How do I create timestamp url or where can I find free timestamp url for MSIX app packages

When I self sign my app packages, visual studio only allows me to create a security certificate that is valid for one year. How can I create a timestamp url or where can I find a free timestamp url to ensure the MSIX package can be installed, even after the used signing certificate has expired? enter image description here

Update:

I tried many urls I could find online, most of them gave me the error:

SignTool Error: The specified timestamp server either could not be reached or returned an invalid response.

Finally I found one (http://timestamp.comodoca.com) that worked from this article https://support.comodo.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/68/0/time-stamping-server

Solution

  • Try one of these, we checked them a few months ago and all worked:
