SDK 29 and embedded images

I updated my SDK to SP29 yesterday, and for the most part it has been fine. I have just changed the .NET version to 4.8, rebuilt, and carried on.

I especially like that the “Refresh UI Model” tool seems to work in VS2019 again (finally).

One issue I have noticed is that custom embedded images no longer seem to work after the rebuild. In a Catalog project I have an image flagged as an embedded resource, and I refer to it with the usual syntax. This particular one happens to look like this:

<UIAction ActionID="SELECT" Caption="" ImageKey="CATALOG:Training.Catalog,Training.Catalog.right-arrow_16.png"/

I can look inside the DLL and confirm the image data is still there. But in CRM, I just get the ‘broken image’ icon.

I have tried rebuilding both the catalog and uimodel projects in question under .net 4.8 with no effect. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or resolved it?

    In my testing, SP29 seemed generally to ignore embedded custom images entirely - it wasn't a build issue as I initially suspected. SP30 seems to have fixed it, although it's not in the release notes as a fixed issue, so it may have been something specific to me (but I don't think so)

    @Stacey Segal Hi! Did you ever find out any information this issue. We will be upgrading to SP29 shortly and I want to avoid this issue if possible.

    Thank you.
