Solution

  • In the Windows Phone templates in Visual Studio, you'll find two types of templates: Windows Phone and Windows Phone Silverlight (see the image below).

    enter image description here

    The Windows Phone templates refer to the XAML OS platform, which is only available for Windows Phone 8.1.
    The Windows Phone Silverlight templates refer to the Silverlight OS platform, which is available for both 8.0 and 8.1. So if you want to create Windows Phone 8.0 app, you'll need to use one of these templates.
