Seems its a bug atm. However, if anyone messages you even though you appear offline, you will get the message. Same with calls.
Hey guys. Have a problem with Skype. Recent update makes Skype only to Microsoft Account Sign in but I`m using different Skype accounts and don`t wanna merge them. So Is there any way to sideload old version of Skype? Found 2.13.0.290 but can`t sideload it. Application Deployment says "XAP file is invalid." and WPV XAP Deployer 2.0.0 says "Cannot read that as ZipFile". Same with current version available in store.
I have Lumia 620 with Black update and free unlock (2 apps I think).

You can't sideload XAPs from the store. Just connect one of your Skype accounts to a Microsoft account and problem solved...
You guys sideloading YouTube, right? Because there was good app. I need to use an older version of Skype whose allows me to login with my Skype creditenals instead of Microsoft one. I have found and tried "unlocked" Skype xaps with versions of 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0, 1.1.0.0. The most older version closes immidately after start and newer ones crashing when the cyan background appears. IM+ allows me to login with Skype but I can`t make voice calls through it.
So I need any version of Skype from 2.15.0.154 and lower that works with Lumia Black/GDR3 update. Maybe @AlvinPhilemon can help... And for sure I need non-interop version.
My point was that XAPs from the store are encrypted and thus can't be sideloaded, as you can only sideload plain unencrypted XAPs. How AlvinPhilemon obtained the unencrypted YouTube XAP is beyond me, but AFAIK the store encryption hasn't been broken yet, which leaves only the possibility of using either the XAP after it was installed (because they get decrypted after download) or taking the pre-installed one from the ROM (because those are also unencrypted).
Why is signing in with a Microsoft account such a problem for you in the first place? You need it to use most of the phone anyway, and as you've already experienced, older versions tend to have problems, so you will hardly get anything to work. And even if you do, there's always a possibility that Skype login still won't work in case MS changed something on their side.
Sadly I have no success with that
When I`m tricking a response with Fiddler, there is a c00cee3b error. I also tried to replace updated xap file on my SD card to outdated when install button is available on the SD card menu into marketplace. There is a constanly error during setup after 3/4 of the installing bar.
On interop-unlocked phones, it is possible (with some hacks) to extract the files for an app and re-build the .XAP archive. That's how the older YouTube version was resurrected.

I know. But there is also a problem with Skype xaps. Versions 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0 and 1.1.0.0 that I found unlocked are not working. v0.2.0.0 crashes immidately and newer ones shows cyan background before crash. There is also version 1.3.0.0 that have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string. Actual version 2.0.16.266 was "cracked" too and it also has that string.
I can`t install 1.3.0.0 and 2.0.16.266 versions on my Lumia 620 due to INTEROPSERVICES restriction and I can install 1.3.0.0 when ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string is removed but it fails to work. It also crashing after the cyan background appears. 2.0.16.266 still gave an error after no ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string but there is no reason for sideloading it - it`s available on the Marketplace and lacks of Skype account signing in support (people report that they still using their Skype account if they has been logged in in previous versions).
Give me old version of skype xap file. I'll do decrypt it.

If you can successful install a skype without Interop Capability, then you succeed !!!
Just follow my steps to add Interop capability again.
Move skype on the SD Card.
Remove SD Card from the phone.
Insert SD Card on PC through card reader.
Now go to an Installation directory of skype in WPSystem\Apps\{***}\Install
Delete the DRM Encrypted WMAppManifest.xml file.
Now put your decrypted.xml which is an enabled Interop Capability.

