Hi we have developed a Windows phone 8 mobile application using IBM worklight. For deploying the application to IBM App Center,application is not downloadable unless signed with Symantec/Microsoft. For this it costs me a lot 299$ + 99 $
The Windows Phone version of the mobile client is included as an unsigned Windows Phone application package (.xap) file in the software delivery. The IBMApplicationCenterUnsigned.xap file is in the ApplicationCenter/installer directory.
The unsigned .xap file cannot be used directly. You must sign it with your company certificate obtained from Symantec/Microsoft before you can install it on a device.
Optional: If necessary, you can also build the Windows Phone version from sources. To build the Windows Phone version, you must have the latest version of the Microsoft Visual Studio development tools.
It costs 99$ for windows Developer account and 299$ for
, with which i can sign the application and upload the Application Enrollment Token(AET-aetx) to IBM application center
Is there any alternative or this is the only way to sign the application. I explored that Microsoft trusts directly the Symantec but will i be able to sign it using some other certificate by IBM or any other sample certificates for deploying the application to IBM app center.
please suggest
IBM does not provide certificates for you. You need to buy a certificate...
