Issue on deploying phonegap build directly to windows phone - windows-phone-7

Iam doing a phonegap project now, i have deployed my app to many android devices, all works fine. Started on windows phone & i found here phonegap apps cant deploy directly to windows phone.
I want to know; whether the steps given below (Steps for unlocking windows phone) will make my build (.xap file from phonegap build) runnable on windows os device?
Install the Windows Phone 8 SDK if you do not have it on the system. This is required for all developers.
Register for a Windows Phone developer account. If you are a DreamSpark member, you can register for free.
After the SDK is installed on the system, search for the Windows Phone Developer Registration program from the start screen.
Connect your phone to the computer. The program should detect the device immediately. Hit the Register button when it is clickable.
A log-in window will show up on screen. Please fill in your developer account information in the appropriate field, and then hit Sign in. The device registration process will start once you are signed in. If you are successful, you will receive the following message: Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked your Windows Phone.
Each developer account can unlock up to three devices. If you want to delete a device from the account, log in to the developer Dashboard, choose Account -> Phones, and then delete the device from there.
Please help me.

This is currently not possible.
The Development team said they are looking into it and expecting to have it ready Q3 - Q4 this year.
Here's a link to the feature request(https://github.com/phonegap/build/issues/118)

This feature is now supported. We can create .xap file with Phonegap online build itself. It is beta so there are some limitations.

Publish Windows Phone 8.1 app

I have created an app using Xamarin, and it works great on Testflight and Google Play beta-testing (I am not ready to launch completely yet, but nearly).
I need to know, how am I going to create the package for Windows Store (or what it is called?).
If you are developing a windows phone app, you should have a developer account.
Now if you are ready to publish (or even before) go to the Windows Dev Center and create a new app in there. There you can see the following steps to publish your app in the windows app store.
If you don´t know what your developer account is or you don´t have one, start here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows

How To install .XAP file in Nokia Lumia 930

I develop the windows phone App. i want to give the .XAP file to run on their phone. but when send to it through email. he download and want to instal but its become error. give me some solution how to transfar one .XAP file to another mobile and install it.
In order for him to install .xap files that aren't from the Windows Phone Store, he would have to developer unlock his phone. Developer unlocking a phone requires a Windows Phone Store account subscription. If you have a subscription and the WP SDK, you can open up a program on your computer called Windows Phone Developer Registration and follow the directions there.

.xap file is not showing in the sd card

I have developed one windows phone 8 application. I have tested the app in simulator and it is working fine. Now I have decided to test the app in my windows phone(Nokia Lumia 520).
As you already know for testing the app, we need XAP file. So I have build the app in visual studio 2012 by right click on the project and select build option.Then XAP file is generated in the BIN folder of the application.
Now I have copied the XAP file to the SD Card 's root folder on my windows phone. After that I have restarted my windows phone.
Now I click on the Start and then Store in my phone. Now it has to show SD Card option.
But I didn't get this option.
So to check this again, I have downloaded the application(XAP file) from windows store.Now I have copied the XAP file to the SD Card 's root folder on my windows phone. After that I have restarted my windows phone. Now I click on the Start and then Store in my phone.
Now the SD Card option is visible. But there is only one XAP file (which I downloaded from the store) is visible and the one which I have developed is not visible.
I don't know what is the problem in my XAP file.
Please provide the solution as early as possible.
Thanks.
You need to follow the proper procedures for deploying a windows phone 8 app to a device. Connect your phone to your PC, In Visual studio 2012, select the deploy to device option and build the project. If you have a developer unlocked device, this will install the app on your phone.
Deploying an app in visual studio
Deploying an app using the application deployment tool
You cannot deploy a XAP file from your SD card on your phone but there are several other ways to do that:
If you have a developer unlocked phone (that you should have as developer) you can connect the phone to your PC and directly deploy the XAP file to it via Visual Studio (select Device instead of Emulator as deploy target)
Otherwise you can use the "Application Deployment" tool that comes with the Windows Phone SDK
Third you can upload it as a Beta Version to the Windows Phone Store which his is very uncommon way because if you have Windows Phone Store Account you can also unlock your phone...

Debug on Windows phone 7 DEVICE

I am new to windows phone 7 development. I want to run/debug my WP7 app in connected device, when i change target to windows phone device(from windows phone emulator) in VS 2010, its unable to run and showing a error meesage. am i missing any steps/procedure.
Before you can deploy an application to a Windows Phone, you must first register the phone, which requires an active developer account on Dev Center. Each developer account enables the registration of three devices for application development. After you create a developer account and your phone is registered, you can install, run, and debug unsigned applications on the phone.
You can get 3 types of errors:
You device does not registered as a developer's one.
Zune software does not launched.
You phone is under the lock screen.

How do I authorize a Windows Phone 7 device to allow for visual studio to deploy to it?

I've registered as an app developer with the Microsoft store but I'm at a loss, under devices I'm told that I need to authorize devices to use for app development but it says: "Adding additional devices must be accomplished through Visual Studio" with no added information. I tried using the 'XNA Game Studio Device Center' to add the device but it only has Zune and Xbox 360 listed, clicking on Zune doesn't help as it says no Zune device was found (since it's a windows phone 7 device I suppose that's to be expected).
So how do I add a device so I can deploy to it through visual studio?
Using the live id for your active marketplace subscription, enter that and your password into Windows Phone Developer Registration in the start menu.
You can only register a device using windows phone developer registration program once you have completed GEO Trust verification. On your Windows Phone dash board on App Hub you'll see that you must complete verification before your able to register a device.
