I have built a windows phone App and I want to upload it. However, after signing in (with my windows account) and clicking on "Windows phone store" I just get redirected at the same page! I tried to create another account but that didn't help either. I deleted cookies, history,... and even tried with another browser but again nothing. I must also mention that I do not get any message after being redirected.
Could it be that they could have a issue. Can anyone try to access the dashboard?
Any suggestion on what could the problem be are welcome.
This is the linking which I am referring to: https://dev.windows.com/en-us/dashboard
Microsoft removed the problem, in other words newly created accounts can enter the "Windows phone store" dashboard!

I am a developer who is new to Windows Store development.
I wrote one Windows Store App and tried to upload it, yet I encounter some errors after submit the appxupload file.
The error messages are shown as below:
I have no idea how to make my developer account authorized to publish apps with the capability it mentioned. Is there a different set of capability for different developer account for Windows Store Application?
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you!
I've developed a company app for Windows Phone 8, and have gone through all the recommended steps to set it up for installation. I have a Symantec code-signing certificate, and I have generated my Application Enrollment Token and my signed XAP, which I am hosting in a public folder on OneDrive. I generated the XAP using the BuildMDILXap.ps1 script, which ran without errors. I haven't bothered with a company hub app, since we're only distributing a single app.
The AET loads OK on the phone, and asks if I would like to add the workplace account. I click "add", the dialogue box disappears, and no error comes up. There is no confirmation message, however I don't know if I should expect one.
When I load up the XAP, I get the message "Can't install company app. There's a problem with this company app. Contact your company's support person for help."
The phone has been developer unlocked (which of course isn't necessary), and I've had the app side-loaded and running on it successfully before. It was uninstalled before attempting the above, however.
I'm not sure what to do from here. I've tried recompiling and re-signing the XAP and re-generating the AET, but nothing seems to work.
After fruitlessly trying to solve this problem, I found a workaround that does what I need.
It turns out that you can post apps to the public app store, but hide them from searches, essentially making them private to anyone that doesn't have the link. That solves my first problem, getting the app published in a way that my client can access without me needing to have developer licenses for each of their phones.
The downside with that solution is that you still have to wait a few days for an update to be approved, which isn't the greatest when you're still beta-testing and need to make quick changes. However, Microsoft also have a beta program for Windows Phone apps. By designating the app as Beta, submission happens automatically within 2 hours, but you have to restrict access to specific Microsoft accounts. The latter isn't a problem because the number of devices using the app is relatively small.
This removes the need for a corporate app store in my case, and saves the expense of a certificate and the fiddling around that goes with it.
Initially I was able to install on my lumia 620 apps made using app studio.
Now I'm getting the following error.
"We haven’t been able to contact the Microsoft Corporation company account to make sure you can install this app. Make sure you’re connected to a mobile or WiFi network, and we’ll try again as soon as we can.
Unfortunately, it may take a couple of days before we can make that connection. If you continue to have trouble contact your company’s support person for help."
I'm in India and I'm using the same live account I used earlier.
Take a look at this : How do I get my app on my Windows Phone device?
It explains in details all the steps you need to do.
For Windows Phone 8.1
As well as various 3rd party QR Code readers you can use, you can also use Bing vision by doing the following. Open your camera on your Windows phone. Press the “Lenses” button Search icon( Sometimes the lenses button won’t be bound to your screen, you can do this by pressing the three dots and adding it to your bindings ) From here, a new menu will appear with various lenses listed. Choose Bing Vision.
Remember that by clicking “install” you download the app. By clicking Tap to open, you add the company certificate. It pushes you back to “Install company app” at that point, but you do not have to do it a second time. At this point, go to your app menu and you will see your app. Point the phone’s camera at the QR code that opens with the certificate link, and the phone will automatically scan it. Click “add” and the certificate is successfully installed once it returns to the original Install the certificate page.
...... CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS FULLY. PLEASE EXPLAIN
We are distributing the company app and application enrollment token through our company portal. We observe the following behavior. When the user downloads the AETX through the IE 10 that comes with Windows phone 8 there is a prompt that comes as "tap to install", then a prompt to install the certificate automatically appears. After installing the certificate the IE browser tab just stays there. It does not move to my original web site.
We tried to perform the action on the page using various standard technique like loading the content in a Iframe and opening a windows etc. But apparently we see that whether we try to open it in IFRAME or new windows, the download link for ATEX and XAP opens in the same. It does not eve create a new tab/page.
Every time the user has to click the back button after install to reach the main site. This is very annoying for users.
Any help/suggestion would be of immense help
I would suggest you 3 checklists:-
Its recommended by the Wp8 enrollment Application file download should not be coming as "chunked" in HTTP protocol. Please ensure it comes in one piece.
Try serving the XAP file without any Content-Type header (which by default is set to octet stream usually on the server end).
Try pushing your Enterprise app during the enrollment phase itself to avoid these complications. Its the best way to install the company app as a last step in the WAP Provisioning.
Thanks for the suggestion. I believe that is a default behavior of IE on WP8. I used this plug in to schedule the download one after another

I have a windows phone app ready to be submitted in app store. I uploaded all the files necessary & added all the information required according to msdn guide. The problem is, "Save" button in "Upload & describe your xap" section is not working. It doesn't show me any error or anything, it simple doesn't works. What could be the problem? Am I missing something or it is a silverlight or any other problem? Please share your opinion.
Use only Internet Explorer 10 for the WP8 dashboard.
