Create Windows 8.1 Store App with Visual Studio

I am interested to port one of my windows applications so that I can distribute my app in the Microsoft Store. Target platform will
be Windows 8.1 because I am not running Windows 10.
I am using Visual Studio Community 2017. I tried to follow this guide from Microsoft
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt203664.aspx
to create a Windows 8.1 Store app with Visual Studio but it seems that the described functionality is not available at
Visual Studio Community 2017. Also I cannot find any related Windows Store 8.1 Project Template at Visual Studio Community 2017.
So which is the latest available Visual Studio version which supports creating Windows 8.1. Store Apps?
Regards
Michael
Windows 8.1 Store app development is not available in Visual Studio 2017. You should use Visual Studio 2015 instead.

Cordova aap can be developed on visual studio?

Can we develop cordova/phonegap app on Visual Studio version 2012? I am beginner, any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
You could develop a Cordova app using Visual Studio 2012 inside of a WebSite project (for example). However, it's not a great experience. Visual Studio 2015 includes official support for Apache Cordova (see more at http://taco.visualstudio.com). You may be able to use the free Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.

Integrate Xamarin components into VS 2015 Professional?

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional and would like to know how/what should I download from the Xamarin website to integrate into VS 2015 Pro to develop Android apps with Xamarin.
Just download the universal installer from their website
During Visual Studio installation, you have the option to select C#/.NET(Xamarin) under Cross-Platform Development.
You can Modify/Repair the Visual Studio install and select Xamarin and any other components (e.g. Android SDK if it was not selected previously, although they can also be installed separately) and update the installation. Install details/reference here

Why are Microsoft Windows 8.1 sample apps not compatible with Visual Studio 2013 Express

Any one have any idea why Microsoft's sample Windows 8.1 apps are not compatible with Visual Studio Express 2013? I get an error telling me that the project is not compatible with this version of Visual Studio - did I miss something, are these sample apps not compatible with the Express version?

Install Windows Phone 7.1 SDK on Windows 8.1 RTM with Visual Studio 2013 RC

Does anyone know how to develop for Windows Phone 7, with Visual Studio 2013 (thus without installing Visual Studio 2010) on Windows 8.1 RTM?
I've checked the WP8.0 box when I was installing Visual Studio 2013, but it does not provide me the 7.1 SDK which is needed for my solution.
It would be great if I could do it without installing Visual Studio 2010. :D
Thank you in advance :-)
The Windows Phone 8.0 SDK include the ability to create apps for 7.1 and 8.0 so there should be no need to install the 7.1 SDK.
HOWEVER
Developing apps for 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013.
If you must target 7.x devices you'll need to use VS2010 or VS2012.
If you want o build for Windows Phone 7.x you should use Visual Studio 2012. You can install this AND Visual Studio 2013 on the same machine. The only thing you may not end up being able to do is having a single solution with all projects in that you can use in both versions of VS.
