I seem to be going 1 step forward and 2 steps back with getting my app to work with a Windows 8 phone.
Firstly, this is what I can achieve:
Take an appery made application (ensure I use the device ready event before doing anything), export it using the VS Project export option
Open the project and run it using the Simulator on a Windows 8 PC running VS Express 2012.
this is great, and I thought I was there, so I bought a Win8 phone as a test device and proceeded to register with Microsoft and make the phone unlocked for development, again, all good so far.
The problem comes when I try to compile for the phone, I noticed in the manifest that the project appears to be for windows phone 7, the VS software prompted to convert for me so I let it.
After a couple of issues with "app requirements" (i.e. declaring what permissions the app will need to use) I managed to over come that (google can be useful) and successfully compile and deploy to the device.Unfortunately it wont run, I am getting the following errors as it attempts to run:
An exception of type 'System.Resources.MissingSatelliteAssemblyException' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
An exception of type 'System.Resources.MissingSatelliteAssemblyException' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in Microsoft.Phone.ni.dll and wasn't handled before a managed/native boundary
Can you tell me if I am expecting too much for the app to run on a Win8 Phone, or am I missing something?
If I can get this working, I more than happy to provide a tutorial for users of Appery.regards
Andy.
