If you encounter the below error message while developing app for Windows Phone.

Error Message:

“Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc) is not running. Retry after starting Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc) from the services management console.”

The cause of the error is that the service “Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc)” is not running. It is very simple to resolve in error.

Simple header over to services.msc. Look for “Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc)”, the status should be empty or automatic. Right click on it and select Start.

After doing that, try to deploy your app again and it should work fines.
