Bitcoin's Liquid Network - Unable to Broadcast PSET P2PKH issuance transaction using go-elements

Question

While working on go-elements I've been trying to expand on pset_test.go by implementing functions that broadcast different kinds of PSET transaction. Unfortunately I can't find many technical informations about this subject.
I'm trying to implement a test that Broadcasts a transaction created from a PSET that issues an asset, with P2PKH outputs for the asset, l-btc (for the change) and the fee.
The code I wrote is returning the error pset_test.go:324: Signature does not correspond to this input which is pretty self-explanatory but I'm not sure where I got it wrong. I would appreciate some help and also indication on technical resources that could help me understand this subject a bit better. Thank you

The error hints that you're not signing the transaction correctly. In fact, you're generating a signature with:

txHash := updater.Data.UnsignedTx.TxHash()
sig, err := privkey.Sign(txHash[:])

But the current transaction hash is not what you need to sign. Instead, you should use HashForSignature for legacy input types:

sigHash, err := updater.Data.UnsignedTx.HashForSignature(0, p2pkh.Script, txscript.SigHashAll)
if err != nil {
    t.Fatal(err)
}
sig, err := privkey.Sign(sigHash[:])

PS. Note that at the moment the Elements protocol does not allow you to use an input owned by a legacy scriptpubkey, therefore even if the transaction is well-formed it won't get accepted in mempool and included in the blockchain.
