Postbuild signing event issue since 1.4 SDK update

Question

Hello. I'm using the "AfterBuild" event in the project file of my C# add-in to sign the add-in file after it is successfully built, as shown in the ProGuide page here:

ProGuide Digitally signed add ins · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk Wiki · GitHub

Here is the snippet from my project file, which has worked fine up until the recent 1.4 SDK:

Now whenever I build in release mode (note the condition), I get this error:

Can anyone advise? If I remove the "DependsOnTargets" part, it tries to sign the add-in before it has finished building the add-in file, so fails.

Regards,

Luke

Thank you Uma. I'm confused as to why it's been working for me up until now if I got the value wrong... strange!

Hi Luke, The DependsOnTargets value should be PackageArcGISContents. This snippet below works for me. Thanks Uma <Target Name="AfterBuild" DependsOnTargets="PackageArcGISContents"> <Exec Command=""C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\ArcGISSignAddIn.exe" $(TargetDir)$(TargetName).esriAddInX /c:D:\esri.pfx /p:*****/s" /> <Exec Command=""C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\RegisterAddin.exe" $(TargetDir)$(TargetName).esriAddInX /s" /> Target>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
