Microsoft provides an identity name and family name starting with numbers. When attempting to build with supplied packageIdentity and packageName, i get the following error:

MakeAppx : error: Error info: error C00CE169: App manifest validation error: The app manifest must be valid as per schema: Line 26, Column 18, Reason: '238....' violates pattern constraint of '([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9])(.[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9])*'. The attribute 'Id' with value '238...' failed to parse.

Microsoft doesn't allow me to upload it to their store without this being fulfilled.

Looks like only identityName needs to be filled out and not the family ID. You should make this more clear in the documentation.

Should be fixed in https://github.com/felixrieseberg/electron-windows-store/pull/131; in the mean time the correct (but confusing) way to use this package is like so:

const convertToWindowsStore = require('electron-windows-store');
convertToWindowsStore({
    identityName: '12345MyCompany.Ghost',  // This is actually the package name!
    packageName: 'Ghost',  // This is actually the application id!!
    // ...
});

I've since come to the conclusion that the right way to use electron-windows-store is to write your own AppxManifest.xml, and pass this in, like so

const convertToWindowsStore = require('electron-windows-store');
convertToWindowsStore({
    manifest: '.\\AppXManifest.xml',  // For many reasons, we write should own
    packageName: 'Ghost',  // Still needed for filename 'Ghost.appx'
    // ...
});
