Moving my App from Corona SDK for iOS and Android to CoronaCards for WP8

CoronaCards (Corona in native apps) CoronaCards for WP8
#1

  1. is there a step-by-step process I can walk through to create my first CoronaCards Windows Phone app within a Visual Studio framework? I don’t use Visual Studio yet.

  2. Can I use the Corona SDK system.getInfo within Corona Cards?

  3. Can I get the “environment” within my CoronaCards App?

  4. Can I still use Fortumo plug-in for in-app purchases when running CoronaCards?

  5. Will CoronaSDK eventually support WP8 directly as it does iOS and Android?

First, have a look at our documentation via the link below.  It will answer most of your questions on the what’s required to build for WP8, step-by-step guidance on how to port an existing Corona app, and Lua APIs and features currently supported.

Regarding WP8 build support via the Corona Simulator, this won’t happen in the near future.  This is mostly because there are still several features not implemented on WP8 yet and the only way for a Corona developer to use additional features such as in-app purchase, ads, etc. is via native development through our Lua/.NET bridge.  This makes our CoronaCards solution the most reasonable means of delivering WP8 support to Corona developers.

#3

If I buy Pro Subscription Do I have to buy Corona Cards for WP8 separately or not? Because the pricing page shows if you are pro subscriber you can build for all platforms. And where are the documents to prove that?

I believe this blog post will answer your questions regarding licensing:
