I am planing to release my flutter app to the windows store and I understand that I need to certify my app first, when I try to google about this topic I see a lot of misleading information about certification and Also I want to make publishing to windows store part of CI/CD with github actions. please if possible guide me to the right tutorial or anything that can help me understand what I need to do to have all I need from this file of yours

Hello Richard

If you done testing your app and you want to publish it to the windows store, you don't need sign it

but for testing or local publish, you have to manually sign it with the build in TEST certificate or with your own certificate (like you trying to do)

try to remove the subject= part from subject=C=RW, ST=Some-State, L=Kigali, O=Yegobox Ltd, CN=yegobox.com, emailAddress=yegobox@gmail.com and try again, please update if you its still don't work.

Now when following the above advise I get new error ERROR: PRI191: 0x80004005 - Appx manifest not found or is invalid. Please ensure well-formed manifest file is present. Or specify an index name with /in switch. Required white space was missing.

Example:

MakePri.exe new /pr C:\MyApp\src\ /cf C:\MyApp\priconfig.xml /mn
C:\MyApp\AppXManifest.xml /of C:\MyApp\src\resources.pri /o

Description:

                    manifest. This parameter is ignored if [indexname]
                    is given. Default is [projectroot]\AppXManifest.xml
/IndexName(in)    : <STRING> Name for the generated index of resources.
