Is there a particular process/steps to go through in order to digitally sign the Electron.net app? Were there particular settings in the Electron.Manifest.json that can be updated?
I am creating a Windows application - just for distribution amongst some customers - and currently you get various warnings about installing the app.
Has anyone signed the outputted app? I was hoping for some pointers....
Thanks in advance.

I have signed my electron application on Windows with an Code Signing Certificate. According to https://www.electron.build/code-signing, the app will show "a warning during installation that goes away once enough users installed your application and you've built up trust".
My question is, what is the number range of users that have to install my application in order for my certificate to be trusted?
This is crucial for us since we are launching a beta this week and would like to avoid showing the message.
I have an Ionic application, which is currently deployed to the Apple and Android stores. I Now wish to deploy to the Windows store. I have Visual Studio 2015 and have built running the Ionic CLI. I see a lot of created files, including a CordovaApp.Windows10_1.0.0.43_x86.appx
For iOS, the signing is handled via the xcode / developers console, and for Android I created using the keytool which is part of the JDK. Now for Windows..
I have found this on certificates, and this on signing.
I just want to see if I have this understanding correct before I do anything.... so unlike the iOS and Android, where I can just sign, with no extra cost, for the UWP, you actually need to purchase a certificate, just like you do for SSL, to use for the signing of a UWP? Also the app uses SSL (makes https calls to a server via SSL) - not sure if this makes any difference to the certificate required (as when I ran in debug, the https call seemed to be blocked).
Thanks in advance for any information!

No, you don't need to purchase an certificate to publish your app to store. You only need to create a certificate for package signing, for details, please refer to Create a certificate for package signing. Then you can sign your app using SignTool, please refer to Sign an app package using SignTool.
After that, when you are submitting your app, you will need to have a developer account, which requires some monetary cost,
I'm having some serious trouble signing an application for ad-hoc distribution. Is it possible to distribute an app with the following requirements?:
Does not require tester to provide UUID up front
Outside app store
Utilizes entitlements such as VPN or Keychain Sharing
I ask because exporting without signing (Organizer (select archive) > Export > Export as Mac Application) fails with "embedded provisioning profile not valid: ..." on some devices. It appears to work on others though.
Thank you!
If you're trying to use the NetworkExtension framework (which I'm assuming because you tagged your question with nevpnmanager,) unfortunately that's only available in App Store apps.
I know this because I asked Apple. I was trying to make a non App Store NEVPN app, but no dice. Quinn from Developer Tech Support told me the NEVPN stuff is only available for App Store apps, and that I should file a bug report (which I think I did.)
I have developed a hybrid application for Windows 8.1 that I want to submit to the app store. As the app package requirements, it does not look at like I need to sign my package using any a trusted certificate.

I am using VS 2013 to create my project and my app package. Is the default certificate enough ?
Can some one who has submitted apps for approval, please speak about their experience regarding the app signing and if/how one can get this certificate.
Answering my own question, I was able to submit the app. I was able to sign the app once I linked my store account.
I am going to submit my application for Mac App Store, and I am confused about enabling entitlements.
In Apple developer guide for configuring your app for mac App store, it does not say if it is required, or its just better to do it.
I am not using iCloud or push notifications (and are not enabled in my App ID).
I am not going to enable Sandboxing before 1st of March.
I sign my executable with the appropriate Apple Application Certificate and my installer with Installer certificate.
I am following the File-System Usage Requirements for the Mac App Store guide lines.
Last time my binary was accepted, but application was rejected in review due to some other violation.
My question is, will my app get rejected if I do not check the Enable Entitlements checkbox in Xcode. If I enable it, the second option is if I want to enable Sandbox which I do not, so it seems irrelevant.
I found this answer which says its not required but its for iOS.
Can someone confirm?
Thanks in Advance.
No it is not needed. My App was approved without Enabling entitlements. But, it will be needed once I start using Push notifications, Sandboxing, or iClouds.
