MakeAppx fails with certificate issued to name with comma #103
Comments
Hey @FilipChalupa, did you find a resolution to this? I am also having issues because my published name contains quotes and commas. |
@jmcrthrs, I don't have any updates on that. (I was thinking about creating a new certificate without commas. 🤦♂️) |
Duplicate of #82 |

There's a lot of terminological/conceptual confusion in the current API. An .appx file should have an `AppXManifest.xml` which looks like the following, omitting unimportant elements: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Package ...> <Identity Name="12345MyCompany.MyApp" ... /> ... <Applications> <Application Id="MyApp" ...> ... </Application> </Applications> </Package> Notice that there are two separate identities: the Package Name, and the Application Id. When you run `electron-windows-store`, it generates an `AppXManifest.xml` from the config you supply. [The template is here](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/electron-windows-store/blob/master/template/appxmanifest.xml) and it looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Package ...> <Identity Name="${identityName}" ... /> ... <Applications> <Application Id="${packageName}" ...> ... </Application> </Applications> </Package> Notice in the variable names: it calls the package name `identityName`, and calls the application id `packageName`. These template variables are subtituted by the user-supplied config like so: lib/convert.js: result = result.replace(/\${identityName}/g, program.identityName || program.packageName) lib/convert.js: result = result.replace(/\${packageName}/g, program.packageName) This means, to create a correct `AppXManifest.xml`, you need to call it like so: const convertToWindowsStore = require('electron-windows-store'); convertToWindowsStore({ identityName: '19463Vidrio.Vidrio', // This is actually the package name! packageName: 'Vidrio', // This is actually the application id!! // ... }); This is very confusing, and has led to many tickets: electron-userland#82 electron-userland#114 electron-userland#103 electron-userland#120 The best way forward would be to introduce a separate `program.applicationId` config, which is used in preference to the `packageName`. What is the correct/recommended format for a package name? I created an account on [the Microsoft Partner Center](https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/windows/overview) with the name `MyCompanyName`. I then created a new Product on [the Microsoft Partner Center dashboard](https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/windows/overview) I chose the name `FooBarBazTest`. Under "Product Identity", Microsoft says: Include these values in your package manifest: Package/Identity/Name: 12345MyCompanyName.FooBarBazTest Package/Identity/Publisher: CN=6D79A3CE-7EB5-466E-8EE1-D370291F7800 Package/Properties/PublisherDisplayName: MyCompanyName Note the package name `12345MyCompanyName.FooBarBazTest`. I am building an `.appx` package using [electron-windows-store](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/electron-windows-store). This is not strictly relevant -- the important things are that this tool makes a file which looks like this: PS C:\Users\james\vidrio\windows2> type .\myelectronapp\pre-appx\AppXManifest.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10" xmlns:uap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/uap/windows10" xmlns:rescap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10/restrictedcapabilities"> <Identity Name="19463Vidrio.Vidrio" ProcessorArchitecture="x64" Publisher="CN=James Fisher, O=James Fisher, STREET=77 Broadwater Road, L=London, S=London, PostalCode=N17 6EP, C=GB" Version="0.3.0.0" /> <Properties> <DisplayName>Vidrio</DisplayName> <PublisherDisplayName>Vidrio</PublisherDisplayName> <Description>No description entered</Description> <Logo>assets\SampleAppx.50x50.png</Logo> </Properties> <Resources> <Resource Language="en-us" /> </Resources> <Dependencies> <TargetDeviceFamily Name="Windows.Desktop" MinVersion="10.0.14316.0" MaxVersionTested="10.0.14316.0" /> </Dependencies> <Capabilities> <rescap:Capability Name="runFullTrust"/> </Capabilities> <Applications> <Application Id="19463Vidrio.Vidrio" Executable="app/Vidrio.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication"> <uap:VisualElements BackgroundColor="#464646" DisplayName="Vidrio" Square150x150Logo="assets\SampleAppx.150x150.png" Square44x44Logo="assets\SampleAppx.44x44.png" Description="Vidrio for Windows"> <uap:DefaultTile Wide310x150Logo="assets\SampleAppx.310x150.png" /> </uap:VisualElements> </Application> </Applications> </Package> It builds this using this template: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/electron-windows-store/blob/master/template/appxmanifest.xml This comes from this config: await convertToWindowsStore({ name: '19463Vidrio.Vidrio', packageName: 'Vidrio', // Pre-Electron Vidrio was using the name '19463Vidrio.Vidrio' but this is not even valid according to makeappx?! }); makes the following call to `makeappx.exe`: PS C:\Users\james\vidrio\windows2> & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x64\makeappx.exe' pack /d myelectronapp\pre-appx /p myelectronapp\19463Vidrio.Vidrio.appx /o

Should be fixed in #131; in the mean time the correct (but confusing) way to use this package is like so:
