I've reproduced this with aspire shop sample. Found this ticket after getting same exception trying to deploy my own project.

Thanks, this workaround is good for me too.

[scharada]

updating the sdk did not solve the problem for me...

[scharada]

updating SDK to 8.0.401 and Aspire to 8.2.0 solved the issue for me .

updating SDK to 8.0.401 and Aspire to 8.2.0 solved the issue for me .

I can't thank you more. I confirm updating SDK to 8.0.401 was the only solution that worked. Thank you!!!
