    Repackage UWP apps

    Goal: Mainly to transfer UWP apps from one PC to another without having to re-download them.
    (C’mon MS, wtf?! >.>)

    To run these commands, you will need the get the Windows 10 SDK and then open a command
    window at this location (Shift + Right-click):
    D:\Programs\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\
    (Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\)
    ========================================================================
    Steps:
    1. Copy the application you want from the WindowsApps directory and paste it somewhere
    like the desktop. In this instance, I will choose the Halo app. (C:\Program
    Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Tomp_1.0.2043.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe).
    2. Delete the 'AppxSignature.p7x' file from your copied application folder.
    3. Run this command to create an appx with those files from your copied application folder
    (This may take time depending on your computer’s specs and the size of the
    application.):
    - makeappx pack /d C:\Path\To\Your\Copied.Application_1.0.2043.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe /p
    C:\Users\You\Desktop\YourPackageName.appx /l
    4. You will now need to create a certificate for the appx in order for you to be able to install
    it to other PCs (and the PC you’re currently on). To create a certificate, follow these
    commands:
    //The name should be the same in AppxManifest.xml (<Identity …
    Publisher="CN=Meme, O=Meme, L=Address, S=City, C=AU")
    //Do not put a password in when it prompts you.
    - MakeCert /n "CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US" /r /h
    0 /eku "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3,1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.13" /e 12/20/2999 /sv MyKey.pvk MyKey.cer
    - Pvk2Pfx /pvk MyKey.pvk /spc MyKey.cer /pfx MyKey.pfx
    - SignTool sign /a /v /fd SHA256 /f MyKey.pfx C:\Users\You\Desktop\YourPackageName.appx

    5. Now the final step is to get your PC to trust your self-signed certificate so that you can
    install the appx. In order to do this, open CMD as administrator, and type this:
    - Certutil –addStore TrustedPeople “D:\Programs\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\MyKey.cer”

    Done.
    You can now install that appx on your computer. :3
    ========================================================================
    Note:
    - Changing the appid may cause the application to crash so it is not recommended.
    - This method will replace the original application with the new modified application
    you have just made. (Recommended to uninstall original application before installing
    the appx.)

    Common errors and how to fix them:


    - “Ask the app developer for a new app package. This one isn't signed with a trusted
    certificate (0x800B0100)”. You have not signed your appx package. Go to step 4.
    - “Either you need a new certificate installed for this app package, or you need a new
    app package with trusted certificates. Your system administrator or the app
    developer can help. A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate
    which isn't trusted (0x800B0109)”. Your computer hasn’t installed the self-signed
    certificate you signed your appx package with. Go to step 5.
    - “To install this app, turn on sideloading mode in Settings > Update & security > For
    developers. If you can't turn it on, ask your system administrator to unlock the
    machine for sideloading (0x80073CFF)”. You have not enabled sideloading. Follow
    the instructions to turn it on.
