Unable to sideload UWP App to Windows phone 10

I just coded my first very simple UWP App for my Windows 10 phone (Blu Win HD LTE).

I created the package using VS 2017(by right clicking on my solution then store then create package). It gives me an appx file.

I then copy over the entire folder to my phone, install all dependencies, install the certificates but when I finally try to install the app, it asks me whether I want to install the app. I tap yes and the prompt disappears. That's it. Nothing happens, the app doesn't get installed.

I have tried appx, and appxbundle too. Can anyone rule out what mistake I am doing?

My Phone is running the Windows 10 update Version 1607 build 10.0.14393.693 Developer mode is enabled

So, WP8 or WP10? Tag one, not both. Judging by your question though, you should only have tagged as WP10. – tambre
Have you enabled developer mode in the settings on the phone ?wups, you have then ensure timing on the phone correct on earliere devices you needed sometimes to remove auto date and time. Have you tried deploying to the phone via vs? – JTIM
@JTIM Tried removing auto date/time, didn't work. No, I didn't find any option to deploy to phone using VS – YaddyVirus
That is standard, where you split to emulator you can change it to deploy to device – JTIM
Your phone supports x64? I really doubt it does. And for phones the only available architecture is ARM AFAIK. – Marian Dolinský

Windows 10 Mobile Version 1607 build 10.0.14393.693 is not the latest version. Connect to Wifi, charge your phone, and search for new updates under settings app->Update & security > Phone update > Check for updates

enter image description here

and install the Build 14393.1066. This build seams to fix an app deployment issue, maybe also yours.

Create the package for ARM only. The package created by Visual studio by default is for x86,x64 and ARM all.

Uncheck the x86,x64 options.

On clicking the install button the popup will disappear and the phone will not show any progress on installing but the application will be shown automatically in the phone after some time.
