Tizen Galaxy Active 2 - Sign and build with Visual Studio 2017

Question

I am trying to push an app I built with .net in visual studio 2017 (Windows 10) to my galaxy active watch.

No matter what I do, it says built with default certificates.

I set up my Samsung certificate with Certificate Manager

In VS, I connected my credentials also (Tools > Options > Tizen)

And I have the proper extension from Package Manager installed

I rebuilt the project and also tried form the CLI with no success. I am getting this error (from CMD) and this one (from VS)

What did I miss?

Answer 1

Solution was to delete any certificates made via the Tizen Certificate Manager. Make a new certificate and pick "Samsung", not "Tizen".

Then to jump back into Visual Studio 2017 (it didn't sign with the right certificates on 2019 for me). Next, click on the "Tools" menu and click "Options".

Here, I selected "Direct Registration", then I manually added the author, distributor certificates and passwords... and now I can debug apps with a physical device and no problems.

Answer 2

check "Sign the .TPK file using the following option"
