Windows App Store validation

[birdofpreyru]

Figure out how to validate the library and / or its Example App for Windows App Store (it looks like host apps having no other issues do pass the validation when using this library, however if there are any other validation issues, then some extra issues are reported for the library — probably this can be somehow avoided). Ideally, if it can be run automatically as a part of build / test pipeline for Windows.

In Visual Studio, rather than doing a side load build, you can make a build which intention it is to upload to the MS Store. It’s the first Screen when selecting: Publish -> Create App Package. After the build, it will ask you whether you want to run the validation test.

There maybe also a standalone version “appcert.exe” as mentioned here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/debug-test-perf/windows-app-certification-kit
