Build for WP8 device Fails - Cannot find Telerik.Windows.Cloud when building for ARM

[Simon]

Went to try and test my app on a device but I cannot even build it.

When I switch to device build mode (which for WP8 is ARM) the compiler tells me the ".Cloud" namespace is unknown.

Any ideas?

I think I found the answer and it appears there is a bug in the project template.

There are two references to x86 for the cloud DLL and only one for the synchronisation framework (checked the deploy folder and the ARM versions do exist:

    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Controls.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Windows.Controls.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Everlive.Sdk" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'ARM' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\ARM\Telerik.Everlive.Sdk.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Everlive.Sdk" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Everlive.Sdk.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Core.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Windows.Core.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Data.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Windows.Synchronization.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Sqlite" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'ARM' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\ARM\Sqlite.winmd</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Sqlite" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Sqlite.winmd</HintPath>
    </Reference>

So I just need to update the references in the .csproj file to select the ARM varients as follows

    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Core.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Windows.Core.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Data.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Windows.Synchronization.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Controls.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Windows.Controls.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Core.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'ARM' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\ARM\Telerik.Windows.Core.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Data.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'ARM' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\ARM\Telerik.Windows.Synchronization.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Windows.Controls.Cloud" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'ARM' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\ARM\Telerik.Windows.Controls.Cloud.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Everlive.Sdk" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'ARM' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\ARM\Telerik.Everlive.Sdk.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Telerik.Everlive.Sdk" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Telerik.Everlive.Sdk.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Sqlite" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'ARM' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\ARM\Sqlite.winmd</HintPath>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Sqlite" Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x86' ">
      <HintPath>$(TelerikWP8Dir)\Binaries\WindowsPhone\x86\Sqlite.winmd</HintPath>

Just tested and all working now (phew)
