VS2015 + Cordova + HockeyApp +Windows Mobile

Anyone have experience/documentation integrating the HockeyApp SDK into a VS2015 Community Windows 10 Mobile Cordova app and adding the version to the HockeyApp dashboard?

When I use HockeyApp on my Windows device, I see the following error when I try to install This App cannot be installed over the air.

I packaged the app using Project > Store > Create App Packages and uploaded the .aapx from the AppPackages. I select no when the wizard asks if Do you want to build packages to upload to the Windows Phone Store? enter image description here

Any thoughts?

In addition, When I upload the release apk, or aapx I get the following on the HockeyApp dashboard. No statistics found. Please integrate HockeySDK to collect analytics, crash reports, and feedback: enter image description here

Note: I am using the cordova-hockeyapp-plugin for Android and IOS. https://github.com/wnyc/cordova-plugin-hockeyapp

Solution

  • This App cannot be installed over the air. error appears because an .aetx is required. An .aetx is generated using a purchased Enterprise Mobile Code Signing Certificate from Symantec Corp and AetGenerator.exe

    However, if you want to use the native HockeyApp for sideloading on the device, you'll still get This App cannot be installed over the air.

    Note: An .aetx is not necessary for sideloading Windows 10 mobile apps. Unfortunately, the native HockeyApp does not have the ability to download and install the app for sideloading. Instead, the app should be download and sideloaded to the device via the web ui.

    Solution:

    • Purchase Symantec Certificate to create .aetx

    or

    • Sideload apps using the HockeyApp web ui.

    Hope this helps!
