I've been trying to deploy vcREG to my Windows Phone using the deployment app installed while installing Windows Phone SDK. I downloaded the app over the internet and I wanted to interop unlock my phone using it. But, while installing, it gives me an error, to fix capabilities in the WMAppManifest.xml file. Please help me by providing the correct file with all capabilities fixed.

I have developed few apps in windows store 8.1 and i want to port them to windows 10.
Previously when windows 8.1 has released, In Visual Studio when you open the windows store 8 app code, in the solution we had an option called target to windows store 8.1, then it takes care of everything.
Now how to Port Windows store 8.1 apps to Windows 10 using C# and xaml
Any help or any article on this please?
Thanks in advance
The best way to do this is to create a new Windows 10 project based on the universal template and then copy all the source files and assets to it. There's a detailed description on MSDN here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn705768.aspx
and here:

0) Install Win10 RTM
OK? =)
(But, If you just want to bulid the UWP project, Win8.1 is also ok. But you can't use the xaml designer, inspector, etc.... I can't recomend this way)
1) Install VS2015 RTM and Win10SDK RTM.
By default, Win10SDK is NOT installed. You should select the Win10 SDK from installation option dialog.
1.5) Update NuGET 3.1.
You can see the Flag Icon on the top-right corner of VS2015 Window. Click it to install Nuget Update.
2) Migrate your solution and project.
You should modify your .csproj manually with this guide.
Migrate apps to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)
After that, you can build your app with VS2015.
Note - if you got the thousands of compile error, try Installing following nuget package from nuget console.
Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform
3) Modifying your app to suit for UWP manner

Cuz i have to upload my app package so as to publish it.. so am stuck with it.
i Have also logind with my developer microsoft account to0.
Edit:
actually in Visual Studio 2013,
in PROJECT > STORE> (all the options available are disabled)... so this the problem.
If your app is Windows Phone 8.1 App, you can create appx package using project -> store in vs.
But if your app is Windows Phone 8 App or Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 App, you don't need to create appx file, the only file you need is xap file in Bin/Release(or Debug) folder. When you publish it, just upload your xap file is OK.
Happened the same to me, and (after 20 minutes of VS restarts), I realized the Project needs to be selected instead of the Solution at the Solution Explorer.
This way all Store options are enabled again.
I have created a windows Phone application, and how do I give this application to the client, Do I give him my project folder i.e Getcontacts? and also client wants to install this application to emulator because in the client machine only emulator is installed.
Is there any way to create the install file of the application that I give to the client and client will easily install into the emulator. Kindly suggest me on these queries..
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks.
If the client has the emulator installed, he can deploy a XAP to it using 'Application Deployment' (open the start menu and type Application Deployment). You can select the target (one of the emulators) and then choose the XAP file.
On your end, set the build configuration to Release and build the solution. Then navigate to the project folder/Bin/Release and that's where you will find the .xap that you need to send to your client.
Here's an MSDN article for the Application Deployment tool: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff402565(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_tool
To test the app your client need to be a registered developer(He need to create developer account on Microsoft developer.
To Access Application Deployment tool your client needs to install Windows Phone SKD
then launch Application Deployment tool from installed SDK folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\XapDeploy.exe
OR launch it from start menu by typing Application Deployment.
Now he just need to give the path of the xap file(debug or release version) and select the desired testing target.
P:S. you can also deploy the app on app store and set publish version to beta for testing the app at any device without having developer account and installing windows phone SDK.
According to official guide - i have to build a .appxupload file via special Wizard. Unfortunately, i simply don't have the option "Store" in Project menu. I only have "test Store" with opportunities to test my app's icons, XAP-file, etc.. Can anyone help with this stupid situation? Thanks in advance.
Windows Phone 8.0 apps are packaged in .xap files.
Windows Phone 8.1 apps are packaged in .appx/.appxupload files.
Your app is an 8.0 app so your app will be packaged in a .xap file which is generated when you build the app using the mode Release.
If you want to output a .appx file you'll need to do the following:
Get Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 RTM
Convert your 8.0 app to an 8.1 app
Right-click the project and go to Store -> Create App Packages...
I get the error code 80073cf9 when I try to install an 8.1 app (.appx) from the Store on my 920 with 8.1 Preview.
The app is 8.1 only and I'm able to run it and install it when deploying from my laptop.
I have the development build installed on my phone.
Solution
Uninstall the development build from your phone and then you will be able to download the app from Store.
Some interesting facts
Since 8.1 (.appx) you can not install an app from Store if you already have the app installed. This include your development builds deployed from your computer.
Before 8.1 (.xap) you were able to run both your development build and the Store app at the same time. This was since the Store changed the GUID of the app when it was uploaded. For some reason Store doesn't change the GUID of the uploaded app anymore.
I also meet the error 80073CF9. With my case, the reason is the setting of memory location. I reproduced the issue as below:
1. I chose phone memory to install apps
2. Second, I updated the phone from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Somehow, I changed to SD card memory to install apps.
3. After upgrading to Windows 10, some apps had to be reinstalled, but the error 80073CF9 raised. At that moment, the phone still used SD card memory to install apps, not the same as the original memory.
--> I switch the memory to install apps from SD card to phone (Setting / Storage / Store new apps on my Phone. It's done.
Conclusion with my case: The memory in order to install application has been changed
I had the same problem on my Lumia 730.
Solution: Go to settings->Tap on storage sense->temporary files-> delete
