I want to sign the VSIX extension with my EV code signing cert. I found a command to sign my extension using WSIXSignTool, but this command is only for the OV code signing cert, not for EV. This command below doesn't work with the EV code signing cert. So I need to sign my vsix extension with the EV code signing cert. I need help with that.
VSIXSignTool.exe sign /f <certfile> /p <password> <VSIXfile>

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Yes, the VSIXSignTool works with regular Code Signing Certificate, not EV Code Signing Certificate. If you are using VSIXSignTool to sign the VSIX extension you don’t need EV code signing certificate.
