Today, I finally got my first Windows 8 app into the marketplace. It was certainly not for a lack of trying, however. I actually failed my first FIVE attempts, but I chalk most of that up to inexperience more than anything else. This post is meant to shed some light on the issues I faced, so that you might be lucky enough to avoid them.
Windows App Certification Kit is WACK.

I would add 2 more: - Make sure to include privacy page in the windows charm/settings - check if your app runs in docked mode, and even if it does, cross your fingers and hold your breath. Overall I found Win8 store certification much more capricious and unpredictable then even iTunes which should say a lot.

I once got them saying that I had submitted my app to the wrong category and then when I resubmitted, it was fine.
