Deploying Windows app directly to Surface without going through the store

Question

I’ve built a windows app using Cordova and I want to deploy it privately on my Window Surface Pro.

I can deploy it for testing purposes with the developer certificate that is being generate automatically, but it’s only valid for 90 days. Is there a way to premaritally deploy apps on Surface Pro or at least extend the 90 days period?

Thanks

You want to go in Project -> Windows Store -> Create Application Packages

Then select "No" on the first page. You can leave everything else as it is and click next and create.

This will give you 2 files which you need to copy to your Windows Surface. Once this is done go look in the folder that was created and run the Powershell situated inside. Your application is now installed on your device
