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.

I had created company hub app for Win Phone 8 where signed xap is downladed from a url on mobile devices with preinstalled AET token.
But I am not able to find similar mechanism for distributing Windows10 UWP/ Windows-10 mobile app.
How can this be achieved? How to distribute WP10 apps without using store.
Amit, with Windows 10 (Mobile) you still have the option to distribute your app via Company Portal (e.g. the name for Microsoft Intune Mobile Application Management app for users to get internal company apps). With Windows 10 Mobile you don't need the Symantec certificate anymore.
In addition, you can distribute your app through Windows Store for Business web portal new with Windows 10 devices (please see http://businessstore.microsoft.com).
Please let me know if this helps.
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.

I have upgraded the Windows Phone 7 Barcode Scanning app to a Windows 8 Phone app and I deployed the app to my Windows 8 Phone. The package is .xap. How do I sideload this app to another phone? I am using this app for business purposes and it will not be available on the Windows Store.
Zune never connects to my Win8 phone and I am unable to use the Win7 Phone Application Deployment tool.
Like you used the Windows Phone 7 deployment tool for WP7, just use the Windows Phone 8 deployment tool for WP8. It's located in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment
Of course, that is if you have a developer-unlocked device.
Can we restrict our applications to run on particular devices by using the device id? means the application should run on only registered devices
I want to test my phone 7 application in my device that I have developed.please guide me on how to install my app in a device?And Which Windows Phone 7 Device is Good for Testing?
It's covered here, under the section titled "Deploying to a Physical Windows Phone Device". It requires an developer unlocked device.
If you don't have done it already you need to register your phone as a developer phone.

Then you need to download and install Zune, when you have don that it just to plugin you phone and choose to deploy to phone instead of emulator in visual studio.
Assuming you have 7.1 SDK and Zune installed:
Goto start search for Windows Phone Developer Registration.
After registering you can debug on the phone from Visual Studio by selecting target as "Windows Phone Device".
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.
