Question

I am making a simple Windows Phone 8 game on C#, Visual Studio 2013. I want to try my application on WinRT tablet(not visual studio) as Android devices do. But my PC couldn't connect to tablet, I've already tried Visual Studio 2013 Remote Tools, it didnt works for me. Any help? sorry for my English.(I have Asus Vivo Tab)

Was it helpful?

Solution

Unlike Apple and Google, where the OS on the phone is the same on the tablet, that is not what Microsoft came up with.
The OS on the Microsoft's phone is Windows Phone (current version 8) while ARM tablets have an ARM version of Windows 8 (current 8.1). According to Microsoft they do share the same kernel so it would be a matter of time to have the same app running on both kinds of devices.

So, as of today, if you want your app to run on Windows Phone and on Windows tablets, you have to have two different binaries uploaded to the markets.

OTHER TIPS

You cannot run Windows Phone apps on Windows ARM tablets.

Windows ARM tablets don't support Windows phone apps.
