Unable to create Windows 8.1 Apps Using Qt Libs

haris123

I am trying to test an app I've created with Qt in Windows 8.1. And created deployable binary based on Qt Docs. I've followed how to create package manifest on Windows Dev site, and created appx package using below command.

@MakeAppx.exe pack /d C:/Users/user1/Documents/MyApp_Win-Sep-27-2014 /p C:/Users/user1/Documents/MyApp.appx@

Then I've self signed the package using SignTool.exe and these commands.

@MakeCert /n CN=myComp,O=myComp,L=miami,S=florida,C=us /r /h 0 /eku "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3,1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.13" /e 10/13/2014 /sv vKey.pvk vKey.cer -r

Pvk2Pfx /pvk vKey.pvk /pi 123 /spc vKey.cer /pfx vKey.pfx /po 123

SignTool sign /a /v /fd SHA256 /f vKey.pfx /p 123 C:/Users/user1/Documents/MyApp.appx

Certutil -addStore TrustedPeople vKey.cer@

But when I try to start my app, it just shows the splash screen only and nothing else.

Also. here is my AppManifest.xml, which I've created manually I'm not sure what should I specify for Entry Point in this.

@<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
