Developing app for XBox One

Question

[mod: Discussion of non-public API removed]

Answer 1

Hi,

while according to public information the Xbox One uses a very similar development model based on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Universal Apps you right now can't deploy them to regular Xbox's. You would need an Xbox One Development Kit. Even if you have that you can not sideload Apps to regular Xbox One consoles.

It's possible this will change with Windows 10 on Xbox One but right now you won't be able to bring your App from Windows 8 to the Xbox without a development Xbox.

Hi Shally,

This forum is for only publically available and supported development of Windows Store apps.

If you have access to non-public environments then please raise any questions or issues through the channels from which you received your environment.
