App manifest compliance test–failed.

  • Article

 

When I ran the Windows App Certification test kit if failed on the App manifest compliance test.  I’ve included this section of the report below (see below the image found below).  As I did a bit of research I realized that I had app logos with white (#FFFFFE) as their background color.  I had selected the Light for the Foreground text color.  Basically I had white on white so the text was not visible.  I changed the foreground test to Dark (see screen shot below) and the text on the logos became visible and I passed the cert test.
