In visual studio 2015 I created an UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app, and try to debug and run it in Windows 10 Mobile 5" emulator. But it shows me this error :

the project app1 needs to be deployed before it can be started. verify the project is selected to be deployed the solution configuration manager, or deploy it explicitly by clinking one of the deploy commands in the build menu.

What is deploy? And how I can deploy my project !?

Thanks !

Here is the error image:

I am running Visual Studio in Parallels on a Macbook and also got this error. It turns out my project files were being saved on my mac via network drive. When I moved the entire project to the C:\ drive for my parallels install, it worked fine.

In my case I had a multi target solution incl. WinPhone and Andorid. The checkbox deploy in the solution configuration was set. How I fixed the problem:

  • Set the WinPhone Project as Startup project
  • and then select the appropriate deployment device in my case the emulator

  2. Deploy Selection
  3. Hit F5 to start the default/Start-Up project

For me, the problem was that I was running an SQL File from the from the Projekt separately. After closing the file it worked again. The file was in Packages folder in:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\YourApppackegesName

Deleting the directory "YourApppackegesName " may also work if closing the File doesn't work.
