Ok, i found a solution. A dumb one, but it seems to work. You need to create a new project and copy assests from the old one, while building it constantly (copying all assests at once gives the same error).

I got this error because I didn't setup properly the WSA certificate in Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Windows Store -> Publishing -> Certificate. For some reason it was empty. I just chose my existing certificate and built it again successfully. Otherwise, you can try to create a new certificate and select it.
