Hi Guanghui,
Thank you for your answer. That document shows the steps, but following them closely I still couldn't get the build procedure to sign the files. I used the thumbprint method and I had to do this in the customization.settings file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="">schemas.microsoft.com/.../2003">
<Import Project="retailPackagePaths.settings" Condition="Exists('retailPackagePaths.settings') AND $(PkgMicrosoft_Dynamics_Commerce_Runtime) == ''"/>
<PropertyGroup>
<MSBuildAllProjects>$(MSBuildAllProjects);$(MSBuildThisFileFullPath)</MSBuildAllProjects>
<ISVCustomizationSettingsHasBeenImported>true</ISVCustomizationSettingsHasBeenImported>
<!-- This section is for global settings and code signing. Any built file will inherit these values if applicable. Package manifest files will
also use these values during package generation. -->
<AssemblyNamePrefix Condition="'$(AssemblyNamePrefix)' == ''">HF</AssemblyNamePrefix>
<CustomAssemblyVersion Condition="'$(CustomAssemblyVersion)' == ''">1.0.0.0</CustomAssemblyVersion>
<CustomVersion Condition="'$(CustomVersion)' == ''">1.0.0.1</CustomVersion>
<CustomName Condition="'$(CustomName)' == ''">HF Retail Customization</CustomName>
<CustomDescription Condition="'$(CustomDescription)' == ''">HF Retail Customization</CustomDescription>
<CustomPublisher Condition="'$(CustomPublisher)' == ''">CN=Some Company, LLC</CustomPublisher>
<CustomPublisherDisplayName Condition="'$(CustomPublisherDisplayName)' == ''">Some Company, LLC</CustomPublisherDisplayName>
<CustomCopyright Condition="'$(CustomCopyright)' == ''">Copyright © 2020</CustomCopyright>
<SignAssembly Condition="'$(SignAssembly)' == ''">false</SignAssembly>
<DelaySign Condition="'$(DelaySign)' == ''">false</DelaySign>
<AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile Condition="'$(AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile)' == '' and '$(SignAssembly)' == 'true'">$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)\strongnamekey.snk</AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile>
<!--
The name of the cert must match the name of the publisher of the package which is the same as the CustomPublisher above.

The sample cert was generated like this:
MakeCert /n "CN=Contoso Ltd." /r /h 0 /eku "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3,1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.13" /e ""12/31/2037"" /sv appxsignkey.pvk appxsignkey.cer
empty password as just for testing (Optional parameters for password protected cert [/pi "Password" /po "password"])
Pvk2Pfx.exe /pvk appxsignkey.pvk /spc appxsignkey.cer /pfx appxsignkey.pfx /pi ""
To use signing cert from certificate store, add thumbprint of the certificate below to ModernPOSPackageCertificateThumbprint property and
comment out ModernPOSPackageCertificateKeyFile property.
If certificate being used is password protected, then this method must be used.
Use the following command get the Thumpprint of the certificate
powershell Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\CurrentUser\My
ModernPOSPackageCertificateThumbprint cannot be used in VSTS builds, because the certificate can't be installed on the VSTS hosted machines.
Instead the certificate must be restored to the file system using a secret manager, such as Azure KeyVault, and the argument ModernPOSPackageCertificateKeyFile should specify the path to the certificate.
When consuming the signing certificate via ModernPOSPackageCertificateKeyFile, leave the ModernPOSPackageCertificateThumbprint variable empty.

To generate a self-signed Code Signing Certificate, use the following Powershell command:
New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\CurrentUser\My -Subject "CN=Contoso Ltd." -KeyAlgorithm RSA -KeyLength 2048 -KeyExportPolicy Exportable -KeyUsage DigitalSignature -Type CodeSigningCert
You can use the following Powershell command to get the thumbprint:
Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\CurrentUser\My
