Add-Migration command not working in EF 7 for UWP app

entity-framework-core sqlite uwp

Question

I'm following getting started with EF 7 for UWP apps official tutorial.

When I'm at Add-Migration MyFirstMigration, it throws following error:

PM> Add-Migration MyFirstMigration

Add-Migration : Exception calling "CreateInstanceAndUnwrap" with "8" argument(s): "Could not load file or assembly 'AppShellProject, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' 
or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-Migration MyFirstMigration
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-Migration], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : BadImageFormatException,Add-Migration

Has anyone figured out any workaround?

Great job @Anil. :)

Actually, since this kind of issue may be related to Visual Studio tools or NuGet. By searching "CreateInstanceAndUnwrap Add-Migration" in EF repository on GitHub, you will see some issues there. If you cannot find any existing issues next time, as same as the questions(project.json, project type and etc. ) I asked, try to find out what's the difference between your steps/configurations and the tutorial will be helpful and you will have more info to get a quick answer.

I believe @bricelam has pointed out the issue you encountered, and no one is more familiar with EF7 than him. I want to pick some key messages from @bricelam in that issue as the ending:

Correct, the Migration commands won't work with x64 assemblies. The current implementation executes inside of an AppDomain created from VS (devenv.exe) which is a 32-bit process.

you'll have to use x86 at design-time.

add-migration command fails on ApplicationDbContex

You can't get it to work. Because EF needs to know which connectionstring should be used. You can either put the connectionstring into your OnModelCreating method. Which is bad when you have more than one DB (dev, test and production for example). Or you implement IDbContextFactory which will be loaded by EF through reflection....So implementing I...
