Publishing a signed package

[DavidM29]

Hello, how can I specify in the msbuild command to sign the app package with a certificate from azure key vault?

Thanks for the question. You can review this documentation about this topic.

Hello @jeromelaban, thanks for the answer, I have followed the documentation but I am still unable to publish the signed package.

For the testing purposes I specified net9.0-windows as the only target framework and published the app using the VS GUI. I was able to successfully create the package with the self-signed certificate, however, when I specified the certificate from Azure Key Vault and tried to create the package I got the following error: A signing key is required in order to package this project. Please specify a PackageCertificateKeyFile or PackageCertificateThumbprint value in the project file.

To clarify I was able to list and select the certificate I needed for signing.

Could you help with this or should I file this to the visual studio feedback?

Thanks for the update.

Anything related to msix tooling and signing is not managed by Uno. The best is to report it through VS feedback or on the WinUI/WinAppSDK repositories.
