Can not Sign the MSIX pacakge with self-signed certificate

I used Makeappx tool to convert my appx package to the msix package and now I want to test my msix package. I created a self-signed certificate by following the steps from https://docs.microsoft.com/...

Hi,

Yes, I have the same issue:
SignTool Error: An unexpected internal error has occurred.
Error information: "Error: SignerSign() failed." (-2147024846/0x80070032)

Event viewer show me this: "The reader was created successfully without manifest validation." And it is under Information Level, not Warning or Error. 

Details: 
MSIX create with MSIX Packaging Tool (Preview)
OS build: 17713.1000
Signtool.exe used from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17134.0

I have the same issue with self-signed certificate (0x80070032).  The name is valid, and I can use the cert to sign an exe without issue.  I am using 17134 version of signtool, and have tried both the x86 and x64 version of signtool.

 

Event operational log generates a single information entry (Event 181 - The reader was created successfully without manifest validation). 

 

Enabling debug log produced single event of Event 0 (ErrorCode 15003 with EventPayload of all zeros))
