StoreTest Kit Windows Phone 8.1 - silverlight

I'm following a tutorial regardning submitting your Windows Phone app for beta test. In the tutorial I'm propmt to use the "Store test kit" from the "Projects" menu in Visual Studio. I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013 and the option for "Store Test Kit" isn't there. Has it been replaced?
I'm developing for Windows Phone 8.1 and I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows.

Maybe this link provides useful information.
If you are developing a Windows Phone 8.1 app:
You must install and run Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Insider Preview.
You must install Windows App Certification Kit version 3.3 or version 10, which is included in the Windows SDK for Windows 8.1.
You must also install the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK for developing phone apps.
Download Certification Kit => Link, SDK should be included within Visual Studio

Windows Forms (.NET Core) is missing in the Visual Studio Community 2019

I have a problem which I struggle for 3 days. It seems that my Visual Studio Community 2019 doesn't want to recognise the ".Net core" for Windows Forms. I even install it manually (downloaded from Microsoft - .NET Core 3.1 SDK) but doesn't help. I used this blog Microsoft blog. They said that I have to install " Windows Forms .NET Core Designer VSIX package" because "it isn’t yet bundled with Visual Studio", but there is no link to download. I don't have ".NET Core" in "Project solutions" and "Visual Studio Installer" (I cannot download it from the installer). The version of VSC 2019 - 16.8.2
SS:
Installer
Project Picker
Installer2

So I had the same problem and yes you can't find .NET core windows form directly to open windows form that support windows form you will need to first open non .NET framework windows from app there you can select if you want core which version.
Windows Form Application
Selecting Desired Framework
You'd have to select Windows Forms App (.Net) from the available project types and that will open up as the latest .NET core Windows Froms.

Visual Studio 2017 fails to deploy UWP apps to IoT device

Visual Studio (VS 2017) has started failing to deploy to my IoT device ... I recently started using a more recent version of Windows 10 IoT Core (upgraded from build 17134 to insider build 17692) and Visual Studio can no longer deploy UWP apps.
The reported error is:
DEP6957: Failed to connect to device [IP Address] using Universal
Authentication. Please verify the correct remote authentication mode
is specified in the project debug settings. COMException - Exception
from HRESULT: 0x801C0003
The IP address is valid and VS can see the device.
This seems to be an error reflecting a mismatch between the Windows SDK installed on the Visual Studio machine and the OS version on the IoT device.
For recent versions of Windows 10 IoT Core (I'm using the insider images that you can install through the Windows IoT Dashboard), a recent version of the Windows SDK (I used Windows 10 SDK 1803) must be installed on your deployment machine.
Also uninstalled and reinstalled UWP parts of VS as described above.
Finally, I clicked on "update" for the whole VS installation (Visual Studio Installation program). Drew 4GB out of the net over night and in the morning everything was working as it should...

You can run Visual Studio 2013 in your machine,no problem about the windows version.:)
Here is how to fix your error. :)
1.Goto Your BIOS settings.
2. Check for a setting called "Intel Virtualisation Technology".
I cant specify exactly where it is.But It must be there in the BIOS settings and it should have been disabled.
3.So you need to enable it.
If you can specify the model of your motherboard I can help you further. :)

Visual Studio 2013 only showing Silverlight apps when making Windows Phone App

I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition on Windows 8 and when I go to create a new project, all the apps I see are for Silverlight.
Is this how it should be or did I miss some SDK or something?
You can't target WP8.1 on Windows 8 - you need Windows 8.1.
WinRT apps (i.e. non-Silverlight) on Windows Phone are only compatible with Windows Phone 8.1.
Upgrade Windows to 8.1, and make sure you also have the latest WP8.1 SDK installed.
Basically your dev machine's Windows version must at least match the target Windows version (including Windows Phone).
