I have a WinRT UniversalApp in the store. Now I had made a Windows 10 project and ported all files to this project. If I push a release build to the phone with the store app installed than I get a duplicate in the app list. I have changed the mp:PhoneIdentity in the Package.Appxmanifest of the UWP app to the same values of the WinRT Phone Project.
Is there more to do or is there something wrong?

i have a question about certificate for windows phone 8.1 Universal app.
I passed these steps but certificate wasn't appeare in project:
I open it in Visual Studio 2015.
Right click project and choose Store=>Associate app with store
I log in my microsoft developer account and choose app from the list
I checke information about Publisher, Package and so on and press next
After these steps Package.StoreAssociation.xml is created, but AppName_StoreKey.pfx isn't.
Please, help me. What should I do to get AppName_StoreKey.pfx certificate.
(I don't need test certificate).
Thank you.
For my experience, only Windows 8.1 app project will contain a TemporaryKey.pfx file. If you create a universal Windows 8.1 app, it will include an AppName.Windows_TemporaryKey.pfx file under the Windows 8.1 project but not Windows Phone 8.1. This should also apply to the _StoreKey.pfx.
But it won't make effect on your package submission. Just make sure you have associated your app with the Store, the identity info will be aligned automatically. You can still manage to upload your package:

Also, you can check the two Windows universal 8.1 package manifests in designer.
The Windows 8.1 package manifest have the choose certificate option while Windows phone 8.1 does not:
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:

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 developed an app for Windows Phone 8.1 but now I want the same app to developed in Windows phone 8.0. It is possible to do that? Is there any migration tool available or I need to develop from scratch.
No you can't downgrade any app after you've started developing. IF you wanted to develop a WP8 as you said have to start it from the scratch. But still you can upgrade a WP8 app to WP 8.1 (For Silverlight Apps). If it's normal WinRT app you can only develop targeting 8.1 only.
For more have a look here
Hope it helps!
You just compile the 8.0 release and upload the *:xap to the store without deleting your 8.1 *.appxupload.
Uppdate App >> Upload and describe your package(s) >> Add new
You might wanna consider making a phone 7 app for best coverage (7 will work for 8.0 users).
I have just updated my Visual Studio Professional 2013 with update 2 RC. I made a simple app to try. I choose to release and click the build button in projects but it isn't work for creating xxxx.appx file. It's creating xxx.exe and other files.
How can I create .appx package in 8.1 ?
Like windows phone 8.0 apps for windows phone store 8.1 apps there is no.xap file is created after running the app.Windows phone store 8.1 apps are deployed through windows store with .appx file.So that you have to right click on the on project, go to store, create app package.You wont get a xap but an appx, which is the new xap.
