We’ve reported this as a false positive to Avast. Hopefully they can fix this problem.

After leaving it a few days for Avast to (hopefully) fix the issue, I now have a different warning.

We’ve continued to try to submit things to Avast. At this point it seems like they are mostly unresponsive. We’re doing our best but at this point we’d suggest using Windows Defender which has been working with with for many years and seems to be much more responsive and user friendly. I’m sorry we don’t have better news.

I had to roll back to AppStudio 9.0.6.4 which doesn’t throw any warnings from Avast.

We’ve found yet another way to submit things to Avast, but an Alert ID is required. Are you able to provide one?

I have found how to restore it from Quarantine, so I am now able to use v 9.0.7.1
