I am developing a windows 8 store app with C#. I have released it on the store and also I am continuing my development for the next versions. How can I have both developing version and store version install on my computer? I need to be able to test the store version while keep adding features and fixing bugs.
When I change the code and try to run, I get a message that it will overwrite the store version which is already installed on my computer. It seems to be related to the fact they have the same package name in the manifest but I am not sure if modifying it is the best way and if modification would cause a problem later when I want to release the next versions.
Right now, I dont think there is an easy solution for you. You might be able to do it with some powershell but that would still make it quite a manual process. Looking forward however, I would seriously consider using Visual Studio Online (TFS Source control in the cloud) to managing your source code. Here is two guides on how to get started:
Getting started with Visual Studio Online
What you should do every time you make a release of your app is tobranch your development source code into a release branch. - A branch is basically like a folder containing a snapshot of your code. This means you can have a development branch where you are working on your next version, and then a branch for every released version of your app. Whenever you want to return to released versions of the app, then you can always open the branch containing the specific release and redeploy the app to your device. Here is a guide on branching as well:
