Test third party applications without device

[Sergei Pekar]

Hello everyone.

I want to test some apps for WP but I don't have the device now. So is there any ways to install third party apps on emulator for testing? I mean downloading apps from market of downloading .xap from other sources.

Thanks

No, that's not possible. The .appx files from the store can only be installed via the store, even if you download them to a microSD card first, so if you don't have a WP then you can't use the apps. Not only that but when the apps are installed they check to see if you have a valid license to use those apps.
