Hi guys, I click on a link in my application profile and the gamesalad was launched. I was stuck in this App signing settings and i waited for quite long and nothing appears. The next button was disabled also. What should I do?

Can you post a screenshot?

I'm not sure what you are doing based on the description

You can't sign a win8 app on a Mac, are you sure that's what you are trying to do? All you do is download the win8 zip file, it doesn't open GS at all.

This is a quote from SaladStraightShooter Head Chef

" Mac users will also be able to publish directly to the Win8 Store even if they do not have a computer running Windows, though testing will require a Windows device. "

So why I can't sign a app on a mac? I have the same issue, still no next button available.

Same issue here... Win 8 compilation freeze on: "App Signing Settings", also when i generate the app, i have to refresh the browser to phisically start the download process, it does not refresh by itself.

@SaladStraightShooter do not you think it is necessary to include the procedure of publication in the cookbook?

I'm just getting into gear for Win 8 and Android publishing - the Android cookbook stuff is really helpful, but can't find anything for Windows 8 publishing.

Which makes it more than just a bit of a headache!

Hey @quantumsheep I found this forum post that has a PDF that might be helpful. I haven't started publishing to Windows yet, but it looks like it will be useful......

@quantumsheep this is from another thread.

Second post is a very good documentation on Windows 8 publishing... http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/49622/windows-8-app-signing

And for package i.d. @jonmulcahy saves the day in this second post... http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/49323/introducing-windows-8-and-windows-store-support/p5

The two posts really helped me understand windows 8 publishing and more importantly testing. Publishing is basically like everything else. And as previously stated, a windows machine is not required to publish. Only to actually test.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look!

During the "Usage" stage of the PDF guide in order to try an AdHoc test.

If anyone gets the following error when you put in the key "xxx":

"Could not find the file 'xxxCertificate.cer'

Try a reinstall of the Windows 8 SDK and/or Visual Studio 2012 Express

This solved the issue for me.

I know have the problem where the app signer says 'Could not find the file 'mygreatgamePFX.pfx'
