I get :

What pfx file should sign the app? (leave blank to generate):

What will be your PFX password?:

Both of which I bypass with enter key.
Then I get a prompt to "Enter a Private Key Password" with "Key" as "Subject Key". Entering anything here gives

[ERROR] An error occurred during build after 4m 29s 170ms

Also running :

appc run -p windows --target wp-emulator --deploy-time development --device-id 8-1-1

Gives :
