Can Windows 8 apps be developed with Visual Studio Online?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22701681

Question

PhoneGap Build affords the opportunity to build for various platforms "in the cloud"

Is something similar available with Visual Studio Online - can one develop Windows 8 apps, even when their local/client machine is Windows 7?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Visual Studio Online is basically a source control repository, so no. https://stackoverflow.com/tags/visual-studio-online/info.

The key point would be build. You can build your app on Visual Studio Online (in the same way that TFS can do nightly builds), but you still need the Windows 8 SDK to develop the app, which means you need Windows 8.
