I have Windows Phone 8 Live on Store and before upgrading to UWP , I want to check upgrade scenario to confirm that everything works ok when the user updates the app. I have a code base for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 10. I tried to run Windows Phone 8 code in Windows 10 v14393 emulator but it gives me an error and due to that I can't check upgrade flow.
Can someone suggest how to check upgrade flow for Windows Apps using Visual Studio and Windows 10 Emulator?

I created an app with Visual Studio 2015 in this way : new Project -> Visual C# -> Windows -> Windows 8 -> Windows Phone.
My question is , is this app compatible with windows phone 7? I read something that the WinRT can make this happen, but I am not sure.
I tested the app on an Samsung device with Windows Phone 8.1 and it worked perfectly, can I assume that it works on Windows Phone 8 the same?
What about Windows 10 mobile? Is a Windows Phone 8.1 app installable on a device running on Windows 10 mobile?
I read the Wikipedia article about Windows Phone 8, but I did'nt get the information I was looking for.
Your app will work on Windows Phone 8/8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile.
It will not work on Windows Phone 7 devices.
My advice is to check better how it works on Windows 10 mobile - you might have surprises where the UI is slighlty different or some controls won't work as expected.
I am trying to create my first Store app for Windows 8.
I installed VS2015 RC and the Windows Software Development Kit for Windows 8 (I followed the instructions at this page).
Unfortunately I can't see the Windows Apps templates in VS, differently from what the link shows .
I am running VS2015 Enterprise RC on a Windows 7 machine.
What am I missing? Thank you
Minimum required OS for developing Windows Store Apps is Windows 8. With Windows 7 you wont be able to develop Store apps.
I am trying to run my application on the Windows Phone 8 emulator on my laptop running Windows 8.1. When I start the emulator, I get this message: The Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V. Your PC is missing the following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V: Windows 8 Professional (64-bit)
I am already paying Microsoft to publish Windows Phone apps, I already paid them for my phone, and for Surface which does have Windows 8 Pro. Is there any way to run the emulator on my development computer without paying them to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro? (or getting it by shadier methods)
I checked to see if Hyper-V was listed in Windows Features, and it was not.
You need Hyper-V to run Windows Phone 8 emulator images since they are exactly that - images. They are not emulators like Windows Phone 7 emulators and they are only available on SLAT supporting processors and in Windows 8 64-bit.
If you have Surface Pro, you can develop on it. I managed to do that. If you have the normal Surface (not the pro version), you cannot run your development environment on it.
Zune does not recognize Windows Phone 8 devices? I can't run my project with the "Windows Phone Device" debug configuration. My OS is Windows 7, so my SDK should be the 7th. I've read that I need Windows SDK 8 so I could run my project in my Windows Phone 8, but for that I need to have Windows 8 in my PC as well. Is there any way to avoid this, and run successfully my 7.1 version app, in my Windows 7 PC, with the 7th SDK installed on my Windows Phone 8 device?
Thank you and sorry for the bad english.
For testing your app on Windows Phone 8 device you need Windows 8 + Windows Phone 8 SDK, or Visual Studio 2013 with this SDK built in.
Or you can upload your app as 'beta app' to Windows Phone Store and test it there, but that's not ideal for debugging, only for the final app testing.
I want to develop an app that works on windows 7 and lesser and support windows 8
i'm asking if the "The compatibility section of the manifest" can resolve the problem, and i want suggestions
thanks ;)
If its a windows application(desktop) it will.. But in case of Windows store app, you have only Windows 8 to run it.
