Deploy windows phone 7.1 app on windows phone 8 device

Question

I want to test an app which is build on 7.1 sdk and want to test it on my nokia lumia 820 which is windows phone 8 device. so how to do this. Zune also not detecting my device.

[7.1 apps work on Windows Phone 8](http://stackoverflow.com/q/13724852/11683), so just fix the issue with your phone not being detected by your PC (which is sort of offtopic here). — GSerg, Nov 27 '13 at 10:29

There is specific requirement to deploy the .xap file to WP8 device, you must have Windows 8 PC then you have to install WP8 SDK that's Application Deployment tool allows you to deploy the .XAP file on WP8 device.

Hope it helps.

Zune is not required for deployment on Windows Phone 8 devices (even for WP7 apps running on WP8).

Visual Studio should detect your device and deploy to it automatically.

EDIT: Visual Studio 2012 and the Windows Phone 8 SDK are required for deploying to WP8 devices.

Deploying to a WP8 device requires Visual Studio 2012 and the WP8 SDK. – Olivier Payen Nov 27 '13 at 13:49

You can easily deploy it using Application Deployment tool, no need to use Zune, it is for Mango
