12,981
Solution 1
Each time when you build you project - Visual Studio builds XAP file, which is actual package for uploading it to Windows Phone Store or deploying to the real device. This may help Submit your app
Solution 2
For Windows Phone you get a XAP file instead of an APK file.
The XAP in the ARM Release ie- ..\<Project Folder>\Bin\ARM\Release\
should be submitted to the Windows Store or Deployed to Device. Windows Phone Devices uses ARM based processors.
To generate the output-
- First Select Release from the Solution Configuration DropBox.
- Then go to configuration manager and change the AnyCPU field to ARM.
- Then Build the project.
To Run on Device-
- Open Application Deployment(a program that is installed with the Windows Phone SDK)
- Select Target Device(Phone should be connected by USB and Unlocked. For WP 7 you need Zune.)
- Browse and Select the XAP file in the
\Bin\ARM\Release\
- Click Deploy Button
To Run on Emulator- (use AnyCPU Build Configuration)
- Open Application Deployment(a program that is installed with the Windows Phone SDK)
- Select Target emulator.
- Browse and Select the XAP file in the
\Bin\x86\Release\
- Click Deploy Button
