When I try to deploy .xap file to my phone. The error "You cannot install the application. You have reached the maximum number of applications being developed for the device can be installed on this development. Please uninstall a previous developer application. (I believe the current limit it 10 side-loaded apps at a time)" happened. Please help me solve the problem, thanks
I'm not sure if I understand the question, as the message states. Uninstall one or more of the dev-apps you've previously installed on the device, then you'll be able to install new ones up to the maximum of 10.
You can also raise a support ticket over at dev.windowsphone.com requesting an increase in the allowable app limit.

I'm developing an application windows phone 8.1.Previously, it worked fine on Windows Phone 10 and Windows Phone 8.1, but after one of the Windows 10 updates, the app is no longer installed from the Windows Store. The installation is crushed with 0x80073CF9 error. All I found about this error in the Google is advices for Win Phone users, not for developers. Logs obtained from the device indicates a crash during installation, it also did not help me.
I checked if there is in my project proscribed names, or library, rid of all warnings. Cleaned project. But nothing helps. According to the disgruntled responses of users I can see that they can not install it too. There is no errors while create package and publishing it to Store: this is the most confusing as it is not clear what went wrong and what hinders to install the application on the device.
I am developing in Visual Studio 2015.
Did someone face similar problems?
UPDATE
I tried all the tips have been found in Google including correction time and language settings, soft reset, hard reset and many others. Result still the same.
Trying to install a WP8.1 App in a new Windows Phone Mobile 10 we are getting this error (We are using the "Windows Phone Application Deployment (8.1)" App):
Error - The provided package is already installed, and reinstallation
of the package was blocked. Check the AppXDeployment-Server event log
for details.
First, the app is not installed. We have verified twice.
Second, what is the AppXDeployment-Server and where I can find the log?
Thanks
The solution was as simple as update the Windows Phone OS to the latest version.
After that we can install WP8.1 Apps in Windows Phone Mobile.
First, the app is not installed. We have verified twice.
This error usually occurs when installing a package which is not bitwise identical to the package that is already installed. Therefore, if a package is rebuilt or resigned, it’s no longer bitwise identical to the previously installed package.
To fix it, you can increase your app’s version number, then rebuild and resign the package or remove the old package for every user on the system before installing the new one.
Besides, you mean the app is not installed before? That way you should use Windows Phone Application Deployment to install the package in default (C:) but not on the device SD card. If you want to install it on SD card, you should use Visual Studio to deploy your app.
Second, what is the AppXDeployment-Server and where I can find the log?
The AppXDeployment-Server provide more info to help you diagnose the cause of the error code.
You can follow steps below to access the event log:
• Run eventvwr.msc.
• Go to Event Viewer (Local) > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows.
• The first log to check is AppxPackagingOM > Microsoft-Windows-AppxPackaging/Operational.
• Deployment-related errors are recorded in AppXDeployment-Server > Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/Operational.
Also, another option is to use PowerShell, try following command:
Get-Appxlog|Out-GridView

I am trying to submit a Windows Phone 8.0 xap file to the store. It uploads, after the upload it says "Analyzing package", then "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact support."
I contacted Microsoft, they told me to clear the cache, history, etc. and try again. I emptied my browsers and restarted, but it didn't work. And I guess the problem is not really about the browsers, because they are able to upload the xap files but they don't get accepted by Microsoft's system.
I also tried an old xap file which was accepted by Microsoft before. I stil get the same error, so that's probably not about my packages.
I solved this problem after create fresh app using command line. And allocate that app name on app store. i guess there would be problem of Microsoft Server.
I am trying to run a Silverlight 8.1 WP application through the Windows App Certification Kit and I get an error stating that the file is not a valid .xap file. I'm not sure why it is happening and not finding much about it other than one article that hints at a manifest issue. I am however able to take a dummy Silverlight 8.1 app and Certify that without error (it fails of course, but no error). The actual error is:
Failed to unpack 'xap file'. The file does not appear to be a valid xap package.
Does anyone out there know why this can happen or at least where in the manifest I might start looking?
The answer to this turned out to be an issue with the Microsoft SDK I was using. The way I figured this out is by attempting to upload the .xap file to the store even though I got that very vague error because I was still able to side load the application, so I knew to some degree the .xap file was valid. I got the following error.
The last two errors (2001) gave me more to go on, so I did some research and came across this SO post which pointed to an issue with the Advertising SDK. It turns out that the SDK I was using was adding 2 entries for some reason instead of telling me it was the wrong SDK. I used the one that came with VS 2013 Update 1, but for Silverlight, you need to use the one located here under Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight Apps
After installing this package (make sure it is 8.1 and not 8.0), I referenced that SDK and all was well again.
Hope this helps someone else with this issue
For anybody else with similar problem, executing WACK on its own (not through VS command) runs smoothly.
I am developing Windows phone 8 app. When I try to run the emulator of WXGA or 720p I am constantly getting this error. Searching regarding this error leads to the conculsion that I should not run more and more app parallely. So I ran only VS2012 then also getting the error. I am having enough 4GB of RAM then also having problem. My friend's PC has 2 GB of RAM then also it works flawlessly in it. Anyone know what's the issue & best practice to run the emulator smoothly?
PS : I don't have REAL Windows Phone device :(
Just try rebooting your Windows 8 Phone. I just had the same issue, and rebooting worked for me while deploying on device.
Please ensure you have following to get rid of the error,
Minimum Hardware/software requirements (https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/oem?contentName=docs%2FGetting_Started%2FPreparing_for_Windows_Phone_development)
Valid developer license/account to develop windows phone applications
Enough free RAM (>2GB RAM should be free)
Not more than one instance of VS is trying to use same emulator.
If everything is holds good then try following,
Restart emulator & check if it fixed the issue, if not go to next step.
Go to Hyper-V manager and delete all the virtual switches related to WP. If it doesn't fix issue go to next step.
Go to Hyper-V manager and delete all the windows phone virtual machines. repair WP SDK from control panel.

In worst case, you will have to uninstall & install WP SDK.
Hope it helps.
The emulator may not work when its dedicated requirements are not perfectly matched. Emulator Requirements
You can always try deploying an app by selecting 'Device' in the emulator which will actually deploy the app on your phone and you can test it out.
note: Make sure you're using the right version of app which is to be deployed in its righteous OS version.
Also try to restart your emulator/device
Well. This might be happens because of some inner problems of Emulator. Because even me too faced this same problem some days ago. So, let me tel you what I have did and how I got rid of that problem. So, try as per my instruction and if this works. Just Mark it as an answer. else, comment what you have got after.
Check all Emulator VGA and VXGA and 720p
After you got that error, just tap Ok or Cancel in the dialog box and go to
Open Emulator -> Strat Screen will be shown -> goto All Apps -> Check your app name (It will exist and open your app and take screenshots)
I am sure this will be works for you.
Only restart the device or the emulator and the deployment will success
