My question is can i use 8.1 phone device n SDK 8.0 solution .

But i don't think you could develop WP8.1 apps in VS2012. For that you gotta have the 8.1 Development tools.
Windows Phone 8.1 development tools
You mean testing WP8 apps in a WP8.1 device? In that case yes you can.
What you can't do is testing WP8.1 apps in a WP8 device.

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.
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
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.
Previously I was using Visual Studio 2012 (including Update 2) with Windows Phone SDK 8.0 in Windows 8. Everything was fine and emulator connected to internet as expected without any additional settings.
But later in same machine I installed Windows 8.1 and set up same environment with Visual Studio 2012 (including Update 2 and 3) with Windows Phone SDK 8.0. Only additional thing was Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 as it is required in Windows 8.1
Now my Windows Phone 8 doesn't connect to internet. It doesn't give any error messages and just doesn't load any web page in mobile internet explorer. I'm using mobile broadband dongle to connect to internet.
There are several discussion regarding internet issue in wp8 emulator but non of them talk about this specific issue comes with Windows 8.1
Is there anyone who had same problem and solved it?
Most probably the bridged connections created by Hyper-V got removed/changed. If suitable I would suggest you remove the WP 8.0 SDK and then install it again and see if it solved the issue.
Optionally you can try to fiddle with the 'Virtual newtork...' adapters in Hyper-V to fix this, but I'm not help there as I didn't manage to solve it that way.
Cheers,
