I want to make a build (like APK) of my windows phone 8 app for testing. How can i do so.?
回答1:
When you Run the Windows Phone 8 app in VS 2012, an XAP file is created in the Bin folder of your app. Its similar to the apk file of Android app. But you cannot directly install this in the phone.
You need a developer account to developer unlock the device for testing. You can test the app in Emulator any way. You can also make use of the Beta testing feature of the Windows Phone marketplace, but again you need a developer account for this as well.
UPDATE:
You can get a developer account from the Windows Phone Developer site @ $99.
And after getting the developer account, Open the "Windows Phone Developer Registration" tool from your start menu and unlock your device, by following the steps mentioned in that tool

You actually can deploy a XAP file to the phone, provided it is developer unlocked. The tool to do this comes as part of the SDK. Just go to Windows Phone Developer Tools -> Application Deployment. Then you can browse and select the XAP file you want to install. As mentioned above, you XAP file might be in the bin folder, but it could also be in the Debug folder, depending on your configuration. In Visual Studio, to the left of the debug icon (green arrow) you will see a drop down list of deployment options. Here you can choose if you want to deploy to the phone or to the emulator. You can also chose if you want to deploy in debug or production mode.
