Signtool Error: This file format cannot be signed because it is not recognized

Question

I'm trying to get a corporate app distribution up and running (currently as test / proof of concept).

I've acquired the Symantec Code Signing Certificate, installed Visual Studio and SDK8 in accordance with the Microsoft guide on the subject. I've put the signtools.exe, SSp.xap and my PFX certificate into the XAPSignTool folder and tried to run (from CMD as admin: XapSignTool.exe Sign /f [certificatename].pfx /p [certificatepassword] SSP.XAP

Unfortunately I then get'Signtool Error: This file format cannot be signed because it is not recognized.''Signtool Error: An error occurred while attempting to sign: C:\Users\Windows8\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp30C5\SSP.XAP''XapSignTool Error: signtool.exe failed with exit code 1.'

I've not been able to find any explanation or solution for this on the internet and forums. The only possible lead I currently have is that we've had some trouble getting the Code Signing Certificate. We've eventually managed to complete the procedure, but we did so using Google Chrome. The certificate seemed to be downloaded successfully, but it did not show up in the Windows Certificates archive in Console automatically, as it was supposed to. I've had to manually import it. The manually imported certificate is now in the right folder, but does not show 'Symantec' as issuer (issuer is shown empty).

I'm not sure how this would relate to the 'file format' of the SSP.XAP, but it might be of influence. Other than that, I can see no difference in the steps I've taken and all the manuals/guides I've been able to find.

I'm hoping someone here can offer some insight as to what could cause this.

Kind regards,

Christiaan

Can you please try signing using the powershell script?Below link has more information , and let us know if you still see the issue.

powershell.exe -File "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\MDILXAPCompile\BuildMDILXap.ps1" -xapfilename "%UserProfile%\Documents\CompanyApps\Contoso.xap" –pfxfilename "%UserProfile%\Documents\Certificates\ContosoCert.pfx" -password mystrongpassword

Allright, I got a colleague to try your suggestion at the developer workstation containing the certificate. He just mailed me the error response below. 

At least this gives me something new to investigate, but if it tells you something right out of the box, I'd be grateful for any insight.

Hi Rashmi

I first of would like to say thank you for all the help you have provided so far.

Yesterday I believe I was successful in signing the Certificate. This is great news but the next steps in the process do not appear to be clear. 

We are up to part four.

 

The guide we are using says we need to create a "ConfigMgr application using our SSP.XAP"

I've spent a lot of time looking into trying to get the ConfigMgr application to do this but reached a lot of dead ends.

Would you be able to advise me as to what the next steps are?

 

Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

Answer 4

Hi, I am having the same problem as you were getting my certificate signed. I have not been able to figure it out. You say that you were able to successfully sign the cert. How did you do that I'm stuck.

Thanks!
