First of all you need to check that you are configured for windows 8 or windows phone 8.

If you compile it as Windows Phone Project then you can get XAP from your project. Bin>>Debug>>Your project.XAP

I have created a new Windows 8 JavaScript project using phoneGap,

My question is how can i get .XAP extension file in Bin folder as this is mandatory to run my application on windows device.

And also tell me one thing there is any other solution to make this .XAP extension file. Because of using javascript i am not getting .XAP extension file.

OK got it as already I told you your configured solution is for W8 or WP 8 , this article written for Windows 8 not for windows phone 8 . Keep in mind windows 8 and windows phone 8 both is different. Create new project as per docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/…
