WP7.1 application released to Marketplace

Windows Phone marketplace can submit August 22 sdk-developed applications since January 1, 7.1. Although the submission page and method are the same as 7.0, there are still some problems. Pay attention to some issues before submission.

1. Convert 7.0 applications to 7.1 applications

Some of my previous applications were developed under 7.0. However, to use some new features of 7.1, You need to convert the application to 7.1 and continue development.

Conversion Method:

1) Open the project properties page and change the target version to 7.1.

2) Right-click the project and select the "Upgrade to Windows Phone 7.1" menu

In addition, it should be noted that after the conversion to 7.1, it is generally impossible to change back to 7.0.

 

Generally, if an application is directly developed under 7.1, there should be no problem. However, if many applications are developed or completed, it should be converted to 7.1 for release, the [NeutralResourceLanaguge] error occurs when it is published to the Marketplace.

This is because the IDE tool does not modify AssemblyInfo during conversion, so it must be manually completed.

Click the Assembly Information button and select a language in Neutral Lanaguage.

Note: Chinese characters are also available here, but not currently available. Otherwise, a network error will be reported during the upload.

2. Test

In the 7.1 sdk, Visual studio 2010 contains a test tool used to test the application uploading Marketplace.

First, you must be able to perform the test in Release mode. Right-click the project and the "Open Marketplace Test Kit" menu item appears. Open the tool to view the test items:

Through this tool, you can perform some basic tests on the application, including the Capability test. In this way, you do not need to test the application by using commands like 7.0.

3.

For 7.0, it is a very troublesome task. You must use a tool to intercept the data and use an image tool to modify the data before uploading the data. Now we don't need to use it. The simulator of 7.1 has integrated functions, so that it can be conveniently carried out, and the captured images can be directly used for uploading.

 

After all the above steps are completed, the upload application becomes easier and the success rate is also improved. It will no longer be returned due to Capability or other issues.
