Hololens Build Errors

[saratrajput]

Hello, I'm following the Youtube guide to build the app for Hololens. I run into the following error:

InvalidOperationException: Certificate Assets/WSATestCertificate.pfx is expired and cannot be used for a UWP build. To fix this, either delete it or select a different certificate in the player settings.

A quick solution would be to create a new certificate from Project Settings -> Player -> Publishing Settings -> Create (under Expiration date)

Delete any old builds and build again.

Hi @saratrajput
Thanks for raising this issue. I'll have a look at it asap

Also, I forgot to mention one more thing. When you create the new certificate, leave the password section empty. Visual Studio might not be able to open the certificate otherwise.

I'll create a PR in a second with these changes. Thanks.

I'll close this issue for now, since I expect the issue to be solved on the latest master. If it still persists, please fell free to reopen it again.
