This is my development environment:
OS Windows 8.1
Visual studio 2013 version 12.0 update 4
Nokia Lumia 630 on windows phone 8.1 (registered as developer)
After start the application deployment I get the message
"App deployment complete" on Visual Studio and the app-launcher appears on my device but when I tap on it on Lumia I just can see "...loading" and after 2 minutes a white screen.
The .xap is not mine.The app works perfecly running the application deployment in my college computer.
Any idea about what the app does not work using my visual studio?
Solved.
It was the device language :
My device language was set on English but the app was developed in French.
In order to solved it I set my device in French and restart it. After that the app works perfectly.

I have created an app package for Windows 8.1 for a Hello world app using XAMARIN to test whether it works for windows 10 Surface Pro or not. And it Doesn't.
I am using a Windows 8.1 OS with Visual studio 15 and one of my friend is using Windows 13. In both our cases, it doesn't work. We have the latest version of xamarin.
Since Windows apps have a forward compatibility, Why doesn't this package work for Windows 10.
Do I have to specifically have a Windows 10 OS to develop windows 10 app in xamarin?
I have had a look in the Xamarin docs but cannot find my answer. Please help with a brief explanation.
Yes.you need windows 10 to develop windows 10 app in xamarin.and you must add UWP project not Window8.1 . UWP app will support in window 10 as well as others universal platform like windows 10 tablet also.
I'have windows phone 8 device(lumia 620). I'm working on visual studio 2010. My problem is that I cannot run my XNA app with my phone. Every time I click start debugging, this error pops up
Error 1 Zune software is not launched. Retry after making sure that Zune software is launched. 0 0
Zune is working but zune says no devices connected. The windows phone desktop application is working fine and connects to my phone. What should I do. What is my fault.
You can't deploy to wp8 device from vs2010, you need vs2012 and wp8 sdk even if the app is developed for wp7.1
To run applications on your WP8 device you need the WP8 SDK and this requires VS2012. When you develop an XNA game you can only target WP 7.0 and 7.1 even when running on a WP8 device as the WP 8.0 OS uses C++ for games and no longer supports XNA. One final note, if you decide to develop your game using XNA/VS2012 you will need to use VS2010 to build your content as the content pipeline is not supported in VS2012.

You should select Device option in the standard toolbar of Visual Studio.
Opened windows phone Emulator(start >> programs >> Windows Phone SDK 7.1 >> Windows Phone Emulator) and then trying to run Windows Phone 7 app in visual Studio 2010, this is trying to open new emulator, is there anyway to run the app in opened emulator (OR something like attach debug process)
-Edit:
my actual Problem is when i try to run on the emulator, it says "Error:Invalid or missing Rom image", and i found the solution on the net as "permanently delete .dess file under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\XDE path" i tried this but no luck since there is no as such file. (but strange is that sometime back it was running properly :-p)
Open an instance of Visual Studio, add a Windows Phone specific project, and then run it. If the Windows Phone SDK was successfully installed, the demo app should run correctly inside the emulator. The emulator is opened automatically by Visual Studio, you do not have to start it manually from the folder it is installed in.
I'm trying to test a mobile website I'm building using Windows Phone 7, but I can't figure out how to do it. It seems that the SDK wants me to build an application first in order to use the emulator, but I'm not building an app, I simply want to test compatibility of my mobile site with windows phones. How do I do this?
If you install the free Windows Phone SDK you can run an emulator in standalone mode (i.e. without Visual Studio running).
Search for "Windows Phone Emulator" from the Start menu and just launch that directly.
Once in the emulator about the only thing you can do is launch IE Mobile.
(To enter URLs and other text using your real computer keyboard instead of the onscreen keyboard tap your "Pause/Break" to toggle keyboard mode)
You should be able to run emulator without building an app
try C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\XDE Launcher\XdeLauncher.exe
If now start visual studio and make an app f.e. Silverlight for Windows 7. Emulator will be loaded with debbuger attached. If you stop the app in VS, emulator should be still there. It has preinstalled IE which you can use to test.
Mind that it's better to test your web app on a real device.
I installed VS 2010 Express + WP7 SDK, it worked perfectly. Now I need to use unit-tests, and installed VS 2010 Ultimate (and reinstalled WP7 SDK). WP7 plugin seems to be installed (there are WP7 project types in "New Project" dialog), but when I'm trying to launch my software for debug, VS says that "Error 1 Zune software is not launched. Retry after making sure that Zune software is launched.". WP7 emulator is already launched (and Zune too, but Zune says, that there is no device connected). Expression Blend works with emulator perfectly (it runs the emulator by itself). Where is a mistake?
It seems like Visual Studio tries to deploy to a device.
Did you select "Windows Phone 7 Emulator" in the "Target Deployment Device" dropdown?
First of all, make sure that you have the Standard toolbar visible. That's where you select the Target Device. To do this: View -> Toolbars -> Standard. Since Expression Blend detects the emulator, then there is a problem with Visual Studio, that tries to deploy to a device by default.
REMEMBER: Zune Software is not required to be running when you are deploying to an emulator.
Second, try to create a new Windows Phone 7 project and try deploying it from Visual Studio to see how it works.
