Though we have seen many of the Getting started blogs, this is my first of this kind. So, let’s see how to get started to develop a Windows 8 Store App.
All Details about the Developer tools, related SDKs, System Requirements, Documentations, Sample Codes are available in the MSDN library. Note that Windows Store Apps can be developed only in Windows8 Operating System.
Once Visual Studio is installed you can start developing Apps in C#, VB and JavaScript. So, this is an added advantage for the web developers. Creating an app with HTML,JavaScript,CSS is like developing a web app. Choose any of the Platform and choose Blank App Template, our Solution will be created. To develop apps, you will be prompted for Developer License. You can register with any Microsoft Account/ Live ID/ Hotmail ID to get a 90 days Developer License.
Now, Start writing your code, develop you Windows Store App Before you submit your App you have to do the following:
- Set the LOGOs, Capabilities, Declarations in the Package.appmanifest.
- Capture Screen Shots by running the App in Release mode in the Simuator.
- Create App Packages.
- Associate your App with the Store.
- Run the App Certification Kit. (Submit the App only if the result is PASSED)
When it is ready to be Published, you must have a Windows Store Developer Account. Sign up to Upload the App package. the Dev Centre will take you through the Submission process. Once your Submission is completed, your App will be tested and Published to the Windows Store.
