I guess we have to wait until Microsoft approves the certificate. I was hoping that wasn't needed as the install worked on my local machine. Till then you should use the.zip to start the application.

Would be nice to mention this at the project readme. With that, i believe this issue can be closed :)

Yes, you are right. I uploaded the misx for the first time in the release 1.3.0 so it is pretty new :)

Also it seems each version/build has to be signed + approved by Microsoft for the certificate to be working.

I will update this issue once they are done with it so lets see if that works.

Update: they processed it so please try again.

Still same error

So I have read up on this and I mixed up how the certification process works. Microsoft signs the package again with their own certificate, after uploading. Even though it is already signed.

So I only see the way that users would have to install the certificate first or allow untrusted sources for apps.

I just added the certificate to the release assets (wsl2-distro-manager-v1.3.1-public-certificate.cer) so you could probably install the app once you added that certificate.

Edit: I removed the msix for now.
