Windows Phone 8.0 app packaging in Visual Studio 2015 Preview

I have got Visual Studio 2015 Ultimate Preview installation through my students Dreamspark account. I installed it on top of updated Windows 8.1. workstation.

I have Windows Phone 8.0 application that I need to publish to Windows Phone Store. I am following MS guide on their site, but I am stuck with step in which my options for packaging solution are disabled in VS 2015 Preview (can't start the wizard).

Here is the screenshot of Visual Studio:

Wizard for packaging disabled

On this site: http://goo.gl/pjbLPh I have found guide for installing Tools for Maintaining Store apps for Windows 8 but it is targeting VS 2012 and VS 2013. In my installer for VS 2015 I didn't even see this tool in optional features for install. Maybe the name is changed?

Does anyone have early experiences with VS 2015 Preview and packaging WP 8 apps for Windows Phone Store?

Make sure that the distribution option is selected.

You have to select a Windows Store app project in the solution explorer before.

(You screenshot shows that you currently selected the solution and not a project.)
