when I implement trial experience in my windows phone silverlight app, I tested it on my device in DebugTrial mode, which I made recently, I want to ask that which XAP file to be upload to marketplace, either of Debug folder or of DebugTrial folder?

I want to install manually downloaded files from marketplace onto my windows phone 7,which do not have SD card. How can I do this?
You can't install manually downloaded XAP from the Windows Phone marketplace. This xap is encrypted and can be used only on Windows Phone device with SD card. Only marketplace on WP device can read sd card and will be able install apps from it.
There is no additional tools available that will allow you to install this xap.
What you can do is once you obtain the .XAP file which is the WP file format for apps, you can get the Windows Phone SDK which comes with all the Windows Phone developing tools and Application Deployment tool. This allows you to deploy any .XAP file onto your phone.
Getting the SDK is the only way as I'm not aware if the Application Deployment Tool comes standalone.
You can get the SDK Here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=27570
How to install xap file on windows emulator and capture user actions?
I need to write application in windows c# .NET and deploy xap file on windows emulator. How I can record button click or user actions on emulator in order to do automated testing.
Is any framework like calabash-android, gorillaMonkey, Appium for windows phone 7.
I don't understand why you specified "Install xap file" but I think you are looking for Expensify
Good news is its free and open source, and records the user action to perform automated functional tests on emulator. you can find youtube demo video here
This also supports Android and IOS so if you have same app for android and app you may reuse plenty of testing code.
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...
I have developed a windowsphone7 app, i used visual studio 2010 and WP7 SDK to develop that app, and i have a registered developer account.
Now the app is ready to upload in market place,i have the XAP file.
I goes through the app submitting process, at package upload step, it allows only the ".appxupload" file, but not the ".xap" file.
Can anybody guide me to upload my app xap file.
thanks in advance.
Windows 8 Store http://dev.windows.com requires .appxupload
Windows Phone Store http://dev.windowsphone.com requires .xap
If you have .xap and its asking for .appxupload, you are in the wrong store.
I believe the actual XAP upload component still uses Silverlight (I always see the Silverlight loading animation appear when I upload). Try ensuring you have Silverlight installed and are using a browser that supports it.
You need to be using Internet Explorer with silverlight installed otherwise it just hangs and crashes. DONT use Chrome. It is a death sentence for app submission.
I have developed a windowsphone7 app, i used visual studio 2010 and WP7 SDK to develop that app, and i have a registered as developer account.
Now the app is ready to upload in market place,i have the XAP file.
But what the exact problem is i couldn't get the exact link where can upload my XAP file.
I tried with various search in internet, i can get the link to upload WP8 app but not WP7 app.
That's asking .appxupload file,can anybody give me the exact link, where i can upload my windowsphone7 app(XAP file).
thanks in advance.
Both WP8 and WP7 apps use the same dashboard. http://dev.windowsphone.com. When you upload your xap to the website, it detects and determines which device you are targeting.
i got the solution, actually my account don't have the "windows phone developer subscription" have only the "windows store developer subscription", i subscribed for windows phone developer subscription, and everything is fine now.I can upload my xap file.
