Windows 10: UWP App certification

I have two projects in my app. One of the projects contains the pre-built OpenCV binaries. This project is built as a DLL. The other is managed code and built as .EXE During certification, I get the following errors :

Windows security features test

FAILED
Binary analyzer

• Error Found: The binary analyzer test detected the following errors:
  • File C:\Program Files\windowsapps\40008stampanalyser.stampanalyser_1.0.0.0_x86__c0kghch5qhmpy\opencv_core310.dll has failed the AppContainerCheck check.
  • File C:\Program Files\windowsapps\40008stampanalyser.stampanalyser_1.0.0.0_x86__c0kghch5qhmpy\opencv_imgproc310.dll has failed the AppContainerCheck check.
• Impact if not fixed: If the app doesn’t use the available Windows protections, it can increase the vulnerability of the customer's computer to malware.
• How to fix: Apply the required linker options - SAFESEH, DYNAMICBASE, NXCOMPAT, and APPCONTAINER - when you link the app. See links below for more information:
  Fixing Binary Analyzer Errors

I have set all the flags, including APPCONTAINER for the project that is build as a DLL and contains the above open CV binaries.

Any help in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks

Cortana is an integral part of Windows and she cannot be entirely turned off. However, if you don’t want Cortana functionality available to you on your taskbar, I would suggest you to follow these steps:
Manage Cortana settings.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

 

Certain apps are crashing upon start. App reset, re-installation nothing seems to help. Any fixes?

The app in question are as follows:

• Engadget UWP
• Windows Central UWP
• CNET (Windows 8 App)

These were working fine in AU.

I have tried App reset and re-installation from store. Nothing seems to help.

Any suggestions?
