How to deploy a UWP to a Galaxy TabPro S with windows 10 OS?


I'm trying to deploy a UWP app from my Alienware 18, Laptop with Windows 10, version 1803 to a Tablet Galaxy TabPro S with Windows 10 version 1803 as well.

I had activated developer mode on the device target and the USB device discovery option as well. First I tried connecting a USB Cable from my laptop to the tablet which has a USB-C port.

But My laptop doesn't even find it.

What I want is to find a way to deploy a UWP from my laptop to the tablet, I made some research and I found out that, only HoloLens and Windows Phone 10, are findable using USB Connection.

So what step should I follow to successfully remote debug my app to a windows 10 Tablet.

I would appreciate details because I tried to follow remote deploying but I haven't been able to successfully find the tablet.


Solution

  • The Windows 10 on your tablet, just like on your development machine, supports remotely debugging over the network rather than over USB. Make sure both machines are in developer mode, with the other machine also having Device Discovery turned on as described here. Both should connect to your WiFi as a private network. After that it should be as simple as configuring your project to deploy to the other machine, rather than locally, as described here and here. Don't forget to pair them with a PIN.

    If you host a web API on your development machine, configure your firewall as described here.
