I uploaded one app called 'Smartflow' to the Windows Store and it passed all the certification and published in Windows Store. But when I navigate to Windows Store through the link it says Smartflow is currently not available.
I don't have any idea on this. Please suggest me. Thanks
Based on my regional settings, I should be able to see all en-US apps. I can verify that the Smartflow app does appear to me in the Windows Store. I tried the link you provided in a browser, and also tried a quick search from the Windows Store app.
Below is a screenshot of my screen before downloading the app. I was then able to download and launch the app with no issues. FYI, I am running Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.29) as of Dec 28, 2015.

We develop an app which is on the Windows Store and targets Windows 8.1 in it's build. The app is fully submitted to the store and works perfectly on Windows 10 devices. However on all Windows 8.1 devices we are receiving the following message when trying to install the app from the store:
Purchase Error - Sorry, this app can't be installed because your PC might not meet some of the requirements. Go to the app's description page to check for any requirements listed under details.
The apps description page has no requirements other than supported processors of x86, x64, ARM. There is nothing special about the requirements for the app and we are not using anything out of the ordinary.
The app works fine if it is side loaded or remote debugged onto a Windows 8.1 device. It just seems that the Windows Store for whatever reason is incorrectly blocking its download onto any Windows 8.1 devices.
Has anyone any ideas? We have attempted a wsreset.exe without success.
Thanks,
We have implemented a Windows 8 app. We tested the app by sideloading on both Windows 8.1 Pro and Enterprise. The app is working as expected when both the machines are connected to the domain. If both the machines are out of the domain, the app does not work and we receive the following error ‘This app can’t open. There’s a problem with app. Contact your system administrator about repairing or reinstalling it’. Also, in the event log the following error was displayed ‘Activation of the app 589f3680-7094-4066-92ee-75cd86b75bc1_5gyrq6psz227t!App for the Windows. Launch contract was blocked with error 0x80073CFC because its package is in state: Modified‘. We checked through on your sites and it is mentioned that Enterprise Sideloading key is mandatory for the app to work if the machine is not connected to the domain.
If we publish the app on Windows Store using ‘Targeted App Distribution’ method, do we still need to worry about the Enterprise Sideloading key or will the key be available when we will create a developer account on the Windows Center? Let us know.
Let us know if we are missing anything. Also, it will be helpful if you suggest any appropriate way as we need the Windows app to work without being connected to the domain.
Thanks
You could sideload the app if you have a developer license registered on the target machine. You can get a developer license via Visual Studio or with this powershell command:
Get-WindowsDeveloperLicense
However the developer license needs to be renewed every month.
See my answer here how to sideload an app:

I have a project that runs on Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.5.
It works fine on 8 devices in all cases, but on Windows Phone 7.5 it crashes on startup with following message (only if installed from store):
If the application is built on PC and uploaded to device it works fine. I tried numerous things but nothing helped.
Looks like it was a store issue. Should be resolved now.
Issue with 7.1 XAP submissions between Dec 04 and Dec 12 (Beta and Non-beta apps)
Well, my assumption is that your XAP file does not contains all the DLLs needed. Make sure the references to those DLLs indicate CopyLocal=True. Also it would be nice if you can share the beta link to check your stack traces.
P.S. this may help:

I guess it's a problem with the Async pack binding. You might want to try to remove the package and readd. More below:

In the past I was able to repro many post certification issues just by run the release version of the app from Visual Studio and simply unplug the cable while it is running. Sure you can't debug it but at least you can repro and test it without submitting it.
Thank you guys for your advice, but error has gone away. I don't do anything, i think that it was something with store...
I have got a .xap file, i mailed it and opened it in my windows phone 8.
It gives me company app error.
Also i tried it with deployment in visual studio, it runs fine with emulator but problem with device(zune software not installed) whereas i have installed it and it is not detecting the device.
My question is that can we test an application without any company registration on windows phone device, just for testing purpose.
I have got an microsoft account.
You can deploy the XAP, but you must unlock the device first.
Fortunately, it's now a free process, you don't need a devcenter account anymore. The only limitation is that you can deploy only two applications at a time (when deploying a third application, you must remove a previous one).
The procedure is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff769508(v=vs.105).aspx
I think Beta testing will help u.We can upload a build as beta version to the market for testing purposes.Have a look on the below link.
Beta Version in WindowsPhone
I think that the live test of phonegap (as you said you use it) will be great for you. Please see http://app.phonegap.com/ for more information.
You can check unsigned apps up to two apps on a free account.
If you have Visual studio installed, search for "Application deployment" from start or Run XapDeploy.exe. Test unsigned .XAP
Today I wanted to unlock the WP7 emulator in order to see some more functionalities available like: task manager, accessing isolated storage files and look over default applications like Office, Messaging and others, but I could not make it work ...
I followed the instructions from here but I'm not having the [YourHardDrive]:/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/WindowsPhone/v7.0/Emulation/Images folder . In [YourHardDrive]:/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/WindowsPhone/v7.0/Emulation folder I have only the following files:
WM7_Skin.xml
WM7_Skin_Down.png
WM7_Skin_Mask.png
WM7_Skin_Up.png
I looked over others tutorials related to unlock emulator and all of them are pointing to an Image folder - which in my case doesn't exists
Did anyone also faced with this problem?
I am curious: Why Microsoft doesn't provide by default access to an 'unlocked' emulator ?
Thanks.
The instructions you linked to are from a very early pre-beta release of the Windows Phone SDK, over six month before the phone released! So you don't have to wonder why they aren't working anymore.
You may search the XDA forums for an unlocked version of the 7.0 emulator image, but that version isn't up-to-date either. Currently RTM is version 7.1 of the SDK for the so-called "Mango" release of Windows Phone 7.5 - but it's currently not possible to "unlock" the restrictions Microsoft put into that emulator image, either. There are some possibilities to launch some of the internal applications / dialogs with a tool from the 7.1 SDK and their corresponding GUIDs. You may take a look at this and this article for some instructions.
The forums at xda-developers often post unlocked emulators. The one that I recently pulled down is here. It is in Italian but just go into the settings and change it to the language you would like.
