How to Dev Unlock Through WPAS?

[rjansen3]

So in the WPCentral article they say you can Dev Unlock one device through Windows Phone App Studio. I signed in but can't see an option to get your device set up. Anyone know how to do this?

Check your email. They sent a link to install a certificate.

 

[rjansen3]

Clicked add but nothing seems to happen, is there anyway to verify?

Well it says ,add the certificate to company apps , i lick add and it doesnt do anything i think ..neither i see anything in company apps in settings

I had the same problem. When I clicked the link to add my certificate, it doesn't do anything on my phone.

 

[rjansen3]

Exactly.

Create an app through the app studio with a template. If it installs after it's generated. The cert is added. If not, it didn't install.

I don't think you will see it do anything once you say yes to install the certificate.

I signed up for WPAS and since I already had the WP 8 SDK (but not a paid WP developer account) installed on my PC I just used the WP Develop Registration Tool that comes with the SDK. I connected my phone to my PC, unlocked the screen on my phone, opened the app, hit register and signed in with my WPAS account and it worked.

WP 8.0 SDK here
Download Windows Phone SDK 8.0 from Official Microsoft Download Center

Same thing here. I went to the link in the email, clicked add when it popped up, but nothing seems to happen after that. I went to the Dev Centre app to try to sign in, and it says I need a Dev Account.

When I clicked the link on my email on my phone, , it opened asking if I would like to add the company account for Microsoft corporation. and I hit add.

 

[siriustds]

Same thing mine did. after that you get no confirmation. It works as I have the notification now for GDR3, just need WiFi to download.

Get the app and then introduce your email if it works then you are good to go

My laptop is only 32bit and the SDK needs 64bit to download. does this mean I cant sign up and register my phone and therefore can't update my phone to GDR3?

 

[Binson#WP]

I'm having problems creating a "company account" I've signed up on App Studio and created a storyteller app on the site as well. So, I don't understand why it says I don't have a Microsoft Company Account?

 

[rjansen3]

All done, installing GDR3 now!

NO just sign up for the App studio. Download the app (preview app). Introduce your email and boom you are ready to go!!
