Describe your question in detail.

I have been building on confidential transactions. Since the package is experimental, I have been doing some attempts to include the necessary contracts of confidential_assets.move, confidential_balance.move etc in a stand alone package just like in https://confidential.aptoslabs.com/. Compilation was success, but nn publishing the contract, im getting an error as given below. Thank you.

What error, if any, are you getting?

Simulation failed with status: USER_DEFINED_NATIVE_NOT_ALLOWED\nExecution failed with message: Cannot publish native function to non-special address

What have you tried or looked at? Or how can we reproduce the error?

Command to publish is
aptos move create-resource-account-and-publish-package --seed 1000 --address-name abc --named-addresses source_addr=0x123 --included-artifacts none --override-size-check

Aptos CLI version 7.4.0

Which operating system are you using?

macOS

Which SDK or tool are you using? (if any)

Aptos CLI

hmm i don't think you can publish your own version of confidential_assets.move, you have to use the official one

Natives can only be published by the framework. So, you cannot deploy this on your own.

At the moment, this is published under devnet https://explorer.aptoslabs.com/account/0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007/modules/packages/AptosExperimental?network=devnet
