Windows Application Certification Kit - packagefullname W8 Store error

Question

When I want to certify my application (Metro application) using a set of Windows application certificates, I click on the repository and when the Windows application certification kit starts, it goes on to prepare for the application verification, and then I get an error message:

The Windows Application Certificate Suite experienced the following error while validating your application.

{0} cannot continue testing because the specified Windows application store was not found. Verify that packagefullname is correct.

How the batch name will not be correct, since I am not the one who dialed it? I am using the GUI in VS 2012.

When I run the Get-AppxPackage > out.txt in the power shell, I see that my application has the fully qualified name of the package, so even when I try to run the command line

 .\appcert.exe test -apptype metrostyle –packagefullname XXXXXXXXXX_neutral__823pgb98jhb94 -reportoutputpath c:\temp\MyWACKReport.xml 

It says that the full name of the package should be indicated, so I really don't understand. What can I do so that my application can pass the certification of Windows App.

My machine: Windows 8 Pro x64 with VS 2012 Ultimate

Answer 1

Did you install the application before starting the certificate set?

This is somewhat annoying that appcert.exe cannot install the package itself. (That's why we developed some tools to do this for us, we hope that we will open it soon ...)
