Starting today, no Windows Phone 8.0 device will be able to be developer unlocked. You have three options to continue testing Windows Phone 8.0 packages:
- - updating the phone to Windows Phone 8.1 and unlocking it for developer testing
- - submitting the apps as beta through the Windows Dev Center and testing in Windows Phone 8.0 devices, or
- - testing your Windows Phone 8.0 apps via the Windows Phone emulator.
Any Windows Phone 8.0 device currently unlocked will continue to be unlocked and work as a test device until its certificate expires.
Note that this change has no impact on apps available in the Windows Phone Store, nor will it impact customers with Windows Phone 8.0 devices.

Over the last month, we’ve brought the Windows Store and the Windows Phone Store together into a single marketing and operations team to deliver a better experience for developers, end users and partners. Our focus remains to improve the way we help you reach new users and better monetize your apps, all while reducing friction and cost. Today we are making a set of changes that will simplify doing business with us.
I’m pleased to announce a unified registration experience for both Windows Store and Windows Phone developers, available at a lower cost. As a result of these changes, Windows Store developers are now also Windows Phone developers, and Windows Phone developers are also Windows Store developers. Welcome all!
Here’s what you can expect:
- Registered Windows Store developers can now submit apps to the Windows Phone Store, using the same Microsoft account.
- Registered Windows Phone developers can now submit apps to the Windows Store at no additional cost, using the same Microsoft account.
- New developers can register and existing developers can renew their account using the same Microsoft account. Developers will enter registration information just once and pay a single lower price of $19 for an Individual and $99 for a Company account, providing access to publish
apps for both Windows and Windows Phone users. - Developers already registered with both Windows Store and Windows Phone using the same Microsoft account will receive a code via email this month, valid for a free one-year
renewal when their existing registration is up for renewal. - Students continue to be supported through the DreamSpark program.
You will continue to use the separate Windows Store and Windows Phone Dev Center Dashboards to submit and manage your apps. You can expect some differences in the steps you take to renew your account. The most notable for some of our Windows Phone developers is the addition of a credit card to validate all new account and renewals. You can read more about today’s changes on the Windows and Windows Phone Dev Centers.
Publish your app for both Windows Store and Windows Phone and earn prizes
With the holiday selling season approaching, this is an ideal time to tune-up and publish your apps for both Windows and Windows Phone to help increase your downloads and revenue. Last year holiday sales of paid apps grew 40% over baseline, and we expect an even more robust Holiday 2013 due to an even larger base of Windows and Windows Phone users with more ways to pay for apps.
As an added incentive, we’ve partnered with Nokia via the DVLUP community to give you an easy way to learn more and complete challenges as you develop for both the Windows Store and Windows Phone. Along the way, you’ll earn points that can then be redeemed for great prizes (for example, Nokia Lumia phones and more). DVLUP is currently open to developers in more than 20 countries. To participate, register for the DVLUP program and take advantage of the two new challenges available today:
Publish a new app for Windows Phone 8, or port an existing Windows Store app
or
Bring your Windows Phone app to Windows 8.1I’m hopeful that the steps we’ve taken will encourage you to publish your apps for both Windows and Windows Phone users around the world. I’ll share more in the weeks ahead, so stay tuned.

The price tier value updates for Windows Store are underway and all paid items will be updated over the course of this week. The initial maintenance was shorter than expected and app ingestion is operational again.
You can see the updated prices reflected in Windows Phone Dev Center now. We will confirm when updated prices are also available in Windows Dev Center.

Further to the email sent to all developers on March 20, 2015, a reminder that next Monday (April 13) the 96 Windows Store price tiers will be updated with new values. These price tier values are updated periodically to maintain consistency across currencies, accounting for changes in foreign exchange rates, taxes, and other geographic pricing considerations. With this update, the US Dollar (USD) price in each tier will remain the same, with the prices in all other currencies adjusted relative to the USD price.
Here is an example of a price update for a paid app published in the United States and China:
Before update
After update
Product Price in
US Dollars (USD)Equivalent Product
Price in Chinese Yuan (CNY)Product Price in
US Dollars (USD)Equivalent Product
Price in Chinese Yuan (CNY)2.99 USD
18 CNY
2.99 USD
18.50 CNY
The price tier value changes will take place automatically, there is no action required on your part. After April 13, the price tier values will be updated in Dev Center, and all paid items in the Store will be updated over the course of the week. We recommend that you review the updated prices for your paid apps and in-app products in Dev Center after April 13 and make any desired changes.
To support the updates on April 13, app ingestion will be stopped from approximately 11AM to 3PM Pacific Time. During this time newly published apps and apps updates will be queued. App ingestion will resume immediately following this maintenance window.
