Windows Developer - Uploading the signable file

We're trying to uploading the signable file in order to upload our windows app, in the Windows Developer Dashboard :

https://ibb.co/knRYZG

We created a certificate with the New-SelfSignedCertificate, and used SignTools to sign the SignableFile.bin. This part is okay but when we upload the file, we get this error :

Error: The code signing certificate authority (CA) you used isn’t on the approved list of root certificates. Please get a certificate from one of the CAs listed on the certificate info page.

Do you, please, have any idea ?

Thanks

They're telling you, essentially, that they want you to go out and buy a signing certificate from Symantec, Globalsign, or someone else they approve of or have licensing agreements of some sort with. Self signing / test signing is fine for internal testing, but for this they want you to show that you're a bit serious and part of a company or organization. (In reality it feels a lot like a shake down though ;) )
