First of all, you must use windows 10 to build apps for windows 10, to build
universal platform app. You cannot use windows 8.1 or 8 or 7 or XP. You have to
use visual studio 2015. I used visual studio 2015 community for community
based project instead of the pro version. I will be using windows phone emulator,
running hyper v which is a platform to run virtual machine on desktop.
2. Deploy my app to physical phone device running windows form 10 for the
purpose of testing.
3. Turn on developer mode.
4. Publish app on windows store.
5. Why the font size is different in the xaml editor and properties, because the font
size in xaml editor render according to the device (screen size and resolution).
6. Leave emulator on as it takes time to reboot it.
7. Adaptive layout. Navigation and functions depending on device library. Stuff like
navigation, resolution, fonts might be different depending on the device.
8. Xaml language and API a library of methods that Microsoft have created.
