@Zameer-codes would it be possible to get a repro project?
What command line command did you run? (or was it from VS?)
Anything special about project/app?

Unfortunately the error code is just the most general "Failed", so it's really hard to tell what's going on here.

@Zameer-codes
It would help us verify and understand your situation better if you could provide a binlog. Thanks!
