Can I test a Windows Phone app on my Windows RT device?
Developing a windows phone app with Xna using VS 2012 express.
At my progression point, I'd like to try my app, but I don't have a Windows Phone device. I have a Windows RT device but this one is not connected to my computer so I can't add it as testing device (instead of the emulator). My computer and tablet are on the same network. Anyone know how I can generate my app and install it on the tablet?

They are two completely different architectures, you can't run windows Phone 7/8 apps on a Win RT tablet. You will need to test a wp7/8 app on either the device emulator on your computer or on an actual windows phone 8 device.
If you need a load device, reach out to Nokia and they might be able to help, see DVLUP load program
Alternatively, you can just purchase a Lumia 520 for very cheap off contract for testing. it's a worthy investment to make if you are serious about developing for the platform.
