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.

I have recently finished working on an App for Windows Phone 8.1 and 10 - I have successfully been able to deploy it on both type of phone by using Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1 tool.
I am now trying to load the app into the store and create a flight package so my develop phone should be able to see, download and install the app from the Microsoft Store on the device.
I am having 2 'problems' right now:
+ the App is not showing on the Store
+ using the app URL from the store, I am able to find the app but it is only available for downloading on the Windows 10 phone and it comes back unavailable on the Windows Phone 8.1
Here is some screenshots which should give an idea of my set ups:
Apart from the above, I would like to mention that I have added my Microsoft account to the devices so ideally I should be able to see the App!
Let me know guys if it makes sense and if you need further details to help me
Thanks
I am having windows phone 8 silverlight app. I need to publish it on Windows store. Can you please provide or explain step by step guide to publish this app in store.
Stackoverflow link discussed already. But after changing the values in files manually what need to do after tha?
I followed the steps mention here, but i am getting certification issue after submitting app.
This is a guide to publishing applications in Windows Store. Important -Silverligth app supported only Windows Phone and not supported Windows 8 and Windows 10. For supported Windows RT you need to make migration to universal app.
Windows App certification kit is very nice utility. Before publishing app use this app for analysis. When i run analysis of my XAP file using this utility, I found that i was using some default images that was main issue in certification failure. Now i am updating that. And will let you if this works or not.
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.

Is there a way to install signed applications over the air on the windows 8 and windows phone 8 platforms?
I'm looking for something similar to iOS wireless app distribution with its itms-services:// uri scheme. Basically, I want to direct users to a web page where they can download and install a signed application package on their device by clicking a link.
But it seems (from the information I gathered from the available documentation) that Microsoft allow app installation only by using the Windows Store, or by Sideloading (in the case of Windows RT, 8 Pro and 8 Entreprise) or by enrolling users phones for company app distribution (in the case of Windows Phone 8).
are these really the only methods available?
Thanks in advance.
For the Phone you could use the beta testing feature. It will not show in the store and only be available for users you have registered via their Microsoft account formerly Live ID. The app will run through certification and therefore will not be hosted on your own server.
For Windows 8.x you will still have to go the side loading route as there is currently no beta testing feature available.
HTH
I want to make windows phone 8 app.In which i want to integrate online builder tool to create online mobile app and download xap file on device.is there any API present for it ?
That is not supported on Windows Phone. You can only sideload apps under certain conditions (such as having a dev account or I think a max of 2 apps).
Either way, you have to install it using MS tools, there are no API's available
No there isn't. There are a few options for installing xap files.
Install it in a developer unlocked device using the SDK tools
Publish it as a beta, selected users can download it from the store
Publish it the normal way (duh)
Company deployment.
