Install XAP file locally in windows phone 8.1 device

Hope You are doing well.
Actually i have created one windows phone 8 application. So for testing i have installed the .xap file locally into windows phone 8 and it is working fine. But if i am going to install that .xap package in windows phone 8.1 or later it is not getting installed.
I have made research and found that the windows phone 8.1 and later OS version devices are accepting the APPX Package. They will not allow to install .XAP locally. Now the scenario is like that my client wants to test this application in windows phone 8.1 device.
So, Can anyone help me out that how can we install locally XAP package into windows phone 8.1 device?
Awaiting Response. Thanks in advance.
You can sideload your .xap package on Windows Phone 8.1 device using Windows Phone Application Deployment Tool (for 8.1).
Before installing , you need to ensure the device has been registered for development. You can use Windows Phone Developer Registration (8.1) to enable your device for development.
And you could search for the tool from the Windows 8.1 start menu.

Deploying Windows Phone 8.1 app to Windows 10 Mobile

I've been developing a Windows Phone 8.1 app using C#/XAML. My configuration is up-to-date Windows 8.1 PC + Visual Studio 2013.
I can test my app on WP 8.1 emulator that comes with VS2013, and also no problem deploying it on physical Windows 8.1 device.
However the app also runs on Windows 10 Mobile because the platform currently allows it that way. Which is good except, my app doesn't work as intended since the device got Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update.
I don't know if the problem is in Windows or in my app but that's not important here.
I need to create a hotfix for the issue. And here comes the question. Is there a way to deploy WP 8.1 app to Windows 10 Mobile without submitting it to the store first, without upgrading to Windows 10, and preferably without upgrading to VS2015?
UPDATE The reason I want to deploy WP 8.1 app to Windows 10 Mobile is to test if my patch fixes the issue manifests with Windows 10 Mobile. At the moment I don't understand where is the problem and keep submitting the fix attempts to the store is not ideal.
Thanks.
Is there a way to deploy WP 8.1 app to Windows 10 Mobile without submitting it to the store first, without upgrading to Windows 10, and preferably without upgrading to VS2015?
Yes, it is possible to deploy WP8.1 app to the Windows 10 Mobile without submitting it to store and without upgrading to Windows 10 and without upgrading to VS2015. But you need to make sure you have the Windows 10 Mobile device for you to test.
If the Windows 10 Mobile device is in your side, you can unlock the Windows 10 Mobile device and deploy your app to the Windows 10 Mobile device by using the USB with the same method that you deploy it to the Windows Phone 8.1 Mobile device.
Or you can try to sideload your app on the Windows 10 Mobile device without submitting it to the store by using the Application Deployment tool. For more information, please try to refer to this article:How to deploy Windows Phone 8.1 apps with the Application Deployment tool.

Need to convert my Windows Phone 8.1 app code to Windows phone 8

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).

Upgradewindows phone 8 project

Is it possible to upgrade a recent project that I started developping with windows phone 8 sdk and continue it with windows phone 8.1 or do I have to restart from scratch
If you want to target Windows Phone 8.1 (Silverlight Application) then you don't need to start from scratch, you will be able to upgrade from your Windows Phone 8 (Silverlight Project) but if you want to target Windows Phone 8.1 (New Universal App API's) then you will have to develop your application from scratch.
