Hello!
I’ve been reading through the forum and I have not stumbled across this question. Is there a suggest daily build to develop for Windows 8? The blog post, or somewhere else, suggested that you’ll have Windows 8 skins available in one of the daily builds. So, I’m just looking to use the recommended daily build if possible.
Thanks to Corona for making this available!
thatssopanda - if I understand your question, this works a little differently with CoronaCards.
We are including a WP8 skin with the Corona simulator. So any recent build (last 2 weeks or so) should have them. So you can do all Lua code work in there.
At the same time, since this is CoronaCards, you will need to do the builds with Visual Studio, etc and bring in the CoronaCards files. Since you are Pro, you have access to the CoronaCards daily builds as well.
Does that answer your question? Or did I misunderstand?
Hello,
I’m pretty sure it’s a misunderstanding on my part on how Corona Cards work. I thought the WP8 builds required a certain version of Corona SDK and did not realize they were independent. This does answer this question.
For another question, is there a video that walks us through building for WP8?
Yup. Take a look at the videos section here:

Hello David!
I hope you see this message! I went out and bought a Windows 8 phone and while I’ve contacted support for an updated license.ccdata file, I went ahead and did some testing on the phone. I do see a big TRIAL in the center of the screen, but I also see numbers running vertically on the right hand side of the screen. Are these numbers present because it is still in trial mode?
Edit: And thank you again for your help!
Those number on the right side of the screen only appear when you run your app via Visual Studio’s .NET debugger. These number do not appear when you run your app normally, such as after stopping the Visual Studio debugger and then tapping on your app via your WP8 device’s app list.
Microsoft documents this debugging information here…

And for your info, these numbers represent the following:
Also, since you are a Pro subscriber, you should already qualify for a WP8 CoronaCards license. Instruction on where to download the license file and add it to your project can be found here…

Hello!
Thank you for the information! I just bought a Windows 8 phone and I’m still learning quite a bit.
For the license, I followed the instructions at /wp8/license.html and ran into this problem: “The provided license file does not authorize this software to run on this platform…” and the solution was to contact support. I submitted the email a little over a hour ago.
Thanks for your quick reply!

Daniel - my fault. Since I changed your status manually a couple of days ago, I did not add in the WP8 license. That’s probably why you are seeing the trial. That should be fixed now…
Right, and now that David has authorized you for WP8 development, you’ll need to re-download a new “license.ccdata” file which will get rid of that trial watermark. Thanks for your patience and have fun developing for WP8. :)
Thank you David and Thank You Joshua!
