UWP app run after deploy from package - crash

Question

I created big update for my uwp app(Windows 10 desktop). My debug and release configuration app runing on my PC. I created package for store. I deploy test folder app(MyApp_VersionNumber_Test) on other PC - the deployment is successful. But I running my app then app crashing. It is log from windows event:

I enabled user mode dump, but my dump folder is empty. I used application insights(in my uwp app) but logs is empty. Any ideas? Problem is with xaml. How do I find this bug?

Have you tried in some other devices? Do they have the same problem? — Jay Zuo

I solved this problem. I had two ways to search for solutions. I write them here, I hope it will help to save time.

Start with the end. I have the exception code, it's 0xc000027b (as seen in the Windows Event Viewer). These articles show how to use the dump to fix errors in the windows store app:

Debugging a Windows 8.1 Store App Crash Dump

Understanding and resolving failures in Windows Store apps
I decided to look for the problem in the source code. I opened exception list in Visual studio(CTRL+ALT+E). I selected all exceptions for "Common Language Runtime", ran in Debug mode. Then the error was found:
```
 var res = ResourceLoader.GetForCurrentView().GetString(key);
```

I changed my code to:

    LocalizedResources = new ResourceLoader();
    var res = LocalizedResources.GetString(key);
