Hi,
I am developing Windows Phone 8 application (C#, XAML). It is an application with a ScheduledTaskAgent.
When uploading the XAP file to the store I am getting this error:
2012: Agent myAppScheduledTaskAgent doesn’t have a valid entry assembly.
the WMAppManifest.xml is the following:

My ScheduledAgent.cs file is the following:
namespace myAppScheduledTaskAgent
{
public class ScheduledAgent : ScheduledTaskAgent
{
/// <remarks>
/// ScheduledAgent constructor, initializes the UnhandledException handler
/// </remarks>
static ScheduledAgent()
{
// Subscribe to the managed exception handler
Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( delegate
{
Application.Current.UnhandledException += UnhandledException;
} );
}
/// Code to execute on Unhandled Exceptions
private static void UnhandledException( object sender, ApplicationUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e )
{
if ( Debugger.IsAttached )
{
// An unhandled exception has occurred; break into the debugger
Debugger.Break();
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Agent that runs a scheduled task
/// </summary>
/// <param name="task">
/// The invoked task
/// </param>
/// <remarks>
/// This method is called when a periodic or resource intensive task is invoked
/// </remarks>
protected override async void OnInvoke( ScheduledTask task )
{
tileCount = 2;
UpdateMainFlipTile( tileCount );
#if DEBUG_AGENT
// If debugging is enabled, launch the agent again in one minute.
ScheduledActionService.LaunchForTest( task.Name, TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 60 ) );
#endif
// Call NotifyComplete to let the system know the agent is done working.
NotifyComplete();
}
.
.
.
}
When uploading the XAP I am getting the above error.
When loading the application to the debugger and on my Device the application works fine.
I tried to remove the ExtendedTask definition from the manifest:
<ExtendedTask Name="BackgroundTask">
<BackgroundServiceAgent Specifier="ScheduledTaskAgent" Name="myAppScheduledTaskAgent" Source="myAppScheduledTaskAgent" Type="myAppScheduledTaskAgent.ScheduledAgent" />
</ExtendedTask>
The uploading the XAP file completes without an error, but there the scheduled task agent doesn't work either. :(
Any idea what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
