Can you please inform the devs at Microsoft for Minecraft for Windows 10 Mobile to sync the achievements again?

It’s the only UWP app that hasn’t gone to PC and is only for mobile. The service isn’t connecting for the achievements sadly since the Xbox update in November of 2020.

Same Issue. Ever since the Xbox UWP app got updated, it now forces Ubisoft Connect to open every single time it does. Yes, there are workarounds as mentioned above, but this shouldn't need to happen. Please fix this ASAP Xbox UWP app team.

Hello Momo,

Thanks for keeping us updated. It would have been helpful to let us know you were in Developer mode from the get go, as what you are trying to do is not possible in retail mode.
