Hi Stan Chiam,

>>not sure how to get certificate

You can refer to the Create a certificate for package signing, it explains how to create and export a certificate for app package signing using PowerShell tools. Meanwhile, you can also use Visual Studio for Packaging UWP apps. 

After you create and export your certificate, you're ready to sign your app package with SignTool. For the next step in the manual packaging process, see Sign an app package using SignTool.

Best regards,

Breeze Liu

Answer 2

Hi,

Visual studio show error as below screen capture  how to fix this?

This is an ionic cordova project, not sure what it mean by same name.

The file 'images\xxxxx' 
has the same name in the shared project and the 'CordovaApp.Windows10' project. The copy from the 'CordovaApp.Windows10' project will be deployed to your app. To remove this warning, rename the file 'images\icon.png' in the shared project or the 'CordovaApp.Windows10' project.

Answer 3

After rerun ionic build windows, the error disappear.
