Windows 8 Publishing on a Mac

in Working with GS (Mac)
I'm running Gamesalad on a Mac. I was able to publish and submit my Gamesalad application to the Windows 8 dev center. However, shortly after submission, I received the following message from Microsoft:

Technical compliance: failed
This tests your app with the Windows App Certification Kit. You can also run this the test locally from the SDK. Learn more
One or more of the Windows App Certification Kit tests failed. Test your app with the Windows App Certification Kit on your computer to get more detailed info about this error.
Your app failed one or more of the Windows App Certification Kit tests. Verify that you have Windows App Certification Kit version 2.0.9200, and ensure that your app passes all tests. You can find which version you are using either in the title bar or in the test results.

Since I don't have a PC I'm unable to run the test which the message recommends. At this point I have no idea what the problem is. Can anyone shed light on my situation?

From what I read in the "Introducing Windows 8 and Windows Store Support!" thread ( http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/49323/introducing-windows-8-and-windows-store-support/p1 ) it sounds as though it's possible to submit without having a PC.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    You need to run that kit to find out what is failing, there are like 10 tests it runs. I suggest downloading an eval / msdn / buying a copy of windows8 and running it in parallels. You'll need it for testing anyways.

    Why would you bump a nearly year old thread just to troll it??
