How to install my windows 8 test app

Since it is a test app, it is an app not in the Windows Store. You need to manually install this app.

 

First, you must have a developer license for Windows 8 to install a non-Windows Store app.

(What should I do without developer permission? Please refer to Microsoft official link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/library/windows/apps/hh974578.aspx)

Note:

The developer license is valid for a period of time. When the developer license expires, the test app will not run and the app icon will contain the X number, as shown below:

 

After you try to run such an app, Windows will prompt: "You cannot open this app. Go to the Windows App Store to view more information about XXX ."

 

The solution is to renew the developer license.
