fail_fast_fatal_app_exit_c0000409_microsoft.windowsappruntime.dll! windowsappruntimedeployment_tracelogger :: initialize :: stopwithresult

Describe the bug

My team has an app which was recently migrated to WinAppSDK, this error is having quite some hit in Watson in the flights for the migration release.

It seems to happen when Microsoft.Windows.ApplicationModel.WindowsAppRuntime.DeploymentManager.Initialize() is called (by following the doc).

Steps to reproduce the bug

I can't reproduce this error on any devices I have but it is from internal telemetry that some of our users are experiencing app crashes due to this issue.

Expected behavior

When DeploymentManager.Initialize() fails it should return an error without crashing the app.

Can you please provide a repro of this.

Thanks @RDMacLachlan , I tried all my devices with a combo of Win10/11 but still can't repro this. It is currently happening to ~0.5% users according to our telemetry. Please see the error bucket in Watson: https://watsonportal.microsoft.com/Failure?FailureSearchText=9d0e0232-df19-abff-4a13-136a6fcb0fe6, and also an example of the call stack: https://watsonportal.microsoft.com/CabAnalysis?CabIdentifier=https://weus2watcab01.blob.core.windows.net/global-202412/eb6bedf3-14ed-4fd8-97b5-798b996bd145.zip if it helps.
