The concept of Universal apps lets you share common code targeting the Windows Runtime between a Windows Store app and a Windows Phone 8.1 app. However there are still some areas where there isn’t a 1:1 mapping. When using self-signed certificates with your Windows Runtime based Windows Phone 8.1 apps there is some complexity involved. This blog shows you how to reduce this complexity programmatically in your Windows Runtime based Windows Phone 8.1 project. To give a brief background, with Windows Store apps targeting Windows 8.1, you as an app developer have the capability of including self-signed root certificates with your app so that you do not have to bypass server certificate validation errors accessing HTTPS URLs (not that I am saying that bypassing server certificates is a great idea:), and in fact you should never ignore server certificate errors).

Hi Prashant, I have an issue during deployment, that is, the application certificate gets installed by default at 'User >Intermediate Certification Authorities” where as after doing some research I found that the application checks the certificate at 'Local Computer >Trusted Root Certification Authorities'. We are doing SideLoading, for this app using the DISM command.

Could you please advice as to how we can change the default location of the certificate using VS2013 else we will have to deploy the certificate using our CA, the path I do not wish to travel right now. @Alex Lipov – The System.Net.ServicePointManager (SPM) class is only available for desktop apps.

Install a Personal Certificate on a Windows Phone 8 Device. After you configure a Credentials profile for a certificate in the personal store, install the certificate.

The System.Net classes on the desktop have their own HTTP Protocol implementation and is different from the 'Silverlight' based classes available for the Phone which are based on WinINet based HTTP Protocol implementation. That's why you can't use the SPM class on the Phone @AJ – I am not quite sure how you can access the 'Local Computer' store from a Windows Store app, can you clarify your scenario/situation further or use the MSDN forums to clarify your question? @Mukesh Pandey – These classes are only available for Windows Phone 8.1, they cannot be used on Windows Phone 8.0. Punk O Rama Vol 4 Rar. @anil/ @nanu – Can you clarify what you mean by 'it is not working'? What does not work? Adding the certificate using the code above or something else?

I just tried adding a certificate using the code above to a 'Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1' based project and I did not encounter any errors/exceptions. Please, error accessing WP market store. Pleas analyze this info coming from my phone for me. Test Log // This log file describes test failures from the Production Self Test. // If you see this log file, it means that this device is not ready to ship // because some of the production self tests are failing. If this is a pre-production // device, this is an expected result and this file can be ignored (or deleted).

If this // is supposed to be a production ready device, check the log below to identify tests that // are failing, and see the Windows Phone documentation for information on how to fix the // issues identified by these tests. I followed these instructions precisely, the certificate appears to be added correctlybut my Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri); call doesn't runI don't get any errors adding the certificatebut I can tell you that dispite adding it to the trust storeedge. Still says it's invalid. IE says it's valid chrome says: The server did not supply any Certificate Transparency Information, the certificate for this site expires in 2017 or later and the certificate chain contains a certificate signed using SHA-1. Can you tell me what the requirements of a certificate are for Windows Universal?
