I’m currently working on a Windows Phone 8 project that requires two devices. Those devices talk to each other through a SignalR service. Thanks to Hyper-V I’m able to test/debug this project on two instances of the Windows Phone 8 emulator (I usually pick the WVGA and WVGA 512MB versions). What I used to do is deploy the XAP to one emulator and debug it on the second. I need to do this every time I change the app, I got bored of doing this manually so it was about time to get this automated.

Since Visual Studio 2012 builds the app everytime its codebase changes I can use the post-build script to do this, after all the app should only install itself on both emulators when it’s changed (I did spent time looking for a solution to let the script run every time I hit the debug button but it looks like there’s no way to do this in VS2012).
