VS2015 RTM. Cannot deploy application on Windows Phone with build target Windows Phone 8. - visual-studio-cordova

This was working on VS2015 RC.
Select target 'Windows Phone 8'.
Select 'Device'.
Right Click on project -> select 'Deploy'
or
Click on 'Debug' in toolbar
Error:
2>------ Deploy started: Project: XXXX, Configuration: Debug Windows Phone 8 ------
2>No Windows Phone 8 emulators installed. Please install Visual Studio 2013 with the Windows Phone 8 tools selected to install the emulators.
Build has been canceled.
I didn't select emulator ???
Thanks

It turns out, this error was a bug in the product which is fixed in the Visual Studio 2015 Tools for Apache Cordova Update 3 release.

iPhone simulator in Visual Studio 2019: "Device { } not found."

I am running VS 2019 vs. 16.9.4. I have a Xamarin.Forms project and am trying to build & deploy to an iPhone simulator. I can connect to the mac and all seems ok on that end. When I try to start the app for the simulator I get a small window titled "iOS Simulator" which says "Connected", and then changes to "Waiting for device...", and then another small window pops up titled "Xamarin Simulator" which says "The device {GUID here} was not found."
I get this same series of messages regardless of which iPhone simulator I choose.
I have both XCode and Visual Studio 2019 for Mac running on the Mac.
What am I missing?
Today I updated Visual Studio to 16.9.5.
The Xamarin.iOS was updates to 14.16.0.5 in Mac hardware.
But the remote iOS Simulator still not working.
In Options > Xamarin > iOS Settings I unchecked the Remote Simulator to Windows.
Now I managed use the iOS Simulator in Mac hardware through VNC
It's not the dream solution, but works.
Iphone simulator working in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.10.4 on windows machine.
It's finally fixed! The remote iOS simulator finally works in VS 2019 16.11.5 and XCode 13.1.

xamarin uwp : Can't install company app

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.

Could not find SDK SQLite.WP80 Xamarin and Azure build error

I am building an Azure app with Xamarin.Forms in Visual Studio 2015. My app is happily using both "Azure Mobile Services SQLiteStore" and "Windows Azure Mobile Services" in the Android and iOS builds. However, I am trying to get the same to build and run on WinPhone with little luck. I have tried various things, but typically end up with the following error:
Could not find SDK "SQLite.WP80, version=3.8.7.2". C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets 1886
5 MyApp.WinPhone
Does anybody have a reliable set of instructions for getting Azure Mobile Services SQLiteStore operational on WinPhone 8.0 ?
In my case I had 2 problems
The reference to the SQLite for Windows Phone was missed in the WindowPhone App
As InitLipton said it's necessary to install SQLite for Windows Runtime depended on the windows phone version you are using (In my case was WP Runtime 8)
here are links of the runtime SDKs
WP Runtime 8
Windows Runtime 8.1

VS Community 2015 - No Windows Phone Emulator Installed

I get the following error when trying to build (Debug > Windows Phone > Device) the default Cordova TypeScript project :
No Windows Phone 8 emulators installed. Please install Visual Studio 2013 with Windows Phone 8 tools selected to install the emulators
Note: I was using the release candiate of Visual Studio 2015 and just installed the trial version of Visual Studio Community 2015.
Installing Visual Studio 2013 Windows Phone 8 tools can't be the correct solution.
I've downloaded and installed wpsdkv80_enu1.iso from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35471. It is Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and Emulator and it's working fine with Visual Studio 2015 Community
If you want to only test universal apps, you don't need to download WP SDK 8.0.
You can debug universal apps directly from VS by switching platform to Windows Phone(universal) and choose Windows 8.1 Emulator. But it expects Emulators for Windows Phone 8.1 to be installed.
If didn't installed Emulators for Windows Phone 8.1 you can do so in Program and Features -> Visual Studio 2015 -> Change.
Thanks for upgrading to the RTM VS 2015. Unfortunately, you do require VS2013 for Windows 8 emulators to be installed. They aren't available on VS 2015 or there is no stand-alone installer for the emulators. But you should be able to deploy your Windows 8 application on Windows 8.1 emulators, if that helps.
Correct me if I'm wrong:
The Windows Phone 8.1 emulators provided by VS2015 are only good
for testing Universal Windows apps (APPX) and nothing else.
Windows Phone 8.1
legacy apps (XAP) can only be emulated by installing the Windows Phone 8.1 Updated Emulators separately.
You won' find this piece of information anywhere on the MS reference sites.
