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 I also tried to replace updated xap file on my SD card to outdated when install button is available on the SD card menu into marketplace.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.

Tried I way that @djamol send me in my PM (yes, I still hope to get an old xap working on my phone!)
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.

Its only for WP8 devices that have a MicroSD slot. Nothing from the marketplace can be deployed via the sdk deployent tool, as the marketplace xaps are encrypted.
thanks

Well that bites I just spend 30 mins setting up two nest in my house and need the app on my phone. Oh well hopefully they will pick up support for them soon.

I found even with the uSD, if an app has been discontinued it will not install as it checks the Store to see if the app is still valid.
For manually install original xaps from the market store is only one way:

After copy xap file to SD card, you have to restart the phone and wait few second (may be 1 or 2 minutes). Next you run to the market store and tap SD card, when opened you can install copied app from the list.

Does anyone have the vevo xap for sideloading? I don't want to lose the app when I change phones or do a factory reset :'(
sent from my denim licious orange nokia 930
Does it even still work? Sounded like they were dropping support for it, not merely de-listing the app.
Not that it would surprise me if it does; I never installed it in the first place so I can't check.
It still works
Everyone advises to just not uninstall it from your phone but what happens if I need to do a hard reset or when I buy my next device?Someone has to have an unsigned xap. I asked Rafael on twitter but because its such public forum he didn't respond but he sometimes drops xaps that are able to side load kong after they're gone
So does anyone have the vevo xap?
i have the xap
@GoodDayToDie if I email it to you can you crack it?
If it's pulled right off the phone, sure; that's a really simple change.
If it's pulled off the store (DRM encrypted) then no, that's an excruciatingly complex wall of nonsense.
ok here it is

the xap posted cant be patched.
only one from the phone can be patched.
does anyone else have the app on their phone?
If you have the app on you phone will you please patch it? I'll even donate!
ok the app is on my phone can i patch it? also i have an old patched xap too
@ceesheim @GoodDayToDie @thals1992
ok I have the app on 2 of my phones an HTC 8X and a nokia 930, I read a tutorial to patch an xap but you need a phone with an sd card, is that the way to get the app off my phone, but neither have sd card slots, with that being said is there still a way to patch the app that's on these phones? I am also uploading an old wp7 version of the vevo app that I downloaded off of winphonhub, its patched and works fairly well with occasional error message, can this patched xap help you patch a more current one?
also id like to add I have 2 windows phones 635 and 830 with sd card slots, this may sound like a silly question, can I put the current marketplace xap onto the sd card and patch it from within the phone? or does it need to be installed on the phone too as well? (which unfortunately they are not installed on my sd card slot phones)

it MUST be installed on a phone with an sd card so that you can move the app to the sd card, then you can get the app of the phone and patch it.
if it isn't installed on your 830 then the xap only will not help you because the market place checks if the app is there , if it isn't then it will not let you install the the app
there are some hardcore ways to get the app of your x8 but that is only for real advanced users like @compu829 , because you need to actually brick your phone to enable mass storage mode . there are some threads about that.
@noelito if you upgrade your L930 to Windows Phone 10, there is a simple way for you to get the xap off of the device for backup!
i can definitely upgrade the L930 to w10 tp
@compu829 ok how to back up the xap? where is the tutorial? I am looking for the way to upgrade non supported devcies to windows 10 phones, I should be good to go because I have noupgrade the windows insider app
is this the link? and when do i do the back up / extract?
ok I found this thread @compu829
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105
do I follow the instructions on this thread to install windows 10 on my 930?
however at what point am I able to extract the vevo app and patch, when do I do that?
I was thinking about having you update your phone and then using the following trick to access c:\ on the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ranted-c-access-windows-10-technical-t3032766 I know that your model is supported in the next version of the preview when it is released.
@compu829 yes I read the Lumia icon will be supported for windows 10 tp but they didn't mention 930 could have been inadvertently left out, I think I have done this before, if you are able to give step by step instructions im even open to doing a remote access to my PC if you wanted to do it for me or guide me as I go a long doing it
I was able to download latest WhatsApp Beta xap from old Windows Phone Store. However, when I try to deploy, any soft that I use show an error with header file or damaged zip file. What's wrong? Is it an encrypted xap? If so, How should I do to unsigned and deploy correctly on my phone? (I know I have to root my mobile, but the problem is with file itself).
Thanks in advance.
Upload here.
yes it's encrypted xap, deploy via SD

Can you tell me how to open it?
If is cripted, you cant. If not, you have to erase one file inside archive. WMAppPRHeader.xml
So, how to deploy it? Just putting the xap in SD card?
Edit. It doesn't works. XAP here.
The answers are already given...
you cant deploy those apps, not from pc, phone or SD.
That only works with official downloaded apps from the store ( the one you are signed in ).
Al these apps are encrypted to prevent just those actions you are trying to do.
If you realy want to deploy the beta app, you have to register to the beta project.
Otherwise its a no go.
What do you expect from beta version?
If you really want to test the new features before get's public. Then register for beta version or get contact support from WhatsApp.com (they've closed beta testing).
Or if you want to use multiple mobile numbers in single device then change the GUID of public app.
Here is decrypted latest xap.

IIRC, WhatsApp closed its beta registrations. That is why I asked

Hello, xda members I need An repacked xap of tapatalk.can any one share the xap if you have. Because I can't download from the store.
Thanks
:highfive:
what about this one?
Tapatalk Classic
it's available for Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.
yes, it is NOT available by search from the phone (it's really weird...),
BUT it is available by the direct link.
so to download it from phone, you should open in phone web-browser link "https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9wzdncrfhwnl".
you could do i manually, or open link from email, or Skype message, or OneNote document, or whatever you prefer. and after several seconds, you should see a "Store" application open the details of this app.
unfortunately, this app can't be installed on WP8.1
p.s.: i do not have a fully unlocked WP8, so can't repack it.
not shown into store...app is not available...if you have then repack and send to me.
updated the answer. in short, try to open direct link on your phone.
sorry,
unfortunately, this app can't be installed on WP8.1
did you try it from http://www.appx4fun.com/xap/175/ ?
hey, bro . for repack xap its does not need to full unlock you phone.. only you phone is register for side load two app is enough by developer register tool... then deploy custom WPSystem.xap and copy the install directory with folder and send me its zip...
i see... but unfortunately, i do not have it installed.
but i realized why it can not be installed by direct link: the app is most likely marked as "Make product unavailable" by developer. i checked it with my "Market Purchase History" - the situation is exactly the same: it's available by direct link, but can not be installed at all.
so, sorry, can't help you.
hope the version from appx4fun.com works for you.
