WP8 - This package is using an app name that hasn't been reserved for this app

Question

I am submitting Windows Phone 8 app to app store, when I click on Review And Submit I get the Error : This package is using an app name that hasn't been reserved for this app

In my WPAppManifest.xml file :

Display Name is : GS Value // just an example

Here GS has full form as Global Service, if I use this name in app list screen the text cuts so I have made it as GS Value.

And when I am submitting the app I have reserved the name as Global Service : Value.

So my Display name in WPAppManifest.xml and my Reserve name should be same? And also what is the use of Package identity name ?

How can I fix this ?

Answer 1

So my Display name in WPAppManifest.xml and my Reserve name should be same?

R. Yes. It has to be the same name in your App Manifest Package.

The Name field from Identity is the name of the package and you can use DisplayName to display the the name to users.
