Electron window store build crashing

Question

We are using electron builder with reactJs to create windows application our application packaged well in .exe with the help of electron-builder but not able to published on windows store even followed the guide provided by windows-electron-store.

Getting error while executing this command:

electron-windows-store --input-directory ./dist --output-directory ./output --package-version 1.0.0.0 --package-name cra-electron

You can see I provide all required arguments --input-directory, --output-directory, --package-version and --package-name except --flatten because its no more required according to this commit dcc654d

At this time you've probably guessed that you're missing the 'makeappx.exe'. Try the Windows Kit location with 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit'. This is the location that i see in my machine. Make sure you install the latest Windows 10 SDK too.
