Microsoft Band 2 with Universal Windows app


I'm new to to Universal Windows Platform and I'm having some trouble with it. I was following this tutorial (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt573717.aspx), but got stuck. I succeeded in installing and building this app but I can't seem to run it on my local machine. The only options Visual Studio gives is: Device and Emulator.

Run options

I was able to run the microsoft band sdk samples because then I could select to run on my local machine. It is probably something stupid but why can't I run this app on my local machine?


Solution

  • It's because you must change the architecture from ARM to x86 or x64, or Any CPU.

    enter image description here

    Or in worst case you can "Download new emulators", but since you could run it locally with the Band-app samples, I assume they are already installed and you just need to quickly switch the architecture :)
