Installing Windows Phone app with MDM - windows-phone

I have a windows phone 8.1 app.
My app is generating is Appxbundle file.
Now i want to give my application to enterprise's MDM solution like Maas360.
What else do i need to do ? ...Will the MDM solution take it from here, sign it with their certificate and distribute ?
I don't have any options to sign from developer end.
Regards,
Saurav

The customer needs to register for enterprise app distribution with Microsoft. They would then get Symantec certificate and you will sign the app with it.
After that the devices enrolled with MDM solution and the relevant enrollment token should be able to get your app.

You cant insatll your windows phone 8.1 application externaly .

How to install Windows Phone app for beta testing without purchasing a certificate

I have a Windows Phone individual developer account and need to do a beta testing internally. I used Appaloosa and HockeyApp for this purpose. But, when I try to download the app and install it on my Windows Phone, it shows a message "Can't install company app" on both Appaloosa and HockeyApp.
I heard that one needs to have a Symantec certificate and an .aetx file in order to install Windows Phone app which costs $299.00.
I need to know if there is any other option so that I can install my developed app freely on some Windows Phone devices which are intended for testing. I might need to email my .xap file to the testers and let them download and install for testing purpose.
You can install your developed app on some Windows Phone devices from Windows Store. If you have development account, you can publish your app with limited access. You will get link on your app. Your app will access only for people, who have this link. Another people will not find your app in Windows Store.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
For iOS, you must setup the server with SSL support.
There are too many steps to detail here, so it is based for you to review the full set of instructions in the following user documentation topic: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.0.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/appcenter/c_ac_ssl_config.html%23configuringsecuresocketslayerssl

Alternatives to Windows Phone 8 Emulator

I have a computer with Windows 8 Enterprise (Evaluation) and an Intel Q8300 CPU (which does not support SLAT as far as I know).
I also own a Samsung ATIV S - Windows Phone 8 smartphone.
I would like to develop Windows Phone 8 app(s) but the emulator won't run on my PC. What are my options? Can I plug the phone via the USB cable and debug the app on it? Or this will also require a developer account (which I hear is 100 US dollars per year)?
You have to unlock your phone to debug applications on it, and yes, you need a Windows Phone Developer account to do that. It costs 100$ per year.
MSDN: About deploying and running apps on a Windows Phone device
You have to meet the following prerequisites before you can deploy an
app to a Windows Phone device:
You must be a registered developer. For info about registering as a developer, see Registration info.
The phone must be registered. For more info, see How to register your phone for development.
And about Dev Account cost: Register for a Dev Center account
An annual Dev Center subscription is $99 USD plus any applicable tax.
For that, you’ll get to submit unlimited paid apps to Windows Phone
Store. You can also submit up to 100 free apps.
You do not need to pay for Windows Phone Developer account. All you need is a computer with Zune software running and a USB cable. The rest is mostly automated.
Depending on your app, if you can get 99% working on f.e. android, it might be an option to upload a winphone build to the Windows Phone Store and specify its a beta submission. To do this, yes, you need a developer account. But you dont need to unlock your phone.
Add yourself (and other devs) to the beta tester list and submit the app.
It will be available in ~1 hour, but it doesnt really appear in the store; you need to install it using a link sent to you by mail.
As for debugging, try Weinre.

Windows 8 metro apps offline download

Is their any sites available to download windows 8 metro apps for offline installation. Alternative to windows store.Because i don't have internet connection in home.
Please tell me any sites ?
You have to be connected to install Windows 8 Store apps. You cannot sideload an app that has been downloaded from the Windows Store.
Alternatively, you can get your app directly from the developer without involving the Store, in which case, installation can be offline. Apps that aren't signed by Windows Store can only be installed on sideloading-enabled devices.
Actually you can install Windows apps offline, I did it by capturing the URL windows store referring to, it was a file with .appx or .appxbundle extension. However, the URL contained some security information referring to the Windows Store session and user id. It means you cannot multi-part-download it or resume it if disconnected, very disappointing in case of games with 2 Gb or more data. After that, I installed these packages with PowerShell command
Add-AppxPackage [Disk:\File Location\File name.appx]
without brackets. It installed and worked correctly.
Waiting for a dedicated side-software (Like Cydia or smith.) that does it in one-click.
It is only a few days for Windows app store to be live and unfortunately in your case, NO option to it for now.

Rhodes app signing for BlackBerry

I read that BlackBerry signing keys can be only installed on one PC.
I'm compiling my Rhomobile Rhodes app on one PC. But the BlackBerry signing keys are installed on another PC. What I need to do in order to sign the app on another PC.
PS: I've set bbsignpwd in rhobuild.yml.
As per Blackberry guideline you have to create build from the PC on which Blackberry signing keys is installed.
Well, its possible to copy signing files from other PC to your PC and use them for signing (of course as long as the users trust each other).
