I am facing the following error, while deploying the package to windows phone device or emulator.
Development specs: Windows 10 Pro Insider preview. Visual Studio Community edition.
Error: Verify the project is selected to be deployed in the solution configuration manager, or deploy it explictly by clicking on the deploy commands in the build menu.
Tried all the possible ways of solving. Can any one suggest a solution for this.
I have checked that you are using the Visual Studio Community RTM version from your Screenshot, but based on this article(https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/06/29/release-dates-and-compatibility-visual-studio-2015-and-windows-10-sdk/), Windows 10 preview version will not work with the Visual Studio 2015 RTM version when creating the UWP app, so you will meet error, please try to upgrade your Windows 10 Pro Insider preview to Windows 10 RTM, besides the Windows 10 Pro Insider preview has a lot of bugs.

I have an old app that was developed in Visual Studio 2008 targeting Windows Mobile 6 devices (Intermec Handhelds). I needed to make few enhancements to the app and tried to open it in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition but it is not supported. I thought of installing either VS2008 or VS2008 SP1, but I was unable to find the installers on Microsoft.com. Unfortunately, we are unable to upgrade our devices and so we are stuck with the Windows Mobile 6.
Any suggestions? Does anyone know if it is possible to develop Windows Mobile 6 apps using VS2015?
Thanks.
I've spent more than a day trying to install and get this up and running and it just doesn't seem to be working. I tried installing saying that I have Visual Studio.. and then when I run the app, I have no emulators. I try to install Android Emulator for Visual Studio and it says I need Windows 8.
I then again try to install Xamarin but this time i click that i do NOT have Visual Studio.. then it seems like it's download Visual Studio 2015 for me.. but then at the end, it seems like the install didn't go correctly and I don't even see an executable for VS2015 and I just don't know what's going on here.
It says here
The minimum operating system version is Windows 7. Xamarin.Forms Windows support requires Windows 8.1, and Xamarin.Forms UWP support requires Windows 10.
from https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/getting_started/requirements/#windows
so what am I missing here? I'm going nuts
The minimum operating system version is Windows 7. But you need Windows 7 Service Pack 1. It need for VS15 - detail
You can not use on windows 7:
-Xamarin Forms
-Visual Studio emulator for android
-can't use shared code for windows store
I advise you to be updated to Windows 10.
I today upgraded to Windows 10 Build 10074 that I downloaded from here. Now, I wanted to develop apps for Windows and Windows Phone as a Universal app. Also that I'm willing to do the same for Android devices therefore, I downloaded Visual Studio Community 2013 with Update 4 from here. Now, after it installed it first gave a warning that the system doesn't support Windows Phone 8 emulator (and I understand this because I suppose the processor, Core 2 Duo E7000 doesn't support visualization/SLAT technology). After this I opened Visual Studio which first loaded, then closed automatically (quite abruptly). I opened a sample solution afterward which loaded, then a dialog came stating you need to enable developer mode in Windows 10 under Settings>Update and Security>For Developers but when I went there and clicked For Developers, the window closed (similar to Visual Studio).
How do I enable it then? And I don't know should I re-install/uninstall it? Or maybe I should download Visual Studio 2015 RC?
Thanks,

If you really want to develop for the new universal app Platform, you will need VS2015 RC, but your apps won't work on Windows 8 devices, only for Windows 10.
I have got Visual Studio 2015 Ultimate Preview installation through my students Dreamspark account. I installed it on top of updated Windows 8.1. workstation.
I have Windows Phone 8.0 application that I need to publish to Windows Phone Store. I am following MS guide on their site, but I am stuck with step in which my options for packaging solution are disabled in VS 2015 Preview (can't start the wizard).
Here is the screenshot of Visual Studio:
On this site: http://goo.gl/pjbLPh I have found guide for installing Tools for Maintaining Store apps for Windows 8 but it is targeting VS 2012 and VS 2013. In my installer for VS 2015 I didn't even see this tool in optional features for install. Maybe the name is changed?
Does anyone have early experiences with VS 2015 Preview and packaging WP 8 apps for Windows Phone Store?
You have to select a Windows Store app project in the solution explorer before.
(You screenshot shows that you currently selected the solution and not a project.)
Make sure that the distribution option is selected.
Can any Windows Phone Application developer help?
When i run my project, emulator starts and shut down, and the error The interface is unknown is displayed in error log in Visual Studio.
It was running fine the other day.
What should i do to get rid of this error?
If you are using Visual Studio 2010, the window phone emulator for widow phone 7 series suites your PC. if you are experiencing problems with it, simply download Visual studio 2010 service pack 1 and re-install the tools. you can also update your .net frameworks from windows update.
if you are using Visual studio 2012, then you must be using the window phone 8 emulator which runs on only 64 bit and window 8 pro (or advanced) machines. it works on the visual machine. so you can re-install your Hyper V drivers or re-install the SDK
i hope this help fix the problem permanently.
Identified what the problem was :-)
"Windows Phone Emulator-512" is compatible with only Visual Studio 2012; it is not backward compatible with earlier versions of Visual Studio. So, now i used "Windows Phone Emulator-256", it's working fine :-)
