How to publish Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app to Windows Phone store?

[Vladislav Vinogradov]

I created Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app, and I can't to upload it into WP store. I want to use Create App Packages tool in Visual Studio 2013 Professional, but it's impossible for Silverlight apps. I read many guides on dev.windows.com. It's necessary to upload only .appx, .appxbundle or .appxupload files, but I have .xap file only in Bin\ARM\Release folder. May anyone help me?

Hi and welcome to WindowsCentral.

I've moved your thread to the Developers Corner forum, since this is a question that other developers would be better able to answer than regular users.

Good luck with your apps.

I don't think that Silverlight apps have the appx format, I have also wrote an Silverlight app which I converted to an 8.1 Silverlight app and it still had the xap format and that's the file you have to upload.

yes , you need to locate the .xap file in your 'Release' folder of project and upload it to the devcenter
