Error while debugging Windows Phone 8.1 app on device - windows

I try to debug my windows 8.1 application on the device (lumia 630) but I get the following error:
"The application could not be launched for debugging. Ensure that the target device screen is unlocked and that the application is installed."
The application is installing and I can run it without problems on the device. I also can debug the application in the emulator. The only problem appears when trying to debug on the device. I tried everything I could find with a google search...This inclues restarting the Windows Phone IP over USB service, reinstalling the W8 SDK, un-installing the app before debugging.
If someone has an idea, no matter how stupid it is I would like to hear it. I really need the phone debugging.

Unable to debug UWP app in Visual Studio 2015 on a device from VMWare Fusion

I am implementing a Xamarin app for UWP (and Android and iOS). I'm using VS2015 in VMWare Fusion VM on a Macbook Pro. I am able to build and debug the UWP app in an Emulator without any problems. However I am not able to deploy and debug to a connected Lumia 950 phone over USB. The deployment starts and fails after a while with the message: DEP0001: Unexpected Error -2147023436.
It looks to me as if the file transfer over the USB is not working - however the device is connected and I can communicate with it from the virtual machine.
I have tried a lot, such as using the WinAppDeployCmd.exe command line tool to deploy to the phone. It recognizes the device and starts the package upload and then hangs.
Anybody had the same problem?

Windows Phone 8.1 App not deploying on device

I have created an Mobile App for Windows Phone 8.1 using tools for Apache Cordova. When trying to Sideload the app using the windows phone 8.1 application deployment tool i receive an error "Error - A packaging error prevented this application from installing". Does anyone know what this means, the cause and how to fix it? The process is inconsistent as there are times it works without issues and other times it doesn't work constantly any ideas.

Building WP app to phone App didn't start error

We are having an issue building my app in Debug mode to my physical devices, the error is posted below.
The device is dev unlocked and was working, but stopped with no warning. We can still work on the emulator and build in release mode to the device.
We have tried:
•Reassociating it with the Windows Phone store.
•Cleaning the solution.
•Deleting obj and bin folders.
•Rebuilding solutions
•Running VS in admin mode.
•Restarting the system.
Does anyone please have advice on how to resolve this issue as it is hurting our beta testing.
Error:
"Unable to activate Windows Store app 'App Name'. The Process started, but the activation request failed with error 'The app didn't start'"
try to remove the App.config file
If you already have the app installed on device, it will fail when you try to deploy using Visual studio. Is this a Windows Phone 8.1 app or 7.x app?

Can't detect Windows App on Weinre?

I'm running Weinre on Mac. I have an HTML5-based Windows app installed on a Windows phone. If I try to access my app via the browser inside the Windows phone, I am able to detect the app on Weinre without any problems. However, if I open the actual installed Windows app (not via the browser), I can't see my app listed on Weinre. What could be the error and how do I fix it?
Note: I'm using Chrome as my debug client. The model of the phone I'm using is Nokia Lumia 925 (Windows Phone 8.1).
Thanks in advanced!
It may be a lot of work, but if you install Windows in a VM, you could use Visual Studio: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/davrous/archive/2014/07/21/how-to-remotely-debug-and-profile-the-performance-of-your-html5-websites-amp-apps-on-windows-phone.aspx

are there log files for windows mobile phone 7 emulator

I'm doing some development for windows mobile phone 7. I have the emulator installed and can deploy and debug the application. However, I'm getting random application crashes that I'm trying to debug. When I've worked with other emulators, there are log files that give log details from system libraries and other framework components that are being used.
Are there any such logs with mobile emulator?
Is it the emulator that is crashing? Or the application?
If its the application, then you should be able to use the VS2010 debugger with "break on exceptions" turned on and with intellitrace options.
If its the emulator, then sorry - but I don't know of any log files available.
