Firstly you must ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • Your Windows Phone device is developer unlocked using the Microsoft Developer Registration Tool or Chevron WP7 Labs unlocker tool.
  • You have the Zune client software installed
  • You have the Windows Phone development toolkit installed

If you have all that sorted, you can then use the Application Deployment Tool to publish your .xap file by:

  1. Connecting your phone to the computer
  2. Open the Application Deployment Tool
  3. Select "Windows Phone Device" from the drop down
  4. Select your .xap file
  5. Click Deploy

There's more information on MSDN How to: Use the Application Deployment Tool for Windows Phone

There are 2 ways to do this

  1. Using Visual Studio as described here.
  2. Use the Application Deployment Tool as described here.

Note that deploying to a device requires the device to be developer unlocked and registered. For this, you must first get an App Hub account.
