Windows Phone developers might want to think twice before upgrading to Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Microsoft confirmed Monday that it does not support the Windows Phone SDK.
"We know many of our software developers are excited and eager to get started using the consumer preview on a daily basis, but Windows 8 is still a preview release, which means that there are going to be instances of software incompatibility," Larry Lieberman, a senior product manager at Microsoft, said in a blog post. "One of these incompatibilities is unfortunately with the current Windows Phone SDK."
Lieberman, however, insisted that Microsoft is "working to address these issues" and promised to have more details in the coming weeks.
Why doesn't it work now? Lieberman pointed to three specific issues. The first is XNA Game Studio. If you try to install the Windows Phone SDK, you'll receive an error message related to components of the XNA tool chain, which will fail to install on Windows 8
