Hi,
I'm trying to sign the .app file with the Azure Key Vault but the command provided by Microsoft seems to be wrong. Does anyone have updated command for the same?

this is the command provided by Microsoft which is not working https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-sign-extension#sign-an-app-package-file-with-azure-key-vault:~:text=Sign%20your%20apps%20by%20running%20one%20of%20the%20following%20commands%3A

I've handled the issue now. The issue is I haven't installed BC on my machine so faced that error because of some missing .dll windows files. So I installed BC OnPremises on my machine and so handled it.

thanks @Jainam M. Kothari @Khushbu Rajvi. @YUN ZHU

Hi @Khushbu Rajvi., thanks again. I've created an empty AL Project and tried to sign its .app file and still facing the same issue.

the below is the command provided by microsoft which is not working for me;

sign code azure-key-vault --azure-key-vault-url "https://MyKeyvault.vault.azure.net/" --azure-key-vault-certificate "NameOfMyCertificate" --azure-key-vault-managed-identity --description "Some Description" --description-url "<Description URL>" --verbosity Information "C:/Path/To/File(s)"

I have also tried AzureSignTool and its command as mentioned in the below blog which is also not working.

Hi, do one thing — create a new small extension and try using that .app file, just to check if the issue is with the current .app file. Please do this and then share the results.

@YUN ZHU @Khushbu Rajvi.

I can able to sign other type of files(.exe) using same command. Only the issue persists while signing .app file.
Kindly share any commands for signing .app file.

Its indicates issues with the file's validity or its certificate.

Ensure the .app file is correctly packaged, not corrupted, and is a valid Business Central extension. Check that the signing certificate is valid, trusted, and properly installed. If the file seems intact, verify that you're using the right version of Business Central.

Hi, I haven't heard of any issues with the sign command recently.
You can submit this feedback to Microsoft.

Thanks.
