I developed an hybrid app for Windows Phone with MobileFirst v7.1 but I don't know what is the procedure to compile the app to be installed on smartphone. I only know that Visual Studio is necessary, but searching in the web I didn't found any specific guide or documentation for achieve this task.
You build your app in MobileFirst Studio as you build any other MobileFirst-based app
This generates a native project, in this case for Visual Studio.
You then need to open this project in Visual Studio, and from there on you follow standard Visual Studio guidelines (for this, search Microsoft's website for Windows Phone developers).

I downloaded Visual Studio Community 2017 because I need to build a command line tool to perform some administrative tasks on Windows 7. Is this possible and if so, what project should I select?
When I create a new project I can not choose "Universal Windows" projects, because these are restricted to Windows 10. A project I can create is a Class Library (.NET standard), but I have no way of executing this as it is a library and won't run from a Main() method, nor am I able to add a Unit Test project, because that is only available for Universal Windows.
I installed a load of extra .NET framework versions, the Windows 8 jdk, I searched for project templates online, created a "Blank Solution" from "Other project types", etc
So the question is basically, how do I build anything that runs on Windows 7?
I am going to answer my own question again. I set up Visual Studio for "universal Windows platform" development, because it sounded suitable for the simple app that I wanted to build, but the universal Windows platform is all new and aimed at Windows 10. My bad. After I added ".NET desktop development" via the Open Visual Studio Installer I now have my beloved Console Application project.
I want to dive in into developing windows store apps. I am using visual studio express 2013 for desktop and my OS is windows 8.1. But when I want to follow a simple hello world project and I want to create a new project I am already limited in some way. I have to go to Installed > (I want to use C#) Visual C# > Universal or Windows Apps or Windows Phone Apps. But none of these 3 points are available when I want to follow the tutorial. Do you have any suggestions why this might be the case ?
To develop Windows Phone 8.1 apps, you need Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows. You're using the version for Desktop which is why you don't see the necessary templates.
You can use the tools in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows to
create innovative and compelling Windows Phone and Windows Store apps
on Windows 8.1.
You can find and download the Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows here.
I'm using Windows 7 32x. It seems I'm not able to create an app package in Visual Studio 2013 Professional, the "Store" option doesn't appear. I've read somewhere that we couldn't package on Win7, is there any way around? I'd like to upload my app to Windows Store, thanks.
You won't be able to do that. On Windows Store development center web site it's stated quite explicitly:
To create an app, you must use Visual Studio 2013 on a computer running Windows 8.1.
You can't create an app by using Windows 7. In addition, developer licenses aren't available for Windows Server 2012, so you can't develop a Windows Store app on that operating system.

Is there any way to add Windows Phone device in IBM Worklight Studio for testing app there itself?(except opening project with visual studio)
It is Microsoft Visual Studio that you should use to recognize your Windows Phone 7 device, not Worklight Studio.
In Worklight Studio you:
Create a new Worklight project
Add an application
Add the Windows Phone 7 environment
Write some code...
Build and deploy
In Visual Studio:
It is now on you to configure your device for development
Have it recognized by Visual Studio
Open the generated Visual Studio project (from step 5 above) in Visual Studio
And finally, build the app and run it on your device
You should read the IBM Worklight Getting Started training modules that are relevant to this environment:
Previewing your application on Windows Phone 7.5
General information when developing for Windows Phone 7.5
Note that starting Worklight 6.1.0 (to be released in the near future), Windows Phone 7.5 support has been removed from Worklight (remaining is Windows Phone 8 for this platform).
It sounds like you are trying to use IBM Mobile Test Workbench for Worklight (IMTWW), which is only supported on iOS and Android. See the Testing Worklight Mobile Applications with the Mobile Test
Workbench module.
I am looking into developing a small app to run on a blackberry which will send a few commands to a windows app. I installed the plugin for Visual Studio development IDE. Where can I find information on blackberry development in visual studio?
See this Article in CodeProject: BlackBerry Java Application Development Using Visual Studio. Also, in BlackBerry Website there is a good videos for Developing BB apps with Visual Studio.
