electron-windows-store: How to correctly specify the data?

Question

I want to build a UWP application from exe (electron) using the electron-windows-store package.

What do I need to specify in the devCert, certPass, desktopConverter?

devCert. How do I get a certificate? I went to my account, created the application. Where to take this certificate? If I correctly understand the certificate give after checking the application, but to send the application for verification I need to build it, and for this I need a certificate.

certPass. What is it and where to get it?

desktopConverter. I found this app. This is what I need? If yes, which path to specify (this application from the store)

Update

I got a certificate using this manual. I've written all the data in the js file to create the application.

After that I ran the command to build the app:

PS C:\Users\steko\Desktop\AppX> node .\appx.js
Configuration:
Desktop Converter Location: C:\desktop-converter-tools
Expanded Base Image: C:\BaseImage.wim
Publisher: CN=developmentca

devCert. How do I get a certificate? I went to my account, created the application. Where to take this certificate? If I correctly understand the certificate give after checking the application, but to send the application for verification I need to build it, and for this I need a certificate.

According to the document, you could generate a certificate from the CLI tool. The certificate is used to sign the package you create so that you could sideload it on device and test it.

certPass. What is it and where to get it?

This is the password option for your cert. You could specify it by yourself when you create the certificate via this command.

desktopConverter. I found this app. This is what I need? If yes, which path to specify (this application from the store)

Yes. You could specify the tool in C:\\desktop-converter-tools.

Update

Is there a simple guide or lesson? A video example? I can not understand what exactly I need to do

Yes, you could refer to Distribute a packaged desktop app official document, And there is the non-store distribution video example in it.

Please provide more information about application certification

You could create your certificate and use it to sign your package by SignTool.exe.
