Publishing to the Windows Store

One of the main motivations for building a Windows Store app is to sell your app in the Windows Store for either fame or profit. In this section, I discuss the steps you need to follow to publish your Windows Store app to the Windows Store.

Note

You can distribute your app without publishing to the Windows Store by taking advantage of a feature called sideloading. In order to take advantage of sideloading, you must sign your app and configure the right group policy settings on the target computers. You can learn about sideloading by visiting http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852635.aspx.
