I wonder if the "UWP" in your thread title means you're developing a UWP app.

If what you want to develop is UWP app, please upgrade your PC OS to Windows 10 since Windows 8.1 actually doesn't support UWP development.

If what you develop is Windows 8.1 app, you could try to remove the folder of your game app both on PC and Windows phone, then rebuild a new one in Unity. Then re-deploy the .appx to your device connected through USB or available on the same subnet.

Before that, please remember to make sure your phone is in developer mode. If you still cannot fix it, please try to repair your Visual Studio or restart your Windows Phone.

Hope this thread can give you some hints.
