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.

The installation of the Windows 8.1 Universal App works on an unmanaged device with Windows 10 Mobile Preview.
During the installation on a Lumia 950 with Windows 10 Mobile, this error occurs:
App can't be installed. There is a problem with this app. Please check the package or talk to the person from whom you received it.
(Error was translated by me, so not every word will match the standard error message in english)
The App was created by cordova and is signed with a certificate. The AET is installed on the unmanaged and added to the MDM for the managed.
Environment
OS: Windows 8.1 Enterprise
IDEs installed: Visual Studio Community 2013 & 2015
IDE used: Visual Studio Community 2015
VS Project details: Apache Cordova, WinJS, angularjs
Certificate: Company certificate from symantec, received from extern company
Problem will be that Windows 8.1 application isn't really universal and you couldn't run it directly on Win10 without modifications.
Migrate apps to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)
I'm planing to make offline Module using WPF visual studio 2013 and mysql , my main concern is ,Will it work On windows 10 tablet ?
I have seen Windows 10 tab-view in my desktop but is it same with windows 10 tablet ?
I'm Not looking for Mobile only for tab?
I think that you need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2015 if you want to develop a Universal Windows App (Windows 10).

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
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,
Manuel
