Then i run my visua lstudi c# pro 2012 and then a new project and select new project > windows phone app Then after it create the project im getting a window say: This program has compatibility issues .

This is the main page code:

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage

    <!--LayoutRoot is the root grid where all page content is placed-->
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <!-- LOCALIZATION NOTE:
            To localize the displayed strings copy their values to appropriately named
            keys in the app's neutral language resource file (AppResources.resx) then
            replace the hard-coded text value between the attributes' quotation marks
            with the binding clause whose path points to that string name.

            For example:

                Text="{Binding Path=LocalizedResources.ApplicationTitle, Source={StaticResource LocalizedStrings}}"

            This binding points to the template's string resource named "ApplicationTitle".

            Adding supported languages in the Project Properties tab will create a
            new resx file per language that can carry the translated values of your
            UI strings. The binding in these examples will cause the value of the
            attributes to be drawn from the .resx file that matches the
            CurrentUICulture of the app at run time.

            <TextBlock Text="page name" Margin="9,-7,0,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle1Style}"/>
        </StackPanel>

        </Grid>

            if the System Tray is hidden.

            Before shipping remove this XAML and the image itself.-->

Thats it. What can i do to fix it ?

Answer 1

The update 3 for visual studio 2012 doesn't work on windows 8.1. Try to install Visual Studio Update 3 emulators

I tried several methods but the Hyper-V feature is unavailable in windows 8.1. That's why apps can't be deployed.
