I had submitted one of my windows phone 8.1 app on the windows phone store and marked it as beta release.. I had provided the couple of testers microsoft emails as test users(couple of emails separated with semicolon) and submitted the app.. The app was approved and when i try to install on my device using the tester microsoft account, then it shows the error message like "You don't have permissions to install the app".
Below is the screen shot of beta selection of the app and emails provided. Please let me know if i am missing anything like any permissions to be given to testers in beat release of the app.
Thanks

I have developed a windows phone 8 application. I have a developer account and unlocked device. Now I'm able to deploy/install the application in my phone through windows phone development sdk.
Now I want to install this application in another device ( a device of my friend, who is in different location). I don't want to put this application in the app store. I want to mail the XAP file only to him. So is there any other way to install this (XAP file) application in his mobile.
I am looking forward your responses.
Thanks.
Answer 1:
Your friend has to unlock his device with a developer account in order to install it. Can use the "Application Deployment Tool" to install the XAP.
(This goes well only if your friend is a developer)
Answer 2: (Easiest way for your friend to install)
You can release a beta in the store, and include the Microsoft ID of your friend as a beta tester. And after releasing the app, you can email the link to your friend. Beta release is fast and it usually goes live within 1 hour.
You could use the "Targeted distribution to customers with specified email addresses".
That means that you will publish the app on the store, but it will only be available for the users that you want.
We have a problem when trying to list the application signed in the applicationcenter/installers/html.
We get the unsigned applicationCenter app for Windows Phone from the MFP Server repository.
We get a certificate from Symantec (who delivers the certificates for Windows applications).
We signed the applicationCenter app for Windows Phone from the Windows Phone sdk using the certificate delivered by Symantec.
We install the signed applicationCenter app in the applicatonCenter console choosing Installer option.
We generated a token with AETGenerator tool that we uploaded and registered in the application center console for the applicationCenter app for Windows Phone.
We connected to http://hostname:portnumber/applicationcenter/installers.html from the Windows Phone device and we accept the token.
Then we refresh the screen and get a message that the list of application is empty whereas we should see the applicationCenter app signed for WindowsPhone.
Does anyone ever face this issue?
Thanks.
Do you see the Windows Phone App Center Client when you open the AppCenter Console in the browser? Can you add any IPA file and mark it as Installer? If you then see the IPA file in the installers.html page of the Windows Phone Device, you are running into an incompatibility that was recently introduced by Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1.
This problem was fixed by an ifix. Depending on your version, you need the following ifix:
7.0.0.x: IF20150407-1506
6.3.0.x: IF20150403-1749
6.2.0.x: IF20150407-0051
6.1.0.x: IF20150407-0051
Note that the first 8 digits of the ifix are a date. Any ifix with a later date is also ok. Ifixes can be obtained from https://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/

I'm doing a Windows Phone 8.1 application. It works ok, I can try it on emulator and on my phone, because I've registered it.
Now, I have to pass the app to my client to test it (they are going to test it on multiple devices). I was looking but I didn't find any aswer to this questions:
How can I create and send them an appx that they can install on their phones?
What kind of developer license I need?
Do they have to register their phones with the same certificate I create the appx?
How can they install the appx I've sent them via email for example?
Thank you very much!
sideloading Windows Phone appx files is not directly possible if the device is no registered developer device. And sadly there can be only 3 devices registered.
You can set up a new app in your developer account dashboard and submit it to the store as a beta version. Then you can "invite" up to 10000 people by entering their email addresses.

I am developing Windows Phone application in that I want installed applications of phones but I searched a lot on this issue , there is no solution available. So I m trying to get Windows Live ID of windows phone so my question is that from Windows Live ID can I get installed applications in that phone related with that id..?Can anyone help me ?
Thank you.
Its not possible for a 3rd party developer app to get the list of apps installed on phone. There is no such communication existing in the present versions.
You could use launchers(available in wp8 only) for app to app communication like for opening a file or so. But getting the list of apps installed isn't possible. Atleast not in the present versions.
i.e, Sending data to app is possible but not receiving the data from one.
Could you please guide me on how to deploy windows phone 8 apps on other windows phone for testing without phone developer account or any other means . Just deploy the .XAP in any other windows phone and test or for giving demo.
there can be many ways to deploy app on phone..
1. by launching a beta version of the app and giving microsoft account of the people you want to send it. it will be a 90 days trial and then app will be removed. while this you can also update your app for testers.
by using SD card. put your xap in sd card and then deploy on phone ...
here is the link which might help you

Take a look at this article, it describes the process. You need to register the phone, this process is now free. After the phone has been registered you can deploy apps to it using Visual Studio.
