Get Mango Beta

  • Статья

If you’re a registered developer on the AppHub (https://create.msdn.com), you should have already acquired both Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 and Windows Phone OS 7.1 build 7661, better known as Mango. This is a beta build, but it is stable enough to get your started on testing apps for the next OS update.

If you’re not a registered developer… wait… what?! You’re not a registered developer?

Alright, this is not the end of the world. Just follow these simple steps:

  • Be sure that you have a Live ID by registering on https://www.live.net.
  • Use that Live ID to register at https://create.msdn.com
  • Since you’re a student, be sure to chose Student as your entity as you’re eligible to use your DreamSpark (https://www.dreamspark.com) account to waive the registration fee.
  • Download the tools, flash your phone (be sure to follow the instructions) and start developing apps!

As a new registrant you will have to wait patiently until the next batch of invites for the Mango beta update are sent out. This shouldn’t take more than a week or two.

And remember, as a student you don’t pay any fees to develop for the Windows Phone 7 marketplace and yet you are allowed to monetize on your apps.

As usual, if you have any questions, let us know.
