is it possible ?

Look guys i am new in Windows phone development. i don't have any developer account & also any unlocked device. i just made a new app & now i want to test it on a device.. please tell me the process how to do that ?

Answer 1

The device has to be developer unlocked or the .xap file has to be downloaded from the store. You can submit the app to the store as a private beta - only the users which emails you specify will be able to install the app. The app doesn't go through certification and is ready for download in a couple of hours.
