I installed the last version of visual studio to target windows phone 8.1 OS. After the installation I figured out that the 8.1 OS was not yet released and I couldn't deploy my application on my device. Can I target the windows phone 8.0 version when building the application?
Yes you can. Go to your project properties and there on your application tab, you can select the target OS.
Select This Project Template & It will prompt you to select your targeting Windows Phone OS
But Once you have targeted 8.1 you can't deploy on a 8.0 device or emulator.

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.

Turn on virtualization on your bios settings, so you can enable Hyper-V.

You need Visual Studio 2013 update 2 or later. You can download the latest free version here:
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows with Update 3
To run it you need at least Windows 8.1.
If you want to use the emulators, you need Windows 8.1 Pro x64, but if you have a physical Windows phone 8.1 device, you can use it to test your apps, instead of the emulators
First of all for windows phone 8/8.1 you would be needed to have windows 8.1 (x64)Operating System, Then you should check for whether your System is Supporting Hyper-v and SLAT or not.
To check for Hyper-V and SLAT, You can have Refrence from here Does my processor support Hyper-V : Coreinfo
If you have Hyper-V and SLAT, you are ready with Devlopment for windows phone 8/8.1.
for Development of windows phone 8/8.1 You would be needed to install Visual Studio 2013 with update 2 or later. here is a download link for Express 2013 for Windows that can be used for windows, windows phone as well as for Universal Apps.
for windows phone 8.1 emulators, you can download them from here windows phone 8.1 emulators
Is it possible to work application, which developed for 8.1 OS, in Phone which have 8.0 OS?
As far as I know you can't. You could only deploy 8.1 apps on a device which is updated to 8.1. It's just a matter of updating the 8 OS. But after the 8.1 update you could still deploy WP8 apps too.

What i should do please ,
What is your version of Windows 8.1? You need AT LEAST Windows 8.1 Pro or better to be able to run Windows Phone Emulators. If your version is a standard one, you cannot use the Windows Phone 8 emulators, as your windows doesn't have HyperV
