When I want to certify my application (Metro application) with the Windows App Certification Kit, I click on store and when the Windows App Certification Kit is launched it goes into preparing to validate app and then I get the error message:
The Windows App Certification Kit experienced the following failure while validating your app.
The {0} cannot continue testing since the specified Windows App store was was not found. Please verify that the packagefullname is correct”
How can the packagefulname not be correct since I am not the one that typed it? I use the GUI in VS 2012.
When launch the command Get-AppxPackage > out.txt in power shell I can see that my app has a package full name so even when I try to launch the command prompt
.\appcert.exe test -apptype metrostyle –packagefullname XXXXXXXXXX_neutral__823pgb98jhb94 -reportoutputpath c:\temp\MyWACKReport.xml
It says that the package full name must be specified with is the case so I really don’t understand. What can I do so that my application can pass Windows App Certification.
My machine: Windows 8 Pro x64 with VS 2012 ultimate
Did you install the application prior to running the certification kit?
It is somewhat annoying that appcert.exe can’t install a package itself. (Which is why we developed some tooling to do that for us, hopefully we’ll open-source it soon…)
