I'm developing a UWP app for Windows 10 Phone. Since some days when I try to deploy the app from within Visual Studio I get asked for a PIN in order to connect to the device

In the phone settings I can trigger pairing so a new PIN is generated for me. But when I enter that PIN, a new dialog appears telling that the PIN was wrong:

enter image description here

If I press 'Cancel' then the deployment is interrupted with an error message:

1>Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during bootstrapping stage 'Connecting to the device '30F105C9-681E-420b-A277-7C086EAD8A4E'.':

It's strange but some days ago I was not asked for the PIN when I deployed the app. :-( So currently the only option I have is deploy via the web portal. This works but it's enormously slow :-(

Can someone tell me how to solve the problem or what PIN should I enter in order to achieve the deployment?

  • Have you tried to restart pairing system? That helped me with a similar problem. – ganchito55 Jan 10 '16 at 15:16
  • What means "restart pairing system"? I connect the device with the PC via USB. So the only ting I have to do is register the device as developer device and switch to developer mode. – llasarov Jan 11 '16 at 08:06
  • I disable device detection and then I enable it, now it shows 0 pairing devices and then I pairing my PC and now it works. Other time I switch off developer mode and then I enable it. – ganchito55 Jan 11 '16 at 10:23
  • @ganchito55 what do you mean by 'disable device detection'? – Thierry Jan 25 '16 at 13:49
  • @Thierry the first option after developer mode in my phone is "device detection" and the description is something like this: enable this feature and this phone will be visible from usb and local network. – ganchito55 Jan 25 '16 at 15:35
  • @ganchito55, unfortunately, it didn't work. Will have to leave it for now as it's not my biggest problem! Since yesterday, I can't even deploy to my device while using my USB cable!! So frustrated right now!! Thanks anyway. – Thierry Jan 25 '16 at 17:03

I had this problem today, closing visual studio and restarting IpOverUSB service fixed this issue for me.

You might want to take a look at Ricardo Pieper Question he has listed all the things he tried to do and all the things that might work.

It looks like the problem was caused by the fact that I'm developing inside a virtual machine (VMWare Fusion on Mac). After setting up the development ebvironment on a PC the deployment works fine. I can even debug the app running on the phone from inside Visual Studio.

Here's a solution which worked for me:

I had the same problem on my Macbook running VMWare Fusion and trying to debug on my Lumia 950 phone. I was nearly giving up, then I tried using the free VirtualBox and with a virtual USB 3.0 port (which requires the VB extension pack). And it worked!!

Here's my setup:

In the VM, I configured to use the USB 3.0 port, since with USB 1.x the phone device driver could not be installed by Windows 10. The VM contains Visual Studio 2015; I created a UWP JavaScript application and ran it with "Debug" on the connected Lumia device.

Had to go to the Developer options on the device. Switch back to "Windows Store Apps" option, and then back to "Developer Mode"
