Package validation for MSI/EXE app

You can validate your app packages against Microsoft Store policy section 10.2 Security before you submit it for review. Manual validation helps reduce validation delay by fixing validation failures before you submit your app for review.

To run the validation checks, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Manage Packages page.
  2. Click the Run next to the app package you'd like to validate in the packages table. This starts the validation checks.

To run the validation again on the same package, you need to update either the package binary or the silent install parameter.
