Uploaded MSIX has generic errors
The instructions are as clear as mud; so many make simple mistakes. Pay close attention to the following:
- The field from the store Package/Identity/Name must be identical to the PackageName field of the AppXManifest.
- The field from the store Package/Identity/Publisher must match that of the Publisher field of the AppXManifest, and also match the Subject Name on the certificate. All three must use the CN= format.
- The store Package/Property/DisplayName should be the same as the publisher display name of the AppXManifest, however I doubt anyone checks that.
- The msix file must be signed using the certificate with that subject field and either the certificate must not be expired, or you used a timestamp on the signing (although as you just created the cert, expiration should not be an issue).
1) by the PackageName field of the AppXManifest - do you mean Package.Identity? ie
<Identity Name="[from Package/Identity/Name]" Publisher="CN=[from Package/Identity/Publisher]" Version="10.4.0.0" ProcessorArchitecture="x64" />
2) confirmed
3) confirmed
4) ok. I had disabled signing the .msix because the signing seemed to occur on upload. I am playing with this now - signing the .msix (with my self-signed key) and then presumably signing the .msixupload as it uploads with the same key
Unfortunately it still fails with the same errors as before. I even tried uploading just the .msix.
So my certs seem right, the alignment of AppStore metadata seems right, the App Cert kit seems happy (Passed with warnings- there don't seem to be blocking issues).
Could you please eyeball the start of my AppxManifest.xml and see if anything looks wrong?
