Windows Build Fails in Intel XDK

I'm having trouble building a 'windows 8 hybrid mobile app' in Intel XDK. I followed this walkthrough

http://www.html5dev-software.intel.com/amdocs/lib/Intel_Walkthrough_W8Store.pdf

but some of the walkthrough fields do not line up with Intel XDK version 1995 build setting fields. This is my best guess to the match:

App ID: #####MyApp.MyApp [Fourth Step... Microsoft: Identity Name -> Walkthrough: Package Identity ]

App Name: My App [Second Step... Microsoft: App Name -> Walkthrough: Reserved Name]

App Description:

Author: My Publisher Name

App Version: 1.0.5.1

Domain List:

Cordova CLI Version: 4.1.2

Orientation: Default

Publisher ID: HHHHHHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHH [First Step: Microsoft: Publisher ID -> Walkthrough: Publisher ID]

Public Display Name: My Publisher Name [First Step: Microsoft: Publisher ID -> Walkthrough: Publisher ID]

With these parameters the build fails:

File content does not conform to specified schema. The 'Id' attribute is invalid - The value #####MyApp.MyApp     ' is invalid according to its datatype 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/2010/manifest:ST_ApplicationId' - The Pattern constraint failed.

The build works if I change the package name to something normal such as 'com.myapp.app' but the windows store rejects the appxupload with the error:

Validation error: All packages for this app must use the package identity name:

Also it is not clear where to place the information in 'step three' of the walkthrough [Microsoft: Product ID -> Walkthrough: Product ID] of the form

HHHHHHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHH (this hexadecimal number is different than the Publisher ID).

I tried many combinations but I cannot successfully build and have Microsoft accept the appxupload file.

That doc you are referring to

That doc you are referring to is for submitting an app to the Windows 8 store. Phone apps must be submitted to the Windows 8 Phone store (they are two different stores). At the moment, the only way to build a Windows 8 Phone app with the XDK is via the "legacy" build tiles. See this doc for details: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/tut-build-win8phone

Which app are you trying to build? Windows 8 or Windows 8 Phone?

BTW -- Microsoft is going to simplify this with the release of Windows 10, at which point there will be only one Windows store. We do not yet support Windows 10.

Thanks Paul,

Thank you very much for the reply. I'm attempting to build an app for the Windows 8 store. The fields in the walkthrough don't seem to line up with the build fields in the XDK. I successfully built and submitted apps into the Google Play and Amazon stores - so I'm probably overlooking something minor.
