I am unable to create an app for Windows phone 7.5 [Nokia Lumia 900] or deploy app to the phone from Visual Studio 2012. I have installed Windows Phone 8.0 SDK. Can anyone give me steps to do so?
You need to download and install Zune desktop app to deploy apps to WP7 devices.
Once it is installed, launch it, it will connect to your device and you then should the be able to deploy and debug apps from Visual Studio.
The SDK includes a tool called "Windows Phone Developer Registration". Once you've registered with the marketplace you can use this tool to unlock a device and deploy to it directly from Visual Studio.

Now from what I see it is possible to test my app on windows phone 8, however would I need to import the project to vs2012 and would i need to download the sdk8.0 or can i use the sdk that i have (7.1, vs 2010)
You need the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 to deploy your app to a Windows Phone 8 device. And the SDK 8.0 only works with Visual Studio 2012 (Pro, Express, ...). Here's more reading on deploying and testing 7.1 apps for version 8: How to deploy and run a Windows Phone app (About deploying and running apps on a Windows Phone device).
You need to add the new sdk and follow all the explanation of this link :

I want to test an app which is build on 7.1 sdk and want to test it on my nokia lumia 820 which is windows phone 8 device. so how to do this. Zune also not detecting my device.
There is specific requirement to deploy the .xap file to WP8 device, you must have Windows 8 PC then you have to install WP8 SDK that's Application Deployment tool allows you to deploy the .XAP file on WP8 device.
Hope it helps.
Zune is not required for deployment on Windows Phone 8 devices (even for WP7 apps running on WP8).
Visual Studio should detect your device and deploy to it automatically.
EDIT: Visual Studio 2012 and the Windows Phone 8 SDK are required for deploying to WP8 devices.
You can easily deploy it using Application Deployment tool, no need to use Zune, it is for Mango
I am developing phone gap application for windows phone.I am using visual studio 2010 & windows phone sdk 7.0.
How to run my application on windows phone 8?Or I have to run it on windows phone 7.
I am unable to connect my windows phone os 8 to visual studio.
Please help
If you have a windows phone 8 device which you want to use for app debugging purpose, you NEED the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 installed, which needs at least a 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or better.
If i haven't forgotten something, then Phonegap has 2 project templates - 1 for WP7 and 1 for WP8. Which allows to think that WP7 project won't run on WP8.
I am a Windows Phone 7 app developer. Now I am using Visual Studio 2010 and WP7 SDK and Windows 7 OS. But I am planning to install Windows 8 OS and Windows Phone 8 SDK and Visual Studio 2012 in my system. If I do so, can I develop windows phone 7.0 and windows phone 7.1 apps with WP8 SDK and Visual studio 2012 ?
And also I developed some apps in WP7, So if any bug fix needs, Can I do it using WP8 SDK ?
You can develop 7.1 Apps and 8.0 apps but NOT 7.0 apps with the 8.0 SDK... Although I think devices with system version prior to 7.1 don't have access to the store so you don't need to maintain a 7.0 version of your app....
Of course any wp7.1 project can be opened with the new SDK 8.0 without problems.
Yes, Windows 8 and visual studio 2012 support WP7 development. There's a WP7 emulator and you can also connect and use your own WP7 test device.
Is it possible to get the WindowsPhone 7.1.1 sdk to work with Visual Studio 2012?
Edit: As stated in the title of my question: I wanted to know whether its possible to develop windows phone 7.1.1 apps using Visual Studio 2012.
I already tried installing the SDK and the hotfix but I still can't open Windows Phone 7.1 projects with VS2012. Hence, my question: Am I missing something obvious or is it simply not possbile?
There we go :) --> Windows Phone SDK 8.0
I have both Visual studio 2012 RTM (for Windows 8 store application development) and Windows phone 7.1.1 SDK in my Windows 8 Release Preview and they are working fine.
And like you, I am also waiting for the Windows Phone 8 SDK.(btw, there is no windows phone 7.8 sdk)
UPDATE: This Windows Phone 8.0 SDK link states that "you can install Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (and the WPSDK 7.1.1 Update) and continue to build apps and games that target Windows Phone 7.5. The existing Windows Phone SDK installs side by side with Visual Studio 2012, and you can feel confident that the code you write today will work on Windows Phone 8 devices."
