Install version of the windows phone 8 application


I have created a windows Phone application, and how do I give this application to the client, Do I give him my project folder i.e Getcontacts? and also client wants to install this application to emulator because in the client machine only emulator is installed.

Is there any way to create the install file of the application that I give to the client and client will easily install into the emulator. Kindly suggest me on these queries..

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks.


Solution

  • If the client has the emulator installed, he can deploy a XAP to it using 'Application Deployment' (open the start menu and type Application Deployment). You can select the target (one of the emulators) and then choose the XAP file.

    On your end, set the build configuration to Release and build the solution. Then navigate to the project folder/Bin/Release and that's where you will find the .xap that you need to send to your client.

    Here's an MSDN article for the Application Deployment tool: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff402565(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_tool
