I have a maybe a small problem.
My task is to test a windows 8.1 tablet app. I have no tablet here, so I installed the Visual Studio 2013 Express and the Windows Phone SDK.
If I start the "windows phone application deployment" and try to start the *.appxbundle file, I get an error
a packaging error prevented this application from installing
I sent this back to the developer, he means the app is made for tablets and have to be tested on tablets.
So my question:
Is it somehow possible to simulate windows 8.1 tablet on a windows 8.1 system?
How to install the .appxbundle file?
Thanks.
If you want to test the app in a tablet then there is no need of a Windows Phone SDK or any simulator. You can install the app in your Windows 8.1 pc/desktop, and it will be the same as it will be on a tablet, because a windows store app is common for tablet and pc.
And to install the .appxbundle you can refer to this link (from step 6).
Found a solution, install the app with windows power shell
add-appxpackage C:\myapp.appx

Any one suggest me using visual studio can we deploy any of the iOS application in Simulator not connecting to Mac Agent??? Through Windows Machine.
Thanks In Advance!!
No it is an apple licensing requirement. There is the xamarin live player in preview which will let you test apps on an iphone without an mac
https://www.xamarin.com/live
Simulator for iOS always runs on Mac, there is no simulator for iOS for Windows. You can only cast the screen to Windows so that you don't have to look on the Mac screen, but that's all, you need a mac for that (and this requires Visual Studio Enterprise which you probably don't have - assuming from your other statements).
If you want to develop without Mac you can try to install Xamarin Live Player on your iOS device. And also you can't build the final package without a Mac (and it also required for uploading it to the store), just in this case you can possibly get some Mac in the cloud and pay per hour.
If you don't have even the iOS device then you need to buy it as this can't be resolved in any way.
I would like to know if a Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 app will work without any flaw on a Windows 10 phone. If I need to fix some bugs for Windows 10 phone, can I use VS2013 and a Windows 8.1 machine to fix the issues in Silverlight 8.1 solution?
In general: Yes to both. Windows Phone Silverlight apps will run on Windows 10 Mobile, and you can continue to use Visual Studio 2013 to write and edit Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 apps.
See Get ready for the Unified Dev Center dashboard preview and upcoming Store changes for store changes you'll need to be aware of and may need to adjust for.
While launching the sample application in windows phone 8.1 emulator I am getting this error.
**Error 1 Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during boostrapping stage 'Connecting to the device':
SmartDeviceException - App deployment failed. Please try again. AccelerometerCS.WindowsPhone
Error 2 Error : DEP6200 : Boostrapping 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB' failed. Device cannot be found. App deployment failed. Please try again.
AccelerometerCS.WindowsPhone**
Any possible solutions?
Thanks in advance.
I have had the same problem and have found a solution that might work for you as well. Here is what I did:
close Visual Studio
open Hyper-V Manager
delete all Windows Phone Emulator VMs
in the Virtual Switch Manager (link is located in the navigation bar
on the right) delete all Windows Phone related virtual switches
open Visual Studio and try to deploy the application again (Visual
Studio will create a fresh virtual machine for you)
I hope that helps.
Based on a quick search and Sumesh Thomas's blog, you might be trying to deploy a Windows Phone 8.1 app to a device with older version of Windows Phone (probably 8.0).
That won't work. Windows Phone apps targeting Windows Phone 8.1 need that version of OS as a minimum requirement.
Also, another possibility is that there's a pending Windows Update reboot which is causing the issue when deploying to emulator. According to the provided link, getting the latest updates from Windows Update and rebooting your machine might help.
Can we test windows 8 mobile app windows phone 8 simulator.I need to test my windows 8 mobile application.but simulator in visual studio 2012 is only for tablets,there is no simulator form mobile device
I think You need to install windows phone 8 sdk to your machine. It include all the emulators to test windows phone app.
Like Praveen said it seems like you don't have the SDK installed. To download it simply go to this address http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk and download the latest SDK. you will need to have VS closed when installing and may require a restart. Ohh and just incase you don't you will need windows 8 Pro to test using the emulator as it requires HyperV.
I finished a windows phone project. And try to do Debug->Start windows phone application analysis on visual studio 2012 (also 2013), but it doesn't work, and a dialog box pops up:
now I want to start windows phone application analysis on my project. how can I do this??
PS: I tried create new app from the windows phone template, it has the same error!
I had the same issue and alternatively i had error when opening .sap files too with :
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.DeviceNotFoundException
This last error point me that you have to install SDK Update for Windows Phone 7.8 and everything work now.
Surprising that this prerequisite is not specified.
