What is the possibility of changing the applications Package Identity Name & Publisher for an existing appxbundle file and then re-sign the same with another certificate?

We have a requirement where we will receive a pre-signed application.appxbundle file, and we need to change the application's Package Identity Name & Publisher and the re-sign the application with another certificate.
Is this possible?

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    What is the possibility of changing the applications Package Identity Name & Publisher for an existing appxbundle file and then re-sign the same with another certificate?

    No, this is not possible. There might be security issues that if a signed package could be re-signed by other certificates.

    Thank you.
