Publisher attribute of the Identity element in AppxManifest (Cordova)

I am trying to publish windows phone cordova application on windows store. I build application with:

cordova build widows --release

When upload, I am getting error

Package acceptance validation error: The Publisher attribute of the Identity element in the app manifest of file CordovaApp.xxx.appx is CN=$username$, which doesn't match your publisher ID: CN=xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

I tried associate app with defining next line config.xml:

  <preference name="windows-publisher-id" value="-appCN-" />

but there is stil:

 <Identity Name="xxx" Publisher="CN=$username$" Version="1.0.0.0" ProcessorArchitecture="neutral" />

in AppxManifest.xml after build. How can I specify CN value? (I am not using Visual Studio)

Solution

  • Try changing the Publisher attribute of the Identity tag in /platforms/windows/package.phone.appxmanifest

    EDIT: There is now a better solution (see cadesalaberry's answer below)
