Desktop App Converter/Submit to Windows Store

I have an older application that I've converted using Microsoft's "Desktop App Converter" to create a UWP application. The application appears to convert fine, and I can install and run it on my local machine. Unfortunately, when I try to submit the application to the Windows App Store, I get the following errors:

Package acceptance validation error: We don't allow the capability you've specified: runFullTrust.

Package acceptance validation error: You don't have permissions to specify the following namespaces in the appx manifest file of the package DownloadManager.appx: http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10/restrictedcapabilities.

Are there any ideas what is causing this and what the fix is?

I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise Preview Version 1511, Build 14352.1002

How do I distribute my UWP app?

If you are distributing your app via the Microsoft Store, Visual Studio can associate your package with the Store. To do this, right-click your project name in Solution Explorer and choose Publish->Associate App with the Store (before Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, the Publish menu is named Store).

According to this article from the official blog, you cannot submit your Centennial apps to the Store just yet. You have to follow the process they mention in their article:

Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK Now Available! Windows Store Open for Submissions

"Windows Store Open for Submissions; Including Process for Submitting Desktop Bridge Apps:

In addition, we will begin the process of accepting apps using the Desktop Bridge. While we build the pipeline into the Windows Store to publish these apps, our team will work directly with developers to get their converted apps and games into the Windows Store. Contact our team here if you are interested in submitting an app using the Desktop Bridge to the Windows Store."
