Hello everyone,
First we would like to apologize for the inconvenience that the failing cert has caused for any of you.
Next, We would like to let you know that the problem is now resolved. We had loaded the wrong cert into the latest site revision, which is now fixed.
Please go ahead and load the cert again, and it will now allow you to properly load it as well as your app package.
Again we are very sorry for the inconvenience.

When attempting to sideload Windows App Studio Beta apps using the Installable Package, some devices are returning a "Can't Install Company App" error. We are investigating and will resolve the error shortly. In the meantime, you can sideload Publish Packages using the Windows Phone SDK deployment tool.

Making the move to the Windows Phone Store?
Now that you've used App Studio to jump start building your killer app, are you ready to launch it to the world on the Windows Phone Store? Before you go, make sure you've scrubbed out any leftover template items.
If your app uses template images or titles, still has placeholder text (like [insert name here]) or uses template metadata (such as the icon, long description or keywords), it won't meet app certification requirements. Use a template to learn how to do it, then change it into your app, and you'll be off to a good start on your way to the store.
Here's a handy checklist of examples to remember.
Use:
- Your own titles
- Your own iconography (app Logo, Pin to start tile)
- Your own long description
Don’t use:
- Template placeholder text ([insert name here])
- Template app content
Have fun building your app in Windows Phone App Studio, and we'll see you in the Windows Phone Store!

To publish your app on Windows Phone Store and share it with the world, you need three things:
A) Your signed .XAP file (created for you in Windows Phone App Studio after you've generated your app by Download Publish Package)
B) Your app tile in 300x300 PNG format (same one you already created as your 'app icon' in the 'describe your app section of Windows Phone App Studio)
C) At least one screenshot in 768X1280 PNG format (this is not created automatically, so here you go. You can create this in many methods, but this is one way to do it without opening visual studio)
1) Install your app on your device by scanning the QR code generated in Windows Phone App Studio.
2) Launch your app and take a few screenshots of the app by pressing the Power button and the Start button.
3) Find those screenshots in your "albums" under "screenshots" then save to your SkyDrive.
4) Download from Skydrive and open with Paint.
5) In Paint resize (under Home) to 768X1280 pixels if needed
6) When you are ready publish in Dev Center and you have to "upload images", just use WXGA option and check "Automatically create lower resolution screenshots from WXGA"
You can also do this using the emulator or the snipping tool. Check it out at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/gg442300(v=vs.105).aspx.
Now, you are ready to publish at https://dev.windowsphone.com/publish
Community, please reply if you have a better way to do this. I'm all ears!
