How publish a windows phone 8.1 using cordova 7.x and Visual Studio 2017 Comunity - windows-phone-8

We have a developer acount and We published applications for windows phone 8.1 in the Window Store.
We used visual studio 2013 and Cordova 3.7.0. over windows 8.1
Our Apps could be opened in real windows phone 8 devices conected vía USB to PC.
Today We need update App in the store and We have installed windows 10 and Visual studio 2017 Comunity.
Visual studio shows errors with original cordova folder project so We updated nodejs and cordova to latest version. Cordova now is 7.0.1 version.
We add wp8 platform : cordova platform add wp8
But get error no
Error: Failed to fetch platform wp8
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
It seems that wp8 platform no longer exists, right?
So We added windows platform : cordova platform add windows
This time cordova install platform windows 5.0.0
With this platform, We can open the solution in Visual studio 2017 and even We can launch it in Windows emulator very well.
but We cannot launch it in windows phone 8 emulator.
But We cannot launch it in a windows phone 8 real device conected vía USB to PC.
error in windows phone emulator is:
Gravedad Código Descripción Proyecto Archivo Línea Estado suprimido
Error DEP0001: Error inesperado: SmartDeviceException - El dato
necesario para completar esta operación no está disponible todavía.
[0x80131500] CordovaApp.Windows10
Visual studio 2017 is logged in our developer account correctly.
We have been searching a lot but still do not get clear about how Msoft and cordova face the creation and publishing on windows phone 8 or 8.1.
Is this still possible? , Is there a new platform for mobile devices in microsoft?, Is it enough to use the windows platform in cordova to be able to publish to devices and test on windows phone devices?
Sorry our english and sorry if We have not explained ourselves well in something that makes the question unclear.
Let us get any questions about our question or further clarification at some point as the idea is to cooperate to help others pass.
Thanks in advance.

Windows phone - You have installed the maximum number of development app

I have a windows app that's running for a while and recently when I'm trying to deploy the application on windows phone running windows 8.1 OS(using visual studio 2013 and windows phone application deployment) I'm getting the following error:
"You have installed the maximum number of development apps. These apps are installed to your device when you start them in Visual Studio or when you use the App Deployment Tool. Please uninstall one of them and then try again."
I've tried to reset the phone, renaming the app and the phone on windows explorer, unregister & register the phone and also uninstalling all the other applications on it.
The problem is happening on two different devices Nokia Lumia 630 & Nokia Lumia 920.
Is there another way to approach this?
Thanks in advance
This issue has been fix now and we can register our Windows Phone 8.1 for developing:
Could you please try to unregister the Phone from the Dev Center and register Phone again to see if it works?

Windows Phone Emulator 8 can't install Xamarin application

I have created a Xamarin application and compiled to Release. It was succesfully tested on an Android emulator so I decided to deploy it to a Windows Phone 8.0 Emulator.
I tried to use the Application Deployment but it cannot install because it starts the emulator that never boots, it shows OS starting (starting the emulator on its own is working).
So I downloaded it to the phone and when I try to open it, it says:
Can't install company app. There is a problem with this company app.
Contact your company's support person for help.
Why is the app considered company app? How can I install it to the emulator? What should I set?
The solution consists of two steps.
The company app issue is present because I've downloaded the application from a website, so it is unsafe (the source is the Internet). I have to install it through application deployment (via Visual Studio 2013 or the Windows Phone Application Deployment application).
The second step is to discard (and uninstall) Windows Phone 8.0 and change to Windows Phone 8.1. That helps a lot.

Visual Studio Error: DEP6250

everytime I try to start my app on my Lumia 1020 I get this error:
Error: DEP6250 : The Device runs on a not supported version of the OS
(I translated it from german...)
I "unlocked" my phone a few minutes ago so I think that this won't be the problem.
I also searched for an update but everything is fine...
I used the free Visual Studio express 2013 for store developers
Does anyone have ideas?
Your problem is that you are probably trying to deploy a Windows Phone 8.1 app to a device running Windows Phone 8.0. That is not possible. You need to Either create a Windows Phone 8.0 app and run it on the device or update your device to Windows Phone 8.1 in order to run WP8.1 apps. Windows Phone 8.0 apps will work on WP8.1 but the other way around will not happen.

Difference between Windows Phone project and Silverlight Windows Phone project in Visual Studio 2013

I recently updated my Visual Studio 2013 such now it allows to develop Windows Phone 8.1 applications.
But now, when I create a Windows Phone project, it is systematically for WP 8.1 and I can't change the target.
The only way I found in order to develop WP 8.0 apps it's to create Silverlight Windows Phone project.
Whence my question : What's the concrete difference between Windows Phone project and Silverlight Windows Phone projet in Visual Studio 2013 ?
Thanks for any answer
The Windows Phone project uses the Windows Runtime APIs. A lot of the Windows Runtime API introduced in Windows Phone 8 project is common to both Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8, making it easier to write once and share code between your apps on both platforms.
As expected the Windows Phone Silverlight project uses the Silverlight based APIs.

Windows Phone 8 SDK debug wont start

I have installed Windows Phone 8 SDK, openened the VS express for Windows Phone,
created New Project with simple app, pressed F5, but the emulator wont start.
Is comes up with error:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x89721800
I don't have any network drivers installed which should be called Windows Phone Emulator.
I have Windows 8, with built-in Administrator account and full privs.
P.s. Main reason for this I want to deploy some apps on my Nokia Lumia 800.
I have unlocked it, but when i was deploying app with deployment tool, it came up with the same error message.
P.p.s I've installed Windows Phone SDK 7 and there the emulator worked, but i can't find any way to deploy app to phone
I blogged about this a couple of weeks ago. You can see the full details here: Resolving windows Phone Emulator Problems
XDE cleanup, and Hyper-V is a very common reson for problems with the emulator!
Regarding deployment to phone from windows phone sdk 7, remember to change debug device from "Emulator WVGA 512 MB" (or what ever you use) to "Device", and always start Zune before your start debugging and deployment.
If you had installed Windows 8 (Single Language or Home Edition) with Windows Phone 8 SDK you can't develop mobile applications because it doesn't support Hyper-V.
The only way to work with Windows Phone 8 is to change your OS to Windows Pro or higher.
