[Solved] SmartDeviceException – App deployment failed in Windows Phone Emulator

The Issue

When I tried to run my windows phone app in the emulator I was receiving the following error.

**Error 1 Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during boostrapping stage ‘Connecting to the device’: SmartDeviceException – App deployment failed. Please try again. 

The error was just killing me. It was another day now. I have already spent frustrating 2 days in solving this issue.

I tried repairing the Windows SDK Emulator from control panel. It took all its time and get it repaired. Restart and tried. Same error.

Lots of search in Google. Finally I got the following http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24613912/windows-phone-emulator-not-being-started. It says, uninstalling the anti virus solved the issue.

What did I do ???
I thought of to follow the step, since it looks a bit logical to me. There may be the possibility my Firewall is blocking it.
So I just disabled my Symantic antivirus.

WOW… that’s it. It worked like a charm.

SOLVED ……  SOLVED  ….. SOLVED  🙂 🙂 🙂
