Windows phone 8 unit test compatibility

Question

I downloaded Visual studio RC 2 and started a windows phone 8.0 project. Then I created a phone unit test project. Unfortunately I can't reference my original project in the test project because the test project is targeted to windows phone 8.1.

How can I change the target device such that I can unit test my project?

Answer 1

To do this Correctly you need to do the following steps:

• You must have at least Visual Studio 2012 Update 2
• Open up your project in Visual Studio 2012 and add a new project
• Select windows phone test application
• Continue coding in Visual Studio 2013

I was able to deploy the unit tests to my phone using this method.
