Windows Phone SDK 7.1 RTW
Posted on September 28, 2011 by Chris Koenig
The Windows Phone team announced this morning the Release to Web (RTW) of the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 and Developer Tools. This release consists of seven additional release languages, final finishing touches to the tooling experience, a handful of bug fixes, and additional upgrade logic to provide a better installation process for users coming from earlier tools, including the RC.
The Windows Phone guys have only 3 small requests for all Phone developers:
- Download and install the WPSDK 7.1, updating either your WPDT 7.0 RTW or WPSDK 7.1 pre-release installations
- For already submitted apps (7.0 or 7.5), it’s worth checking into your App Hub account and cross-submit your apps to make them are available in the new WP7.5 markets
- If you haven’t submitted your Windows Phone 7.5 app yet, it’s a great time to get it going; folks are excited and updating their phones – let your app light up on Mango! (If you already built and submitted your Windows Phone 7.5 app using the RC tools, you don’t need to do anything – there is no need to recompile and/or resubmit)
So – head over to http://create.msdn.com and upgrade today to the latest version of the tools! You won’t be disappointed
