary of what I have done and the error I encounter:

I read through step 2 before doing anything, so when I started with any solution package it was in the first step of the appendix- add license information.
I followed the appendix information as written, successfully generated the CSV files for the plan definition and plan mapping, and used CLI to clone the target solution (which lives in a dev environment) and to add the license files to that solution folder. All of this seemed to work just fine.
I then used MSbuild to "create the solution zip file", per the instructions in the appendix above. I do get a zip file in the appropriate bin/Release folder. In the visual studio command line, it says this has generated a managed solution package type. The instructions then say to import this solution zip file to a clean environment, and export it as a managed solution. Of note, when I try to import it, it does correctly identify the version of my app as well as identifying it as a managed solution, not unmanaged.
The import subsequently fails with an error "the app module with given unique name (my app unique name) was not found"

Where do I go from here? Has the process been updated? Has the MSbuild action created the managed solution with licensing information that I need to move forward with Step 3, creating the package file? I am at a loss and there doesn't seem to be much discussion on this topic.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
