2025-05-19T14:20:26.9766667+00:00 I'm working with Windows App SDK and using Windows Push Notification Services (WNS) to enable push notifications in a desktop application packaged with MSIX.
According to the Quickstart: Push notifications in the Windows App SDK documentation, Step 4 instructs developers to email to request mapping the app’s Package Family Name (PFN) to its Azure AppId. However, emails to this address consistently bounce with an "undeliverable" message.
Without this mapping, my Notification Hub configuration fails with the following error when trying to save WNS Settings (Package SID and Secret Key):
{"error":{"code":"BadRequest","message":"Invalid WNS credentials."}}This indicates that the WNS authentication is failing due to the missing PFN-to-Azure AppId mapping.
Could you please advise on an alternative contact method or the updated procedure to complete this mapping step?
