Remarks
The structure for the <package> element's <identity> and <applications> element correspond to the structure of those elements in an app manifest. Copy the Name and Publisher attributes from the application manifest's <identity> element after the app has been associated with the Windows Store, because the process of associating your app will update the app manifest. See Step 2: Create device metadata for your Windows Store device app for more information on associating the app with the store.
Here is an example of how the <Identity> element may look inside an app manifest.
<Identity Name="64022FABRIKAM.FabrikamDeviceApp" Publisher="CN=05558413-FFF6-4AA5-8176-AD43036533FA" Version="1.0.0.0" />
