How do I set the target Device Family for my Universal App Project

I made an Universal App but I only want to publish it for Desktops and not for Phones yet. I also have a Windows Phone 8 App of the same name that I want to keep for all windows phone 8.1 and windows phone 8 Users. How can I accomplish this? The store just doesn't seem to have any options to allow this.
Any help?
Windows 10 Mobile is still in preview. Only Desktop has RTMed. When Mobile is available there should be a checkbox on the dashboard. See Device families at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/windows/apps/mt148548.aspx#dist_vis
You can also limit the DeviceFamily in your manifest. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn986903.aspx
The Windows 10 app won't run on Windows Phone 8.1 so those users will get the 8.1 version even once the Windows 10 Mobile app is p published

Is it possible to use computer camera from windows phone emulator 8.1?

I am very newbie to the windows phone development. I try to come up with a simple app taking photos. For testing I need to run emulator and take photos from the emulator by using computer camera. However, if I start to camera it shows very interesting shapes and does not use computer camera. Is there any way to exploit PC camera directly from emulator and take photos?
No way to do this, you just get the "interesting shapes" and that is it.
Unfortunately, it currently isn't possible to use a webcam or other built in PC camera to use with the camera on a Windows Phone emulator.

Turn off screen during call Windows Phone 8

My question is similar to Detect Proximity Sensor Events in Windows Phone 8 question.
I am developing a voip app in windows phone 8 which I want to turn off screen when user tries to hear through earpiece during call.
I checked in Voip Chatterbox sample app and it is working fine there, but I am unable to find the code section where they did it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Just add ID_CAP_SENSORS Capability in WMAppManifest.xml.It should work as expected then.

Centralize Windows Phone 8 Resources for developers

I saw that they have this community wiki list of Windows Phone 7 resources at Getting Started with Windows Phone 7.
However, I searched but there isn't one for Windows Phone 8, or did I missed it?
Would it be possible to create a page like this for Windows Phone 8?
Windows Phone 8 development is almost exactly the same as Windows Phone 7 development, especially if you're just starting out.
WP8 has a few differences, and some extra features (e.g. NFC), but overall the links on that page are a great start. The fundamentals are identical, and any examples made for WP7 should work on WP8.
