I recently submitted my app to the windows store, I was able to get it in the windows store application installed on my PC, but can't find online
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/apps
Please, am I missing something?, or there's something I have do?
You can try open the Windows dev center dashboard via this link: https://dev.windows.com/en-us/overview
Of course, you have to make sure that you've logged in using your Microsoft account, the one you're using while uploading your apps.
When you receive your app submission report, you still need to wait a few days (around 3-7days) for your app to be searchable on the Store because the store server needs time to index your app for searching. If you wait a few days you'll be able to search for your app.

I am publishing one windows phone app in store.Now I want to know How many users download my app.that means count of the downloads.I am searching windows dashboard on my account but not getting any count details. please help me.I want to know about the number of users download my app.Thank you in advance
You can get more user statistics when using Google Analytics, like crashes and exceptions, events (click on a button etc.), device models, number of users currently using your app in real-time, and of course the number of installations and active users.
I use this SDK in my projects. Simply include the SDK via Nuget to your project by searching googleAnalyticsSdk, and follow the steps in the documentation.
The Windows Store dashboard has the basic things like number of downloads, demographics, etceteras. You can also download that information. Go to http://dev.windows.com, click Dashboard and login with you Microsoft account.
To have more details on the usage specific to your app you could use googleAnalytics, but when you start a Universal Windows app (Win10) you also get ApplicationInsight added to your project. This will give you a very detailed insight in your app on Azure. For more information see http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2014/03/20/instrumenting-your-app-for-telemetry-and-analytics/

Now that Windows 10 has been released, Microsoft has updated their Windows Store (at least for people in the US -- international pages seem to still be in progress). Prior to this update, I used the API available at https://services.apps.microsoft.com/browse/6.2.9200-1/615/en-US_en-US/c/US/cp/10005001/Apps/[APPID] to grab info on apps. This API still works, except with two issues:
a) It works only with the "old" app ids -- there seem to be new app ids for apps in Windows Store
b) Many apps in Windows Store now don't show a price (e.g. they show N/A) when accessed via the web or API but do show a price when opened in Windows Store
Is there a new API that works with the newly updated Windows Store?
Thanks!
This guy has built an API, which, although I haven't tested it, should work on the new store:

what is the time needed for uploaded in app purchases for windows phone on windows store to be all set? I uploaded few of them 2 days ago and they are still not visible on my phone(and they should be, there is no issue in code).
For all of them status is published in windows store.
Is there any way I can check where is the issue? Can anyone provide me any info regarding this? I searched their web but there is nothing about time needed for processing.
Any info is helpful.
Thanks
It took about a day to upload in app purchases. It is necessary to reinstall the app on your test phone to make in app purchases visible.
I um using Windows Azure toolkit for Windows Phone from codeplex. After creating a Windows Phone Cloud Application from a template, I started it on localhost and it run succesfully. Then i followed instructions on Codeplex on how to deploy on Azure, and published it also succesfully - I got an url to the website, but after typing the url in browser the website didn't load, and after a while there was a timeout. I tried both production and staging deployment. Can't resolve why this happens - did anyone faced familiar problem?
The publish completed successfully however this application is not running properly on Windows Azure.
As you are using Web Role type WP7 Phone application look for all the steps suggested in the link below:
Webrole is not starting and always busy
Also if you still could not find the root cause open a Windows Azure support ticket and you will get some help to find the root cause.

Remoting into the VM is a great way to see what is going on. Does it come up if you want for a while (maybe 30 minutes)?
Is there anyway to install wp application to the phone directly, Lets say I have a wp application and xap file, I want to put it somewhere on internet and the wp user will get that link and install application to the phone. I dont want to put it to Marketplace and I dont want to deploy it to phone from PC.I want directly get it from internet and install to the machine.Is that possible?
No it is not possible.
Microsoft only wants deployments through the marketplace and for developers they created a way to deploy it from your pc to test stuff. for every other user all the installations have to go through the Marketplace.
The reason they do it this way is that they have control on which apps are being published for the platform and they will test all the applications submitted to the marketplace. If you could download apps while skipping the marketplace they can't do the testing etc.
If you want to do beta-testing of your Application with a specified group of user
there is a special way. Its integrated within the marketplace, but your app wont be available to the public. Read this article about it.
Only developer unlocked phones can deploy XAP files in that manner. For others they have to download it from Marketplace, no other options are available.
But for hobbyists , there is Chevron. This will allow you to side load apps .
You can can find several links explaining about ChevronWP7 over the internet.
