This tag is used for posts related to the Windows ACK (App Certification Kit) and its use in the various app certification programs for Windows operating systems. Windows ACK provides guidelines for developers for using the kit and the associated certification processes

Description

The Windows App Certification Kit (ACK) is used to validate compliance with certification requirements, and replaces the Windows Software Logo Kit (WSLK) used for validation in the Windows 7 Software Logo program. Desktop, desktop device, and Windows Store apps can be certified; however, plug-in, ActiveX, and other web apps cannot be certified. The Windows ACK is included in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) and the Windows SDK for Windows Store apps.

Certification, while highly recommended, is not a requirement for running a desktop app under Windows 8, but it is required in order to list a desktop app in the Windows Store. Both Windows 7 and Windows 8 apps must use the new Windows App Certification Kit to become certified and eligible for sale in the Windows Store. Certification is embedded in the Windows Store onboarding process.

Requirements

There are 12 requirements for desktop certification and 9 requirements for Windows Store app certification. The online self-test and submission of results for desktop apps takes less than 45 minutes, and for Windows Store apps takes less than 20 minutes.
