Getting into the Store - Learning Windows 8 Game Development - page 206

Creating your app packages
To do this, right click on your game project in Visual Studio and click on Create App
Packages inside the Store menu.
Once you do that, you'll be asked if you want to create a package for the store. The
difference between the two options comes down to how the package is signed. If you
choose No here, you can create a package with your test certificate, which can be
distributed for testing. These packages must be manually installed and cannot be sub-
mitted to the store. You can, however, use this type of package on other machines to
install your game for testers to try out. Choosing No will give you a folder with a .ps1
file (Powershell), which you can run to execute the install script.
Choosing Yes at this option will take you to a login screen where you can enter your
Windows Store developer account details. Once you've logged in you will be presen-
ted with a list of applications that you have registered with the store.
