This is the error I am getting when I try to create the app package.

  • I wonder if Signtool doesn't have permission to write there? Maybe try running VS as administrator? It could also be an issue where VS opens a stream to the file and doesn't close it. Try restarting VS. – Nate Diamond Oct 22 '14 at 17:45
  • It did not work. Same error as before: Error 8 Failed to sign 'C:\Users\samer.chemaly\Desktop\ACE-IPC\IPC-ACE_1.1.0.3_x86_Test\IPC-ACE_1.1.0.3_x86.appx'. SignTool Error: An unexpected internal error has occurred. IPC-ACE – Sam Oct 23 '14 at 05:57
  • The Thing is that if I try deploying the package of any other application new or old it works perfectly. Only this app is showing the mentioned issue. – Sam Oct 23 '14 at 08:24
  • Try setting the build output to Verbose, Detailed, or Diagnostic. This may give some more information on what the problem is. – Nate Diamond Oct 23 '14 at 17:11

The issue was strange! I recreated the app and started to create items page by page and item by item. The issue was in a presentation file available in the assets with and extension .exe The error that was showing is irrelevant at all but this is for you to know in case you face a similar issue. thank you :)
