Windows app certification kit 2.2 fails to find any apps to validate

Question

I'm running windows 8 and visual studio express for windows 8.

I have created an app and had it successfully submitted to the app store.

I am now working on a second app and getting ready to submit it. However, I just updated to the latest win8 SDK and to Windows app certification kit 2.2. Ever since I updated, I have been unable to run the cert kit.

Whenever I run the cert kit as part of the 'create app packages' I get the following error. I find it interesting that my first app gets the same behavior.

The {0} cannot continue testing since the specified Windows Store App was not found. Please verify the packagefullname is correct.

So, I try running the Windows App Certification kit 2.2 in stand-alone mode. When I select to certify windows store app, it thinks for a bit and then returns with an empty list of applications.

I found the following link wack doesn't see my app and followed the steps but still no joy.

Can you please confirm that you are using the RTM build of Windows 8? This was a bug discovered in pre-RTM builds that should have been fixed for RTM.
