ERROR_CAPAUTHZ_SCCD_DEV_MODE_REQUIRED
The descriptor is development-only on this device
ERROR_CAPAUTHZ_SCCD_DEV_MODE_REQUIRED indicates that the supplied custom-capability descriptor is not suitable for normal production deployment and relies on Developer Mode acceptance. Samples and development descriptors can be deliberately invalid or limited so developers can test integration without possessing production authorization.
Decide whether this is a laboratory build or a distributable package. For local testing, enable Developer Mode only on the intended test device and understand the security change. For production, obtain a valid SCCD from the capability owner and use the authorized package identity and signing certificate. Enabling Developer Mode fleet-wide is not a substitute for production authorization.
What to inspect
- Identify whether the SCCD is explicitly a development artifact.
- Keep Developer Mode limited to controlled test systems.
- Acquire production authorization before enterprise or Store distribution.
