we have an app that is working and we want to sideload the app on our devices
We will be using a sideloading key as the devices are not always domain joined
Everything is working i can sideload the app as long as i install ms's test certificate as a trusted cert on the device but of course we need to get a proper certificate for the app package signing.
this is where my problem starts
we have a standard code signing cert from godaddy but that doesnt work because when we try to use it for signing the app package using signtool it complains that the publisher id is different from the publisher id in the package
the publisher id in the app package is the one from the microsoft developer account (ie CN=guidvaluefromms) where the code signing certificate has CN=COmpany Name, ...
When i try to assign the code signing cert from godaddy in the app manifest visual studio complains that the publisher id has to be the same as the publisher id on the ms developer account.
Can someone give me a hint on either how i get a proper certificate or what i am doing wrong
