The steps to get this Store UI working are: 1. Add a reference to your Core PCL project 2. Change App.Xaml.cs so that it creates a 'new Setup(RootFrame)' during its OnLaunched: protected override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs args) { var rootFrame = Window.Current.Content as Frame; // Do not repeat app initialization when the Window already has content, // just ensure that the window is active if (rootFrame == null) { // Create a Frame to act as the navigation context and navigate to the first page rootFrame = new Frame(); if (args.PreviousExecutionState == ApplicationExecutionState.Terminated) { //TODO: Load state from previously suspended application } // Place the frame in the current Window Window.Current.Content = rootFrame; } if (rootFrame.Content == null) { // When the navigation stack isn't restored navigate to the first page, // configuring the new page by passing required information as a navigation // parameter var setup = new Setup(rootFrame); setup.Initialize(); var start = Cirrious.CrossCore.Mvx.Resolve(); start.Start(); } // Ensure the current window is active Window.Current.Activate(); } 3. For Windows 8 - Add a views folder and a view - xaml.cs and .xaml based on BasicPage - this will add 5 files to the Common folder. - Change the Common/LayoutAwarePage.cs inheritance to Cirrious.MvvmCross.WindowsStore.Views.MvxStorePage - Change the Common/LayoutAwarePage.cs - remove the OnNavigatedTo and OnNavigatedFrom handlers - Add some content for your Xaml - e.g. 5. For Windows 8.1 - Add a views folder and a view based on the BasicPage template - In the .xaml.cs - remove public NavigationHelper NavigationHelper and all referencing code - In the .xaml.cs - remove the OnNavigatedTo and OnNavigatedFrom handlers - Add some content for your Xaml - e.g.
