Windows App Certification Kit ARM not executing on Surface RT

Question

Hi!

I am trying to verify my Windows Store App for Windows 8.1 (developed on VS 2013) on a Surface RT with Windows RT 8.1 Preview, using the Windows Application Certification Kit for ARM.  The problem is that I havent managed to run it not even a single time.

1. I successfully installed the ARM Kits Policy Information

1.1 To prove it, I ran the following command on the Surface, getting the shown result:

PS C:\> Get-SecureBootPolicy 

Publisher: 77fa9abd-0359-4d32-bd60-28f4e78f784b 
Version  : 1 

2. The Windows App Certification Kit shows under the Start menu but when I run it as Adminstrator I get an error that the digital certificate (signature, since I have the Surface RT in German) can not be verified; and therefore, never executes.

Note: I dont have Visual Studio installed on the Surface and I didnt manage to install any standalone SDK yet my understanding is that within the ARM Kits Policy and SDK is already available.  Could someone confirm this?

Any suggestions?

Hi，

Would you install ARM Kits policy in your surface RT. Please see ARM Kits policy information

Hi,

As I mentioned earlier, I have already installed the ARM Kits Policy on the Surface RT.  Please see output Publisher after successful execution.  Yet:

"2. The Windows App Certification Kit shows under the Start menu but when I run it as Adminstrator I get an error that the digital certificate (signature, since I have the Surface RT in German) can not be verified; and therefore, never executes."

Any suggestion on how to overcome this error?

Hi Tabcina,

You will need to upgrade your Surface to the release version of Windows RT 8.1. The certificate added by the ARM Kits Policy is not valid on the Preview OS.
