Expired certificate

Certificate expried, it was valid until 31.05.2026.

The certificate in the release is expired... :(

I tried to use this script, to generate a new one without success. It still says:

This app package’s publisher certificate could not be verified. Contact your system administrator or the app developer to obtain a new app package with verified certificates. The root certificate and all immediate certificates of the signature in the app package must be verified (0x800B010A)

✅ Locally compiled and installed. Worked perfectly! THANK YOU @Aemony

Yeah, Generate-SelfSignedCertificate.ps1 just generates a self-signed certificate and installs it locally. For an appropriate MSIX/AppX package to be created, the included Build-AppX.ps1 would have to be used as well. That creates an AppX package of the application files and then signs it using the aforementioned generated self-signed certificate.

Also, please note that I do not actually have any plans to resolving this by issuing a new self-signed certificate on my end. This repo was always intended to be experimental since the Cloudflare worker it relies on tends to break due to captcha blocks thrown on the search engine side of things, or just simple rate limitations.

It is basically not a scalable solution in its current form and I am actually surprised to see that some even manages to get some use out of it.

It is also worth noting that the functionality will stop working if I ever shut down the aforementioned Cloudflare worker, until someone spins up their own Cloudflare worker using the provided code in worker.js and redirects the calls in AppxManifest.xml to use their own CF worker instead.

I initially tried to get a local solution working that wouldn't be dependent on a Cloudflare proxy being available but sadly I never managed to figure that approach out. It would've been great if I had been able to do so though, since that would've also meant I would've been able to integrate Voidtool's great Everything results within the start menu as well.
