When you build your project you should get a .xap file somewhere in your projects directory. I have not worked with Windows Phone myself, so i do not know exactly where. But if it is like desktop C#, the default is bin/release, or bin/debug if it's a debug build.

.apk file is an Android file which contain whole application. For Windows Phone 7 equivalent is .xap file. This is just a zip file with the app and resources. Just remember to upload the release one from Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\AppName\Bin\Release\.

The .xap file is the full application. Just like Android's .apk. – EClaesson Sep 15 '12 at 17:33
@J.S.D.M it's already done for you. Change the extension to .zip and you will see what's inside. – Lukasz Madon Sep 15 '12 at 17:34
