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.

I want to use Xamarin profiler in Visual Studio 2019 Mac. I found its only available in enterprise edition. I want to try trial version of enterprise edition.
How to install trail version of enterprise edition in Mac? I went to this link but couldn't find one for mac. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
About Profiler Support of Xamarin Profiler :
You will need to be a Visual Studio Enterprise subscriber to unlock this feature in either Visual Studio Enterprise on Windows or Visual Studio for Mac on a Mac.
Here not need to download a enterprise deition in Mac , VS for Mac has only a version to be downloaded . You not need to download another version of VS for Mac .
Just Download the Profiler install package for your platform:
macOS
Windows
That means you need to use a Visual Studio Enterprise subscriber for vs for mac,and if you have purchased a Visual Studio Professional or Enterprise Subscription (Standard or Cloud), the license applies to Visual Studio for Mac as well. Standalone Licenses for Visual Studio Professional 2019 do not apply to Visual Studio for Mac.
Having a look at this : https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/support/mac/can-use-existing-visual-studio-license-mac/
I have installed Visual studio 2017 15.5 but i cannot install uno platform extension. it always saying that some prerequisites cannot be resolved.
In the VisualStudio Installer, you need those workloads:
UWP development
Mobile Development with .NET
.NET Core cross-platform development (maybe this one is missing!)
I cannot find a Visual Studio 2017 project for making Xamarin.Forms Windows 8.1 apps. How do I install it?
Windows 8.1 Silverlight and RT are all deprecated. I would suggest doing a UWP app and targeting Windows 10 instead.
However, if you do want to do a Windows 8.1 project. Make sure you download the Windows 8.1 SDK, then create a new Xamarin.Forms project. Then you will have to add a new Windows 8.1 project afterwards, and manually add the Xamarin.Forms Init code, in the project.
You can have a look at XArch for an example.
But once again, I strongly recommend against, creating a Windows 8.1 project, and you should do UWP instead.
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
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.
