Checking Your Signed Application:

If you're new to code signing, it's advisable to verify that your application has been signed correctly to avoid issues during distribution. Follow these steps to confirm:

1. Navigate to the folder containing the application you signed earlier.
2. Right-click the application and select "Properties."

3. In the properties window, click the "Digital Signatures" tab. This should display your company's code signing certificate.
4. If the "Digital Signatures" tab is missing, return to the signing tool, as your application has not been successfully signed.

After verifying that your Extended Validation Code Signing certificate is displayed on your application, you can proceed to package your application for distribution.
