Is there any way to develop wp8 app using Visual Studio Community 2013 edition? I've installed wp8 sdk, but still I can't see wp8 template.
File > New Project > Visual C# > Windows Store Apps > Windows Phone Applications > Blank App(Silverlight Application for Windows Phone)
insert the name of the project and click ok!
Visual studio will prompt you to choose between 8.0 or 8.1!
Choose 8.0, done! ;)

I developed a Windows Phone 8 App in Visual Studio 2012 and I'd like to create the Store/App Package. The documentation says I should have a "Project" > "Store" > "Create App Package" menu option, but there is no "Store" option in my "Project" Tab.
If you are developing Windows Phone 8 app in Visual Studio, you don't need to proceed above method. Just run your application.
You will find .XAP file in YourProject/Bin/Debug. Upload the .XAP file. If you are creating Universal apps or Windows Phone 8.1 app, there you may create App Package.
I want to develop windows phone 8 app but I installed update 2 of visual studio 2013 which only develop windows phone 8.1 app.Is there any way to do so?
You can definitely still create Windows Phone 8.0 projects with Visual Studio 2013.
When looking at the new project templates you want to look at Visual C#->Store Apps->Windows Phone Apps. From there scroll to the bottom, you want to choose from the Windows Phone Silverlight App templates. Choose any of them and you'll be prompted to target 8.0 or 8.1. Choose 8.0 and you should be good to go.
I developed a small game using html5/javascript.
I hope to run it on windows phone.
I am using visual studio express 2012 to develop app.
As I know, windows phone 8.0 supports winjs/html5 development.
But I can not find where is javascript project creator(likes in VS 2012 for winrt) in visual studio express 2012.
There is only html5 app option under c# item
Your comment welcome
Visual Studio Express 2012 can be used to write Windows 8 apps with WinJS, but not Windows Phone 8 apps. Writing apps with HTML/CSS/JS and WinJS on is supported starting with Windows Phone 8.1, in which case you need Visual Studio Express 2013. See http://www.visualstudio.com/en-US/products/visual-studio-express-vs.
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 need to learn to program Windows 8 "Windows Store" apps (formerly called Metro.) Instead of Windows 8, I have a license of Windows Server 2012. The question is, can I run and program Metro apps (written in HTML 5) on Windows Server 2012? I have Visual Studio 2012 I can install on the server.
No. You can't.
Metro apps is only suported for Windows 8.
You can install SDK LINK and run apps on emulator.
