Cannot overwrite default IEEE style (Numeric Style) to non-numeric style (like APA).

Problem

I am trying to use the APA citation style (which isn't a numeric style).

This is my configuration.

:bibtex-file: references.bib
:bibtex-style: apa
:bibtex-throw: true
:bibtex-order: appearance

... Content ...

== Bibliography

bibliography::references.bib[apa]

All the citations I make using cite:[key] should be converted to something like (Schaub, 2018) but instead gets converted to [1]. The bibliography generated at the end corresponds to the numbers e.g. [1] D. A. S. & S. Welte, “UNIVOX Umwelt,” gfs-zürich, 2018.2.

Details

Filetree + Bibfile

My filetree:

📦My Project
 ┣ 📜myfile.adoc
 ┣ 📜myfile.html
 ┣ 📜myfile.pdf
 ┣ 📜references.bib

My bib file:

@article{univoxumwelt2018,
  author  = {Dr. Andreas Schaub & Stephanie Welte},
  title   = {UNIVOX Umwelt},
  journal = {gfs-zürich},
  year    = {2018}
}

I am using asciidoctor-pdf and generating my pdf using asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-bibtex .\myfile.adoc.

This problem seems to be independent of the creation of a bibliography at the end and exists with both asciidoctor and asciidoctor-pdf. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Do tell me if you need more details.

I see this problem in the PDF output, but it does seem to render as expected in HTML.
