I'm working on a Xamarin cross platform project. There is a Android and WinPhone 8 project yet. Everything worked fine. Now I moved to project to another PC. I'm working with Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2015 community version.
I installed the Windows Phone SDK 8 and tried to load the project in Visual Studio. The Android project is ok but on the WinPhone project there is written (unavailable) in the project explorer but the files are in the correct directory.
I also tried to install a Windows Phone 8 SDK update but I always get the message "It needs Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 to install this". I also installed Visual Studio 2013 but still get the message.
Did I miss something to install? Already tried to Repair Visual Studio 2015 but it's still the same.
Ok I solved the problem. It's so ridiculous. The SDK and Visual Studio have to be the same language. Otherwise it will not work... well played Microsoft, well played...

When I try to build for Windows Phone the sdk can't complete the build and dies with exit code 1, the only error I can see is part of the sdk for windows phone.
Default alloy app project has the same result of my app! Is anybody able to build for windows phone with Titanium ?
My environment:
Windows 10
TiSDK 5.1.1
Visual Studio Community 2015
NodeJS 0.12.7
Well, not sure we tried with SDK 5.1.1...
But we can build using SDK 5.2.0 - however, there are many things that don't work. The next version (5.3.x) is targeted against Windows Mobile. And by using the nightly build we could actually make ti.map work :-)
So I suggest you go down that route until 5.3.x is officially released (mid April, if I remember correctly).
Edited:
Just for completeness. We are running on:
Windows 10 professional
Node.js v. 0.12.7
Visual Studio 2015 Community edition

I've have a strange error with Windows Phone Emulator.
Last time I used Visual Studio 2013 and everything worked fine.
Recently I try Visual Studio 2014 CTP parallel with VS2013 but now I cannot debug Windows Phone app with Emulator from VS2013.
The app deploy successful and I can run it from Emulator but when I hit F5 VS always show:
"The application could not be launched for debugging. Ensure that the target device screen is unlocked and that the application is installed."
I've removed all Visual Studio 2014 CTP and Emulator 14 but it's not effect.
Could anyone here have similar error?
Please show me what problems is?
Thanks in advance.
The only time I have seen this error was when the app is already installed on device\Emulator, I had to remove the app , then hit F5 to work.
I'm going to learn to develop WP app. I installed Visual Studio 2013. VS 2013 have an option to install WP 8.0 SDK. And I knew the site (http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk) has a link to download WP 8.0 SDk. Help me about difference between them. Do I need to install them all for my purpose?
With Visual Studio 2013, there is no difference between these two methods of installing the WP8 SDK. It was added as an optional component when installing Visual Studio 2013 for convenience.
Be aware, it's not possible to develop for Windows Phone 7 (or open existing projects) with Visual Studio 2013 + WP8 SDK.
I am running Windows 8 x64 and have Visual Studio 2012 with the latest update and Visual Studio 2013 preview (latest update) installed. I also have the Windows Phone SDK for Windows Phone 8 development on Visual Studio 2012.
I have read somewhere online that there is no SDK required for Windows Phone 8 on Visual Studio 2013. But Where is the new phone project option?
Found it,
had to modify my vs2013 installation... (stupid me)
Is it an idea to leave this online for the community? (if I forget it again, and cannot find a source online lol!)
For future references, I installed the Visual Studio 2013 Professional edition where the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK apparently wasn't included in the default installation. I browsed to the Windows Phone Dev Center to download the SDK but this way doesn't integrate with Visual Studio 2013 as well - it surprisingly put Visual Studio 2012 Express edition on the PC...
The only way to be able to incorperate the Windows Phone SDK is by modifying the installation of Visual Studio 2013, just as the OP states.
If you are on Windows 7, you won't see the option to install the Windows Phone 8 SDK. It requires Windows 8 or later, 64 bit.
I have Visual Studio 2012 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. I went to install the Windows 8 SDK, and it installed fine on one of my computers, on which I installed the SDK before installing the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1. But on my second computer, where I installed the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 before the SDK, I got the following error: KB2744908 Element not found.
Not sure if I would worry about this, or not.
I've attached a screenshot, so you can see the issue. Thanks!
It seems to have fixed itself. After rebooting and allowing the installer to finish after reboot, the SDK works fine. I have successfully created, edited, built, and deployed an application (albeit it was very simple) using the SDK.
