Deploying UWP App To ARM based Device

Introduction

Here are the steps to show how to deploy a UWP app in ARM based device. It is useful to devs, QA, and manager to be able to falsely deploy applications in windows phones (having Windows 10 Mobile OS) to check the application. As of now (2nd Dec 2015) we cannot usethe visual studio deployment process on connected devices, so this article solves the problem.

Background

As of now if we connect a windows 10 mobile device to machine and usethe visual studio 2015 ARM deployment process, it gives some error. Another reason I'm writing this arcticl is that will help QA and Managers to deploy apps on windows 10 mobile OS devices.

Using the Steps

  • Download & Install Windows 10 SDK – (https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk).
  • In your device (windows 10 mobile device) go to settings->Update & security->for developer. Select Developer mode.
  • Open command prompt.
  • Connect your device to machine by USB connection and unlock the device.
  • >Cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86
  • >WinAppDeployCmd install –file “<appx path>” –ip 127.0.0.1 (Note :
  • While running above command, please make sure connected device is unlock
  • Example – WinAppDeployCmd install -file "D:\ApplicationUWP\Development\ Debug\TestApp_ARM_Debug_Test\TestApp_ARM_Debug.appx" -ip 127.0.0.1
  • This will install the app in your device.
