Hi @ThomasNieto similar comment to the issue #1809

Looking at AnyPackage.Appx module manifest it appears you've got Appx listed under RequiredModules and under ExternalModuleDependencies. PowerShell and PSResourceGet expect a dependency module to be listed under either manifest element not both. (ie it won't detect it in both and then exclude it from RequiredModules because it was listed under ExternalModuleDependencies). So if Appx is an external dependency remove it from RequiredModules and publish should work.

We've updated the docs here to be clearer about the intent of ExternalModuleDependencies