I was little skeptical because of WMAppManifest.xml file. An idea to replace it and get some good things was discussed long ago with FAIL.
But anyway I did tried his method. I had successfully replaced that file but just didn't get needed result. App still crashes after the blue background appears for a second or less. Then I tried to move an app back to internal memory and then weird thing happened. Looks like it was failed to transfer my app back with modded file and an operation stuck somewhere between. Skype has disappeared both from Internal and SD card apps list of the Data/Storage Control ("Контроль памяти" in Russian) and it`s icon on the regular app list (one with all apps listed, opens by start screen swipe) turns into grey with no logo on it. When I tried to start it there is loading... ("Загрузка..." in Russian) sign with dot animation appears. I has leaved it in that state for the whole night but nothing happens and the phone was even half-charged after it.
Finally I have found new xap "for Lumia 610" which is WP7 xap and successfully sideloaded it but it crashes after the blue background like the all I tried before. FAIL
you just cant replace files and hope for the best.
sometimes you can trick apps with changed icons but not with complete xml codepages.
WMAppManifest.xml is used at installation of the application, but not to start the application.
i have a nokia lumia 520 dev unlocked i am using xap deployer 2.0 when i try to deploy certain xap it says cant open as a zip file even though its not how to fix this
Sounds like you're trying to deploy a Store app. Those can't be sideloaded from a PC. If you have an SD card in your phone, move the .XAP onto the SD card and you might then be able to install it from the Store app in the phone (without needing to download it from the Store directly). You'll still need to buy it if its a paid app that you didn't already pay for, by the way.
Also, un-encrypted (that is, non-store) XAP files are indeed ZIP archives. They just have to contain some specific files (WMAppManifest.xml, for example) and they have a different extension.
Hi...
I am having problem with my Lumia 535 in installing application from SD card. I manually downloaded many apps from Microsoft site & copied it to SD card. But when i try to install it, it shows ("Can't install company app. There's a problem with company app. Contact your company's support person for help"). Also when i try to install any app from Microsoft site directly, it takes me to the login page saying "Because you're accessing sensitive info, you need to verify your password." after login when I click the Get App button i get the msg "We tried sending a download request to your phone, but we did not receive a response from your phone.
Re: Lumia 535 App installation problem
Hello there arun_9847,
I think that the type of SD card that you are using might not be supported by Lumia 535 unless; it’s a class 4 SD card. Nonetheless, I hope these below-mentioned links can help you sort your problem. I would also suggest that you keep the Mobile Network activated and your phone connected to the PC or Laptop using a USB cable while installing the apps from your SD Card.
appsforlumia.com/how-to-install-applications-from-my-sd-card/
windowsphone.com/en-in/how-to/wp8/apps/how-do-i-install-apps-from-an-sd-card
microsoft.com/en-in/mobile/support/product/lumia535-dual-sim/smartguidance/?action=singleTopic&topic=GUID-16ADFF26-E34A-429F-A6BF-9D9826C1D7BF-8_10_1
In case if these above links do not help, you should visit a nearby Lumia store.
If the apps are Store apps (i.e. you downloaded them from windowsphone.com) just use the Store on the phone. You can download apps right there, or you can install them off of the SD card from there too (expand the App Bar at the bottom, choose "install local apps").
If they are company apps (from your employer or something), you need to open them on the phone. If they're already in your phone's SD card, use a file browser (there isn't one built in, but there are a bunch of free ones on the store) to open the .XAP files (same way you'd open a .doc file in Word). Alternatively, visit the website on the phone and download them that way; this will let you open the apps (and install them) directly. You could also email them to yourself, and open the attachments on the phone. Again, this only works for company apps.
If they are developer apps (i.e. not yet published), you have to use the Windows Phone Application Deployment tool (it's free, but it's part of the Windows Phone SDK, which is a big download). Connect the phone via USB, open the deployment tool, select the .XAP file to install, and hit the Install button.

If you manually download apps from microsoft store then copy it to your sd card and then open store then open menu in menu select install local apps it will show the apps compatible with your device.
If the app you are trying to install is of older version it will detect it as not compatible.
And when you try to install from windows store it ask for your password cause someone might try to download paid apps from your account and which might cause you money.
and make sure you turn on "send apps directly to my phone via push notification" this can be found under find my phone setting
So i upgraded my Huawei W1 to WP10 TP. Unfortunately I'm facing several problems:
1) I can't deploy .xap files anymore (I guess the backward compatibility ended with WP10)
2) The store won't let me download Here Drive (the device doesn't meet the requirements)
3) Being a smart cookie I tried downloading Here Drive from the store manually but I only get an .xap file which due to 1) I can't deploy to my device
So my questions are:
1) Is there a way how I still can deploy a .xap file to a WP10 phone?
2) Does the store use the registry to determine if a phone is capable of running an app? If so: If I edit the registry to fake a capable device, will I be able to install from store and run the app?
3) Can I force the store to provide the app in .appx rather than .xap file format? General procedure for manual downloading mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/apps-games/apps-marketplace-t3171675
1) Have you tried openning developer mode?
2) Yes
3) What will it do if the app is an appx rather than xap?
@tolipwen
3) No appx is appx and xap is xap

My phone is in developer mode and I'm using (well trying to) WinAppDeployCmd. Unfortunately this will only accept .appx or .appxbundle. So the tool will just refuse sending an .xap to my phone running WP10.
On WP8.1 I used WPV XAP Deployer 2.0 for deploying my apps but it won't recognize my wp10 phone anymore. Is there an alternative that I'm missing?

Yes those are two different definitions. What puzzled me was that the store only offered me xap files for download and I tried like 50 apps. I thought most of them would be in the current .appx format.
EDIT: Solved. For some reason my phone gets recognized by the XAP deployer 2.0 now.

You're not supposed to factory reset your phone. In the post I quoted is a step-by-step guide in english. The russian videos are just to clear things up. Please reply in the quoted thread and state at which point you run into troubles.

Very easy.
I recently bought a treasure tag and had to see that the WP app is no longer published, meaning this useful piece of plastic is not usable for me right now. I was able to find the original app as .XAP and .APPX-BUNDLE but since that app was once published, it is now encrypted and can't be sideloaded without getting error messages.
Is there any way to get the app working again? I basically need a XAP deployment tool which is able to "pirate" these extensions so that I can use my treausre tag finally.
Is there any tool out there or did one of you maybe made a homebrew version of that app ?
is possible if you have patched version of app...
talked about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/help/qa-photosynth-microsoft-store-t3182245
but Treasure Tag app is still in Store... maybe you not look carefully

I'm on WM10 build 10512
then problem is in Win 10... work fine on 8.1...

I tried getting an shortcut from the removed Device Hub app and it was successfully, but launching Treasure Tag from the was not greated with any success, I guess it's for whatever reason not deployable on WM10 yet.
I may roll back to 8.1 GDR3, install treasure tag and upgrade to WM10 again, maybe this will work
