You should not include _StoreKey.pfx file to your public repo. However you can still use AppVeyor CI.

1.Change your *.csproj file to include this information.

    _TemporaryKey.pfx


    

2.Import your _StoreKey.pfx certificate to: store location - Current User, Certificate store - Personal

3.Add UseTemporarySignCert environment variable with value true to your AppVeyor project.

As result you will be able to build signed project by your own without _StoreKey.pfx in release mode and publish then to the store. And AppVeyor will work with TemporaryKey.pfx.
