Rename an uwp app which is published in ms store

I have successfully published an app in ms store. After then I was trying to update this app Microsoft returns an issue "The app name does not accurately represent the app" So I decided to change the name of app by doing below steps.

  1. Under the Application UI under the Package.appxmanifest I have changed the "Display Name" with new app name
  2. Reserved a new name using Microsoft account
  3. Tried to create a package using this new reserved name

But when creating package it shows an error

"The DisplayName element of the Properties element must have the App name value:new app name"

How can I resolve this?

Pratyay's comment worked as an answer for me.

The new app name had already been reserved and assigned, but I was getting this error when trying to build a new package with the new name.

Package.appxmanifest(6,6): error APPX1607: The DisplayName element of the Properties element must have the App name value: 'RESERVEDNAME1;RESERVEDNAME2'. [C:\agent\_work\75\s\Solution\Project\Project.csproj]

This link pointed out that the Package.StoreAssociation.xml file needed to be updated first. I deleted the existing file and re-associated it with the Store by right-clicking the project -> Publish -> Associate App with the Store.... I had to check the box Include app names that already have packages. Then I followed the prompts, submitted the new package to the store, and I was good to go.
