I am unable to launch the Windows App Certification Kit to test my Windows Phone 8.1 app on the same machine I use to develop the app (running Windows 8.1 and VS 2013 Ultimate Update 4). The error message I get is:
The UI workflow of Windows App Certification Kit is not supported on
this OS version.
I have tried to launch the kit via the command line (with administrator privileges) and via Visual Studio, but I get the same error.

Downloaded BotFramework-Emulator-4.11.0-windows-setup.exe from the release page 'https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Emulator/releases'. After installation, the emulator cannot start on Windows 10 X64.
I tried it on my desktop, laptop and a VM in Azure. What could be wrong?
I have windows 8.1 and right now Visual Studio 2015 is installing on my machine. Can I develop universal windows apps UWA for windows 10 from my windows 8.1 ?
If worth mentioning, I have another machine with windows 10 at home, and I think I read somewhere before I can use the other machine remotely to test my apps but I have been looking without finding how to do so.
Actually, this is possible. We can develop Universal Windows apps with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 8.1 and test them on a remote Windows 10 device.
For more info, please see Requirements in Develop apps for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)
Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 support
If you choose to develop Universal Windows apps with Visual Studio 2015 on a platform other than Windows 10, these are the restrictions:
Windows 8.1: You can’t run the app locally (only on a remote Windows 10 device). You can use the emulators in Visual Studio, but not the simulator.
Windows 7: You can’t run the app locally (only on a remote Windows 10 device). You can’t use the emulators or the simulator in Visual Studio either.
And for test on remote devices, please see Specifying a remote device in Deploying and debugging Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps.
However, when using OS earlier than Windows 10, some Visual Studio features for Windows Universal development may be degraded, such as you can't use the XAML designer on Windows 8.1:
For a better experience of developing Windows Universal Apps, Windows 10 is strongly recommended.
This is not possible. You need Windows 10 to develop Windows 10 UWP apps.
1. Get Windows 10
To develop UWP apps, you need the latest version of Windows.
I am new to windows app development and I need to create one app which will work on both windows 8 and windows 8.1 (the devices are tablets).
What is the Visual Studio version and type of app that I should use to develop my app and run it on both devices?
I am using a windows 8.1 home edition as PC.
You can use Visual Studio 2012 to create an app that is compatible to both these versions of the OS.
I'm developing a Windows Phone 8.1 app in Visual Studio 2013 Pro on a Windows 7 machine. Obviously, using the emulator is not an option for running it.
Is it possible to deploy/build a Windows Phone 8.1 application to a device (an actual Windows Phone connected via USB) on Windows 7? (I'd find out myself, but I don't have a Windows Phone. My client is willing to purchase one if that will enable us to run it.)
Sure, but you should have developer unlocked device to deploy your application. To unlock your device, you can use Windows Phone Developer Registration tool coming with SDK.
I have installed the dev tools. I have both visual studio 2010 and Visual Studio C# Express. After install it launched VStudio, I create a windows phone app, when running it says "Error 1 Zune software is not installed. Install the latest version of Zune software."
I saw on the internet that I had to connect to emulator in tools menu except I don't have such menu. So is there something I missed ?
It sounds like you're trying to deploy to a device. In Visual Studio, next to the debug button (green arrow), there's a drop down box. Set that to Windows Phone 7 Emulator and then try running the app. This should launch the emulator instead of trying to deploy to an actual device.
