I started working on windows-8 this morning and I am surprised that installed app not displayed in the emulator which I installed in the morning. To be clear.
1. I created the new project called Test1 using visual studio Express 2012.
2. I installed on the emulator.
3. I close the emulator completely.
4. After an hour I created Test2 using visual studio Express 2012.
But i am not able to find the Test1 project in windows-8 phone emulator.
But when i work on iPhone and android the apps will be available if i recreate the emulator.
What could be wrong?. Do I need to change any settings?
the emulator does not persist app installs to the base image. (this was true with WP7x emulators). I don’t remember seeing anything that tells me it has changed.
Emulator shutdown + start == fresh new emulator. Only time it persists your app etc is when you change settings like display language etc and emulator initiates a restart.
