      The Windows App Certification Kit lets you test your app before you submit it to the Windows Store. As part of this performance testing, the Windows App Certification Kit generates native images for all the Windows metadata (.winmd) files in your app package. This makes sure that the process of automatically generating native images doesn't fail on the user's computer. All .winmd files are tested, even if they aren't part of a Windows Runtime component that's written in managed code. This is to make sure that the Windows metadata can be consumed by all languages. This tool identifies known issues for Windows 8 Release Preview. For more information, including a list of known issues and their solutions, see KB2716152.
