I have a Windows phone 8 app which I need to port to Windows 10. App uses two .vsix extensions
- XXXX Universal Windows SDK
- XXXX Universal Windows Helper SDK
These are the two extensions used by the app. The XXXX in the extension is the company name.
I am unable to add both these extensions to my sample in Windows-10.
I add the first extension(XXXX Universal Windows SDK) to my app. I then check the Object Browser in VS-2015 to verify
that all symbols exported by the first extension is available.
Then I install the second extension(XXXX Universal Windows Helper SDK). Now if I check Object Browser, the second extension overwrites the symbols exported by the first extension & VS-2015 complains about the inability to find the symbols
from the first extension.
Similarly, if I add the second extension followed by the first one, then the first extension overwrites symbols from first one, & VS-2015 cannot find any symbols from first extension.
This functionality used to work in VS-2013 & Windows phone 8. The corresponding .vsix extensions were then named, XXXX Windows Phone 8 SDK & XXXX WIndows Phone 8 Helper.
Is this a new behavior in Windows 10? Does VS-2015 not allow addition of more than one extension with similar name? (XXXX in the names of the extension are same)
