Distribute apcahe corvoa windows 10 cause error Either you need a new certificate installed for this app package, or you need a new app

enter image description here

i have build ionic apache cordova app using visual studio 2015 , below is my ionic app info

Cordova CLI: 6.4.0

Ionic App Lib Version: 2.1.7

ios-deploy version: Not installed

ios-sim version: Not installed

OS: Windows 10

Node Version: v6.9.1

according to cordova documentation

Signing is required for distributing and installing Windows Store apps. This process is normally handled by Visual Studio when you deploy a package for release

here is content of my build.json 

{
  "windows": {
    "release": {
      "packageCertificateKeyFile": "res\\native\\windows\\CordovaApp.pfx"
    }
  }
}

and here is output of build in windows explorer enter image description here

and here the content of CordovaApp.Windows10_1.0.0.1_x86_Test folder

enter image description here

i have enabled sideLoading in windows enter image description here but whenever i run the app i get theis error

so what is wrong with the app , and how can i distribute it without windows app store .

thanks.

Looks like you need to import this certificate on this machine, please follow these steps:

  1. In File Explorer, right click an appx that you've signed with a test cert and choose Properties from the context menu.
  2. Click or tap the Digital Signatures tab.
  3. Click or tap on the certificate and choose Details.
  4. Click or tap View Certificate.
  5. Click or tap Install Certificate.
  6. In the Store Location group, select Local Machine.
  7. Click or tap Next and OK to confirm the UAC dialog.
  8. In the next screen of the Certificate Import Wizard, change the selected option to Place all certificates in the following store.
  9. Click or tap Browse. In the Select Certificate Store window, scroll down and select Trusted People and click or tap OK.
  10. Click or tap Next. A new screen appears. Click or tap Finish.
  11. A confirmation dialog should appear. If so, click OK. If a different dialog indicates that there is a problem with the certificate, you may need to do some certificate troubleshooting.
  12. Double-click .appx to install

From the error message there is something wrong with your certificate file. Please remake your .pfx file following the steps by How to create an app package signing certificate.

By Cordova App there is something to notice: Please make sure the publisher name is identical with your app's publisher name(it's "[Country Code]=Apache Cordova Team" by default.).
