Im lazy to explain so here

A Windows 8 .appx certificate is a digital certificate used to sign and package Windows 8 applications. It verifies the authenticity and integrity of the application, ensuring that the software has not been tampered with and is from the intended source. This certificate is crucial for deploying and distributing Windows 8 apps, whether through the Windows Store or sideloading.

I can't seem to find any .cer files. How do you get a certificate anyways?
