I have an older application that I've converted using Microsoft's "Desktop App Converter" to create a UWP application. The application appears to convert fine, and I can install and run it on my local machine. Unfortunately, when I try to submit the application to the Windows App Store, I get the following errors:
Package acceptance validation error: We don't allow the capability you've specified: runFullTrust.
Package acceptance validation error: You don't have permissions to specify the following namespaces in the appx manifest file of the package DownloadManager.appx: http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10/restrictedcapabilities.
Are there any ideas what is causing this and what the fix is?
I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise Preview Version 1511, Build 14352.1002
According to this article from the official blog, you cannot submit your Centennial apps to the Store just yet. You have to follow the process they mention in their article:
Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK Now Available! Windows Store Open for Submissions
"Windows Store Open for Submissions; Including Process for Submitting Desktop Bridge Apps:
In addition, we will begin the process of accepting apps using the Desktop Bridge. While we build the pipeline into the Windows Store to publish these apps, our team will work directly with developers to get their converted apps and games into the Windows Store. Contact our team here if you are interested in submitting an app using the Desktop Bridge to the Windows Store."
You can find in this article Preparing your desktop app for conversion to UWP features that should be removed from codebase.
As I see there is one Your app always runs with elevated security privileges.
Check this one ar may be your app contains some another feature from list

As title, I have an electron-based app with some native npm dep. And one of then (sharp) didn't pass the Windows Store review because of crash on Win10 S mode. I can't find an option to disable Win10 S mode support in dev console, and I asked MS review team twice, no any response. I can't drop the dep because it's core function. If the app just show a 'not support' page when Win10 S mode, can it pass the review? Or there are some way to disable Win10 S mode support?
No, if you plan to publish your application to the Microsoft Store, make sure that your application operates correctly on devices that run Windows 10 S. This is a Store requirement.
You could see this requirement in the official document:Distribute your application by publishing it to the Microsoft Store
VS 2015, Xamarin Forms, PCL.
I can attach my Android phone by cable, and install to it. I can run "Local Machine" on my windows 10 development machine and test there. I want to give a copy of the UWP project to someone else to test with (on Windows 10 desktop). This is a new application, not in any stores, so...how to do this? Can it be done without using store distribution, and if so, can someone tell me how to do this, or point me to a link that documents this?
You could create package (like for publishing to store) and then with PowerShell install it on another PC. Packaging UWP apps
You can limit the distribution of an app to only a certain group of testers, without first publishing a submission that's broadly available, you can use the same app submission process as any app you submit. To allow only certain people to get the app free of charge, and prevent other customers from seeing its listing or downloading it - read more about Beta testing and targeted distribution
I want to install an windows store application programmatically from UWP application. I am able to redirect to the Windows store application page but what i want is the application should install automatically from store. Is there any to achieve this in UWP?
Thanks in advance.
Yes it is, but such app need Package Policy Control capability (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/app-capability-declarations). Also you must have direct access to appx package of app to install. Then you can use PackageManager class. But this app can't be pushed to Windows store without special permission from MSFT or you must use sideloading (installing without Windows store). So it's almost unusable...
I am making a windows 8 app for one of our clients. How can i share the app with them so that they can install it on their windows 8 phone and test it.
I tried sharing the xmp file, but when they try to install the app it says "Not a company app". I do have a windows dev company account with me, but not able to figure out how to get the app installed on my clients windows 8 phone.
Please help.
There are a few options to "ad-hoc" distribute your alpha/beta version:
Company app distribution for Windows Phone to read more about this option visit this link
You can publish the app to the Marketplace using the Hide from users browsing or searching the Store so it will be private, only users with a link will be able to access it
you can use the Beta app distribution (i believe there is a limit of few thousand users using a beta version, 10000 maybe? you have to add email addresses of users manually)
Windows Intune for Direct Management of Windows Phone devices. You can "distribute applications to users in either of the following ways: External link or Software installer

I have developed a windows phone 8 application. I have a developer account and unlocked device. Now I'm able to deploy/install the application in my phone through windows phone development sdk.
Now I want to install this application in another device ( a device of my friend, who is in different location). I don't want to put this application in the app store. I want to mail the XAP file only to him. So is there any other way to install this (XAP file) application in his mobile.
I am looking forward your responses.
Thanks.
Are you aware of the Windows Phone's Beta testing. You can push your app to the store in BETA test mode and can specify the testers Microsoft emails ids, so that only those people can install and test the app. The app won't be publicly accessible. and AFAIK, you cannot install unsigned XAP's in un-unlocked devices.
For more details check this : Beta testing your app
Please Refer this link,
I think this will solved your query.
Using this you can install a .xap file in windows phone easily.

I hope you will get the answer.
