hi I have been created an app at Xamarin form and I want to publish them to the apps store
on the google play store that was very easy
the problem of how to publish the app on apple store if I have just windows
I know that I have to use Xcode and just on mac
I think there is some way to do that from windows
Well in fact you could do it without a Mac, installing a Virtual machine as shown in this video, after that, you should be able to download the last version of Xcode through the App store within the Virtual machine. Then, within Visual Studio in your Windows, connect with your just created Catalina VM.
After that, you colud use Testflight instead of publishing the app directly on the App store in order to build beta tests.
Regards.

With Xamarin.Forms I'm developing a mobile app. In Android I get this succesfully running on a device. I succeeded to create an app package from the UWP project and install it on my own Windows 10 PC. This is also my developing machine, so it's in Developer Mode by default. So it runs here without any problems.
My purpose is to get it running on Windows 8.1 Pro (tablet size). It just needs to consume the app. When installing the app by using the script, it's throwing the error that no developers license is found. On this device I didn't found anything to put it in Developers Mode, but it seems me that this is not needed, because it only consuming the app and no developing will take place on it.
It's is an internal app, so no need to place it on the Windows Store.
So my exact question: how can I install this app on this device without setting everything up for a Developer?
The answer would be no. Windows 10 has more new API and concepts that are not available on Windows 8.1. UWP app will not backward compatible to Windows 8.1. But WRT app will be Upward compatible to windows 10. It means that the windows 8 store app could run in windows 10. for more please refer Move from Windows Runtime 8.x to UWP.
I am preparing my app for upload to the MS Store and am running into problems with the Windows App Certification Kit. Nearly every test performed by the kit produces the exact same FAILED test result as follows:
"The selection criteria did not match any tests.
No test cases were executed."
My app is a Windows Forms app that was packaged using the "Windows Application Packaging Project" in Visual Studio 2017 (i.e. using the latest iteration of the MS "Desktop Bridge").
I should also add that I was able to successfully install the app bundle (.appxbundle) by loading the temporary cert and double clicking on the appxbundle so I know the UWP install works perfectly.
Any ideas on how to fix issue?
Thanks!
I found the solution to my problem! It appeared to me based upon the test result text that the Windows App Certification Kit was simply failing to run any tests at all...so I decided to uninstall then reinstall the Windows Software Development Kit (which includes the Windows App Cert Kit among other things). After reinstall the Windows App Cert Kit ran correctly!...AND MY APP PASSED EVERY SINGLE TEST!!! YES!!!
Anyhow, if you experience the same problem as me, you now have the solution to your issue...uninstall then reinstall the Windows Software Development Kit.
Dears,
I create my UWP app packages by right click the uwp project -> store -> create app packages option. Go through the steps and
Then I copy the arm_appxbundle file from AppPackages folder to my windows phone(8.1). After tapping on that file showing a message like following:
Can't install company app. There's a problem with this company app. Contact your company's support person for help.
In my phone's settings, there is no update and security option for enabling the developer mode.
This app is working fine on my lap, which is windows 10
Is it possible to install uwp app on windows 8.1?
Thanks in advance...
UWP can only run on Windows 10 (and newer).
If you want to target 8.1, you have to build a 8.1.
8.1 should run on Windows 10 without any problems.
Considering that an app using a sqlite db, needs to be build for x86 platforms in order to run on the emulator and under ARM in order to get deployed on a device.
The question is, how does one publish a WP8 app with a sqlite database? Under which active solution platform in the configuration manager menu should the project be build in order to pass the store verification?
When publishing to the store you publish the ARM version, because that is the only version that can work on an actual device.
Just set the Build Configuration to target ARM and set it to Release. Then look in the Bin/ARM/Release folder for the .xap package.
I am using SQLite.WP80 version=3.7.16 in Windows phone 8 project.
Now when I tried to test with store test kit it says:
"the application package(XAP) is not up to date,recompile and try again.
change the solution configuration to release and platform to any cpu and rebuild the app"
But as I am using sqllite i cannot change to any cpu.
Can anyone tell possible solution?
You should target just one CPU during development (depending on what machine you will be testing/debugging on). When it's time to publish your app, you can select multiple packages, one for each CPU architecture. Visual Studio will then create several packages, which you can upload to the dev portal.
