Legacy Windows Store and Windows Phone builds

[John_H_Intel2]

The legacy Windows 8 build has been retired. A deprecation notice for the legacy build options was posted in March of 2015. Eventually all of the legacy build options will be retired.

Please use the Cordova Windows 8 build option.

Legacy Windows 8 Phone builds are currently working, but will also eventually be retired. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/563699 for details regarding an Early Access edition of the Cordova Windows 8 Phone build system.

Legacy Windows Store and Windows Phone builds are currently down for maintenance.

We will post back here when they are back up and running.

Thanks for the update.

Do you know if Microsoft will have receive .xap for Windows Mobile 10?

[John_H_Intel2]

I do not know. You will need to check with Microsoft.

I'm sorry for my English, using Bing translator ...
Build usually mine .xap in this release and the xap nothing stopped. Not changed anything in the code. And when I build my .xap, went on to give this error in Intel XDK 1995:

"The build failed. An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build assets are correct and try again."

My problem is related to the problem described here?

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

I'll check with the responsible engineer.

[Leon_B_]

The build failed.

An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build assets are correct and try again.

Note the original post on this thread:

The build system currently does not support legacy builds for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. The only Windows platform you can build for is Windows8 Cordova. Is that the build option you tried?

[Atila_Q_]

I tried Windows 8 cordova, the program XDK build .appx who couldn't take up at the store or install the WindowsPhone. Only .xap.

[Chris_C_8]

Is it still down?

For Windows Phone 8 Store Build I am seeing this:

An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build assets are correct and try again.

Thanks, Chris

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

@Atila -- that behavior is correct. The APPX that is built using Windows 8 Cordova can only be submitted to the Windows store. The stores will be unified with Windows 10, which Microsoft sometimes refers to as "Windows Universal." We will support that version of Windows, probably later this year, but I do not have a definite date for support.

@Chris -- The Windows Phone 8 build system does not work. It has been disabled and will eventually be restored. Unfortunately, I do not have a date for when it will be restored. There are a variety of issues that are being addressed that require time.

[Atila_Q_]

so I can't generate more .xap? Thank you @Paul

[Chris_C_8]

Thx Paul. It would be nice to have it working. How would I hear if it is fixed? Just by checking back here? Chris

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Yes, we'll update this thread when they are working again, and you should see a twitter post in the XDK twitter feed.

[Michael_O_2]

Hello Intel,

Please when will you fix this issue?

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Sorry, but company policy does not allow us to publish release dates or product roadmaps.

[Michael_O_2]

Your tweet(@Intel_XDK) stated that legacy builds for Windows Phone are now working, but the "Verify your build" error still persist.

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

That was an issue with the legacy builds that are working, sorry about that confusion. The Windows legacy builds are still down. I've sent another tweet to clarify. Will post and tweet again when they are working.

[Michael_O_2]

I can see that the  tweet has been updated. Windows legacy build is still down.

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

The legacy Windows 8 build has been disabled. Please use the Cordova Windows 8 build option.
