Sqlite on both Windows Phone 7.1 and Windows Phone 8 - sqlite

I'm developing an app for Windows Phone 7.1(7.5) - 8 (Must work for both) , in which database connectivity is required.
This Application is already realized for Iphone and Android, so I have to use there Database file to the database structure was the same for all applications. Sqlite is used as the database .
All Sqlite Clients for Windows Phone are out of date and not supported any more.

Official client is only for windows phone 8
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html
and is not working with windows phone 7.1
Will be really helpfull if someone can give me any suggestions what i can do with this situation.
develop only for Windows Phone 8 and use official Sqlite Client
use old libriaries for sqlite and try to work with them on windows phone 8
use SQL CE as the database
(PS. : The situation is further complicated by the fact that Windows RT is not support SQL CE and only Sqlite and it makes me crazy.)

I have used sqlite in my app for windows phone 7 as described in the dotnetslackers link and its working fine in WP 8 ( I tested in WP8 emulator).
I don't see any point for saying "All Sqlite Clients for Windows Phone are out of date and not supported any more". Did you try yourself ?
Also this link says "SQLite is now supported on Windows RT, Windows 8 Metro Apps and will be supported on Windows Phone 8 for local application storage."
And here is one more link, which I didn't test.
I suggest you to try the dotnetslackers link and post here if you face any problem. Good luck !!

Note that SQL Server Compact 4.0 does not have a release for Windows Mobile, Windows Phone or for Windows CE devices. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg592946.aspx
You can use SQL Server Compact 3.5 on WP 7.5, but I'm not sure if this version works on WP8.

Creating wifi network using multiple windows phone devices?

I have this problem. I would like to create a multiplayer game aplication for Windows Phone platform. I wanted to offer some really good action for let's say 4 people. One phone would be hosting the game and other 3 would connect to the host. To do this, I was thinking I'm gonna need to connect the phones with Windows Phone 8 OS (or even Windows Phone 7?) to one network using their wifi connectivity.
So my question is - is it possible to create a wifi network between 4 devices with Windows Phone 8 OS (or WP7?)?
On Windows Phone 7 (it is supported on Windows Phone 8 but you would have to build your project under Windows Phone 7 (for XNA support)), the following types of networking are supported for XNA Game Studio titles:
Xbox LIVE access through Gamer Services. This is available only to developers who have registered with Microsoft for Xbox LIVE on Windows Phone access. For more information about becoming a registered Xbox LIVE on Windows Phone developer, go to developer.windowsphone.com.
Web requests using the Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP). This is available to all applications on Windows Phone.
Push notifications. Push notifications are also implemented through HTTP (client and server) and are available to all applications on Windows Phone.
Also, Microsoft has a few examples of game networking on their Windows Phone Dev Center Samples site. Like this Tic-Tac-Toe Over Sockets Example which contains client and server source code or this Rock Paper Scissors Example.
Lastly, keep in mind that if you start a new game project targeted specifically for Windows 8 use the following tips when considering XNA related items:
XNA Game Studio 4.0 apps that target Windows Phone OS 7.1 remain fully supported and continue to run on Windows Phone 8 devices.
You can continue to develop and maintain new or existing XNA Framework apps that target Windows Phone OS 7.1.
You can’t upgrade existing XNA Framework apps that target Windows Phone OS 7.1 to target Windows Phone OS 8.0.
You can’t create new XNA Framework apps that target Windows Phone OS 8.0.
When you select an XNA Game Studio 4.0 project template, you can only choose Windows Phone OS 7.1 as the target operating system.
You can use certain XNA Framework assemblies in apps that target Windows Phone OS 8.0.
You can reference and use the following XNA Framework assemblies in apps that target Windows Phone OS 8.0. You can’t reference or use other XNA Framework assemblies that aren’t in this list in apps that target Windows Phone OS 8.0.
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.dll
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices.dll
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServicesExtensions.dll
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input.Touch.dll
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media.dll
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.MediaLibraryExtensions.dll
