You have to register your app with the Windows (Phone) Store

If you create a new app from scratch and try to use the Live SDK, you're going to get an unhandled exception when you try to authenticate. This is because you have to register your app with the Windows/Windows Phone store. This is easy to do in Visual Studio 2013 by right clicking your Project > Store > Associate app with the store... and following the wizard.

I wasted a couple of hours trying to figure this out, because as far as I can tell it's not actually documented anywhere, and the SDK samples "just work" with no indication that this is a prerequisite.

This is great feedback about our documentation. I'll make sure we make some changes to get that fixed.

One other thing. you should probably mention that this process supersedes explicitly creating & setting the client id.

Or at least I assume it does, because what happened to client id and what you're supposed to do with your client id when you're converting a Windows Phone 8 (silverlight) app to a Windows Phone 8.1 (store) app with Live SDK 5.6 is also not written down anywhere.
