I am building an app with Xamarin Forms and XLabs plugins.
To be able to run everything smoothly on Android and Windows Phone, i've had to use a prerelease version of xlabs (2.2.0-pre05).
When I tried to create a Windows Phone appstore package the certification failed because the packages for 2.2.0-pre05 have been built in debug mode.
To overcome this, I cloned the git hub project for XLabs and built everything in release mode.
The problem is, when I try to build the project with the packages i've built, I get this error:
Payload file '..\packages\Mike Xlabs\XLabs.Platform.WinRT.Phone\FodyWeavers.xml' does not exist.
Also, the windows store certification checks fail because of libraries used by the prerelease package.I'm getting the following error:
Error Found: The supported APIs test detected the following errors:
This API is not supported for this application type - Api=D2D1GetGradientMeshInteriorPointsFromCoonsPatch. Module=d2d1.dll. File=SharpDX.Direct2D1.dll.
Impact if not fixed: Using an API that is not part of the Windows SDK for Windows Phone Store apps violates the Windows Phone Store certification requirements.

In trying to run integration tests on my windows store app but the sideloading of my test appx file fails with error (0x80073CF3):
Windows cannot install package (my package GUID) because this package depends on another package that could not be found. This package requir
es minimum version 12.0.21005.1 of framework Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00 published by any publisher to install. Provide the framework along with this package..
The same procedure works fine on my dev machine (from powershell).
A Microsoft blog post states:
...In order to facilitate this scenario for sideloaded apps, we have made
the framework packages available here.
After downloading, and extracting the relevant architecture appx file, I installed it via powershell:
Add-AppxPackage "C:\temp\Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00_12.0.21005.1_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx"

I think WP8 is not supported, only Windows 10. Look here:
"We will not be supporting WP8.
We may support W10 with V1, but we will definitely support W10 with V2."
and
For many, this is probably not the Windows Phone 8 update you were hoping for, but we just couldn’t get Ionic apps to perform well enough on that platform to officially support it. With all the changes and updates in the Windows/Edge ecosystem over the last few months, it made sense to just wait and see how it all played out.

Happy that the Android .apk file I built using "ionic build android" worked on a Samsung Note phone.
I would like to try the same app but on a different hardware which is my Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8.
So I added the platform wp8 first and it went well.
$ ionic platform add wp8

Take a closer look at the logs:

It is only possible to build wp8 apps on Windows. Of course, you could use Bootcamp, Parallels or any other virtual machine.
I am working on a Windows Phone 8 project where we are deploying it as a company app through HockeyApp. I have a .PFX file generated from our Symantec cert and the correct .aetx file installed on the device.
If I take the .XAP file I intend to deploy and copy it somewhere separate and test it by deploying it using the XapDeploy.exe tool, it will install silently and work properly. Then I use the XapSignTool to sign the .XAP against the .PFX successfully ("XapSignTool Success: Successfully signed = C:\xxx").
When I attempt to test this recently signed XAP with the XapDeploy tool I will get the error "Error - Installation of the application failed. Run time error has occurred. Fix the Capabilities in the WMAppManifest.xml file." If deploy this file with HockeyApp the install will silently fail on the device and appear to just sit there after download.
Does anybody know what could be causing this after code signing?
I was able to resolve my issue. First, a codesigned XAP will not run in the emulator unless you have already installed the AET file on that current running version of the emulator. So, it was incorrect for me to to expect not to see a failure after the XAP was signed.
I then encountered some other issues when deploying to my device. This was resolved by making sure that the Publisher ID GUID was the same as the Publisher ID used for the Symantec cert.
Also, as opposed to using the XapSigningTool directly I ended up using the PowerShell script that runs both the MDILXAPCompile and signs the XAP in a single step (making the post-build step easy to write). The ps script BuildMDILXap.ps1 is found under \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\MDILXAPCompile\ and ships with the SDK apparently.
If i check the capability "Shared Used Certificates" in the Windows Phone 8.1 application manifest i get the following error:
Error : DEP0001 : Unexpected Error: Package could not be registered.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CF6)
Manifest
<Capability Name="sharedUserCertificates" />
I am trying to deploy to a Nokia Lumia Icon with Windows Phone 8.1 developer preview.
Any idea what i am doing wrong or what prereq is not met?
I was able to deploy my app to the emulator, but not to a real device. I got the same error. I asked my contacts at the Phone Team and they said this is a bug and will be fixed with the post RTM updates. It should definitely be possible to sideload apps using the 'sharedUserCertificates' to real devices for normal app developers.
Getting such an app deployed through the Store may be restricted, though. This scenario is primarily meant for enterprise apps, deployed within enterprises.
I wrote a blog post about this.
If I set my phone to install apps to the phone it works just fine. If I switch it back then I get the error.
It has something to do with SD cards!! Not the SD cards per-se , but the mech The only thing different was I installed a new SD card this weekend to my Lumia 1520 with Developer Unlock. I am running VS 2013 Update 4 and have a StandAlone Phone application using a Windows 8.1 shared app class. It was working before and now its not. same error as MAGNUS
With save apps to SD CARD setting in storage sense set
If you use verbose build output it eventually says:
2>Follow the phone setting 2>Phone setting says apps to be installed
to SD card 2>layout root folder:
D:\WPSystem\SharedData\PhoneTools\AppxLayouts
With save apps to PHONE card setting in storage sense
If you use verbose build output it eventually says:
2>Follow the phone setting 2>Phone setting says apps to be installed
to internal storage 2>layout root folder:
C:\Data\SharedData\PhoneTools\AppxLayouts
search your Detailed or "verbose" build output for the term "Phone setting says"
That will get you close. Good luck.
I can confirm that VS 2013 Update 4 causes the error:
Error : DEP0001 : Unexpected Error: Package could not be registered.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CF6)
My application was deploying to the phone fine before the update, and started failing immediately after the update. Modifying settings:
Settings/Storage Sense/Store New apps on my: phone
Solved the problem. Thanks Matt for the tip, saved me alot of time.
Try to uninstall current application in your phone, and run agian.
For me its solved
This problem can be related to re-use of the same app template on Windows Phone (does not affect Windows desktop apps). In the Windows Phone section of the solution explorer, find your app manifest file (Package.appxmanifest), and review the following line near the top of the file (#'s in this example are representative, not actual):
<mp:PhoneIdentity PhoneProductId="12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789ABC" PhonePublisherId="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" />
If you have re-used the same app template, then the PhoneProductId number must be different from one iteration to the next. I suggest simply iterating the last digit in the string (e.g., change 1 to 2, or 2 to 3, etc....). Once you make certain all your Windows Phone apps have individualized values in this field, you should be able to deploy them all independently.
It could also be a missing image in the Package.appxmanifest. Check the visual assets tab in this file (VisualElements in XML) to see if there is some logo missing.
I changed package name in Package.appxmanifest file. So I had to Uninstall app and Re Installation helped me.
