Problems with Windows Phone XAP file

It won't run on Windows 8 deployment tool (XapDeploy.exe)!

I used the normal target - Emulator WVGA 512MB - and the PhoneGap Hello World application - app.xap - file.

When i click in the - Deploy - button the emulator starts ok, but the Virtual Machine keeps restart over and over again. It's feel like the file is crashing the virtual machine.

Anyone there that successful deployed the .xap file on the Windows Phone 8 emulator?

Thank you very much!

Hi Henry

Did you compile the app locally or via Build? For your information, .xap produced by Build is not yet compatible with Windows 8 Phone

Thanks

Hi Amir.

Thank you for your answer!

I did compile it via phonegap BUILD. I simple took the phonegap - Hello World - example app and compiled it.

Ok, so just 2 questions:

a. When the phonegap build will produce the .xap file to Windows Phone 8?

b. How can i compile my existent .xap file to the Windows Phone 7 emulator in Windows 8 os?(please, give me some step by step way)

Have i nice day!

It's currently in our backlog but not a priority at the moment. Hence we can't provide any release schedule.

b. How can i compile my existent .xap file to the Windows Phone 7 emulator in Windows 8 os?(please, give me some step by step way)
You can compile www project locally via the following step-by-step documentation:

I will ask again the question, when the phonegap build will produce the .xap file to Windows Phone 8. I'm working with phonegap 2.7.0 and with a windows phone 8 project. When I compile my project, I got a xap file call CordovaAppProj_Debug_AnyCPU.xap.

I'm not sure it's the good one and when I try to deploy it, the screen loading appear and stay like that.

Is there any solution??

Thanks
