I have a windows 7 PC and i want to develop windows phone 7 apps. So i have installed windows phone 7 SDK, everything is working fine.

But i have a windows phone 8 physical device. So to debug my apps with my windows phone 8 physical device, i have to register my phone with "Windows Phone Developer Registration".

my problem is: i have a windows phone 7 SDK and windows phone 8 device. but i could not able to register my windows phone 8 with windows phone 7 SDK.

Any body encountered with this situation?

You can't do that, directly, however there is a few hacks to install Windows Phone 8 sdk on a Windows 7 computer. Read this article. You can't register or deploy on Windows Phone 8 device without Windows Phone SDK 8.

  • okay. can i register my windows phone 8 mobile in my friends system where he has windows phone 8 SDK and use the same device in my windows 7 system/PC to debug or deploy an app targeted for windows phone 7? – user1798002 Jan 15 '14 at 07:03
  • No, Windows Phone 8 uses different scheme to connect. Windows Phone 7 uses Zune, Windows Phone 8 connects directly. Windows Phone 7 SDK doesn't know that. Install Windows Phone 8 sdk on your Windows 7. – crea7or Jan 15 '14 at 07:07

You can use windows 8 and install windows phone 8 sdk.With this you can make apps for windows phone 7.5 and windows phone 8 both.
