Hi
I want to know how to develop a phonegap app for Windows 8 tablet. I can already develop apps for Android. I have tried for Windows Phone 8 but I think I need a workplace account?

Do I also need a workplace account for Windows 8 apps? I think it's 15€/year, but is it possible to do it for free?
When I am at build.phonegap.com I can see IOS, ANDROID and WINDOWS PHONE 8 but not WINDOWS 8 ... why?

Thank you!

PhoneGap Build doesn't support Windows 8 yet. You might need to build that app locally.

Sorry.

Yes, you'll need Windows 8 / 8.1 +
Visual Studio Community 2013 (Free) / Visual Studio 2013 (Paid)

How can you activate Windows Phone in Adobe Phonegap Build ?
