Windows Store app test certificate expired

Suddenly, when running a build of my Windows Store app I got the error.

error APPX0108: The certificate specified has expired. For more information about renewing certificates, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=241478

There is a link to the Renewing a certificate page but it's just a circular reference.

You have to create a new certificate:

  • Open the Package.appxmanifest
  • Select the Packaging tab
  • Click Choose Certificate
  • Click Create
    • Enter your existing publisher name
    • A password
  • Agree to replace the certificate

Then you can update your microsoft store app
