I'm doing an app using Xamarin.Forms and I've already deployed the Android and iOS version to HockeyApp but I have a problem with the UWP (Windows 10 version)...
These are the steps I do:
Right click on my UWP project
Select "Store" option
Select "Create app packages"
A window pops and I select "No" and click "Next"
Then I only select the ARM configuration
Click "Next"
My package has been created and I drag n drop the .appxbundle file to hockeyapp.
Once the package is uploaded, I start my Windows 10 Mobile emulator and try to install it...
I download it from HockeyApp and when I install it, nothing happens...
Do you have any idea where this problem comes from?
I'm using Visual Studio 2015.
Windows 10 mobile emulator not supported ARM, only x86/x64. You need the real device for test ARM package.
I was experiencing exactly the same, but I've managed to fix it. Here's what I've done:
I associated the app with Store in Visual Studio
I installed Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary update (OS Build: 10.0.14383.953), since my app was targeting Anniversary Update.
I installed the certificate which was included in the .ZIP file next to the .appxbudnle
Then I run the .appxbundle and clicked install. The installer exited without any message, just like before, but after a minute or so the app appeared in the installed apps on my Microsoft Lumia 650.

I have created a cross platform app (Xamarin), which is targeted by UWP. It just uses the default template and that is it. I am now trying to debug it using an emulator, however the only debugging option I have is: "Device", which means I have to plugin a Windows phone.
I have also gone here and installed an emulator ( Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709 - this is what my app targets): https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive. After installing; I ran: C:\Users\MyUserAccount\Downloads\Windows Kits\10\Emulator\EmulatorSetup.exe and I see the message: The features installed on this computer are now up to date.
However, I still see no Emulator to start in the debugging menu.
Basically I am trying to do the UWP equivalent of Androids: Tools/Android/Android Device Menu/Start (start is an option for each emulator).
How do I start a UWP Emulator? The Tools menu in Visual Studio 2017 has an Android Device Manager and a IOS Device Manager, but no UWP Device Manager.
How do I start a UWP Emulator?
After installed emulator(10.0.15254.1), you need modify the app's min version to 15063. this lowest support version.
And your system need to support Hardware-assisted virtualization and
Enable Hyper-v for emulator
Then switch the Solution Platforms to X86 or x64.

Good morning,
I Need some help to solve an issue that I found on my android application.
I have created an android application that has device administrator permission using a PC A
now I have moved to a different PC, B and when I open the same project on my visual studio and generate the apk from the new PC, if I try to reinstall it by opening the apk on the android device where there is already install the application it fails.(application not installed)
If I open the same project on my old pc, I can generate the apk and reinstall on it (application installed).
I have checked and all option on android are the same.same sdk version same min sdk etc.
Do you know if the are some "key" to copy from my old pc?
the only solution that I have is format the android device and reinstall the application because when the android application is device administrator I can't uninstall it.
thanks and regards,
andrea
I'm creating apps by VS 2015.
My Project is made by UWP. I know this is for Windows Store Apps.
however, My Project is LOB Side Loading.
I compiled and packaged my project, and then I moved to all of files to other computer.
then,
I Set 'Developer mode' in Control Panel.
I executed 'Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned' in PowerShell.
then i excuted 'Add-AppDevPackage.ps1', then my app installed successfully.
However, I found my app in start menu, but I couldn't click that !!
I couldn't launch that.
How can I do to launch my uwp app in other computer?
I am creating a Xamarin project, and I made it working with Android and iOS, but I can't figure out how to start the Windows Phone 8.1 emulator.
Windows Phone 8.1 is created as a project just like the other platforms.
I am running Visual Studio 2015 Community and Xamarin Business.
EDIT
I made it running by setting it as startup project, but are there others way by e.g. changing the project (where you choose if it is debug or release)?
I also want to know, how I can create the application to Windows store
To create app package go to
Project->Store->Create App Package - It will open wizard for creating app package that You are able to send to store (reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh975357.aspx)
As for the other ways:
In Visual Studio 2015 You can choose in taskbar: debug/release, CPU architecture, startup project and where to deploy an app - eg. emulator or device
I am running Windows 8.1 with Visual Studio Professional 2013 including Update 1.
I want to write apps which can be deployed to Windows Phone, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Android.
Here is a great tutorial on what I want to do
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=PLR6WI6W1JdeYSXLbm58jwAKYT7RQR31-W&v=_DHDMNB_IeY&t=107s
but right at the start when the Portable class library is created the presenter has the option on the 'Add Portable Class Library' window where you can select the target frameworks, the video has "Mono for Android' but I do not have the option.
I assume that I need to install it through Extensions and Updates. It finds the 'Ninja Coder for MvvmCross' by Adrian Sudbury. It prompts me to download, I follow the link, download and run the msi, it successfully installs, then restart VS2013 but the MvvmCross does not appear in the list of installed packages.
Reading the link
http://www.nuget.org/packages/MvvmCross.HotTuna.Plugin.All/
I need to type on the PM> console
Install-Package MvvmCross.HotTuna.Plugin.All
this does stuff and returns
....
Successfully added 'MvvmCross.HotTuna.Plugin.All 3.1.1' to TestApp.
Then if I try and create a new PCL then I still do not have the option of 'Mono for Android'
How do I create a project that can be deployed to Windows Phone, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Android.
