I have a problem submitting my app package. I have read a similar question that was answered on Stackoverflow but i didn't find it helpful. Whenever i submit the app package, it shows an error:

this package is using an app name that hasn't been reserved for this app:"the reserved app name"

As asked in the question WP8 this package is using a name that hasn't been reserved, the answer was to change the app name in the AppManifest.xml to reserved. I have changed my app name to reserved app name but still i get the same error. Can anyone please tell me where else is a possibility of having the app name field OR is there any other procedure of changing the app name?

  • I don't think this is a Windows Phone 8 issue. Publishing WP 8 apps doesn't require to reserve app names. Are you targeting WP 8.1 or creating an universal app? – venerik Aug 27 '14 at 23:14
  • The error has occurred while submitting WP8 app.The app also targets 8.1 – Samatha Sep 08 '14 at 17:22

  • Step 4: Run your application once again on simulator
  • Step 5: visual would show one error. You needn't consider about this.
  • Step 6: click on Build menu and chose Clear....
  • Step 7: click on Build menu and chose Batch Build
  • Step 8: tick on both debug and release
  • Step 9: press to Build for building your application once again
