Folks, I have been asked to write a demo Windows Phone app, which I've
never done before, but I'm keen to give it a bash. However, I'm off to a
bad start. VS2013 Update 4 has no New Project template for a phone app. I
have installed all VS2013 features. I can see the Windows Phone SDK v8.0
and
Are you developing on Windows 8.1 with VS2013?

You probably need to go for a Universal app?

Hi Ian (and Stephen),
No I was absentmindedly on Windows 7 where I do the bulk of my normal work.
In a tiny hint in some web search I saw a comment about no support in
Windows 7. I just went over to a VM running VS2013 retail and it has lots
of phone templates, so there you go! I staggers me
Windows 7 doesn’t provide the hooks that makes the design-time environment for
Phone work. When you design on Phone, you’re actually designing on top of
Windows 8 XAML stack.

Greg - Yes, Windows 8 has the Hyper-V. But I know that a few people have used
the WP8 SDK on Windows 7. I think a requirement is 64-bit Windows? But the
VS2012 Express version is suitable.
I found this a good jump-off point - Developing Apps for Windows 8
