Chapter 8. Releasing our game
Up until now, we've gained all the technical knowledge we need to develop games for Windows Phone. Unfortunately, that's not all the knowledge we need. If we want to release our game, we need to test it thoroughly and follow some rules before submitting it to the marketplace. After that, our game needs to pass validation before it is released to the Windows Phone Marketplace. Note that there is no way to share our game with friends without the Marketplace, unless their phone is unlocked.
In this chapter we will cover:
Testing our game
Creating a trial version of our game
Application certification requirements
Application submission process
