There is no XAP file after creating a Windows phone project in Visual Studio 2013

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2013 to create a Windows Phone project. When I create it in DEBUG, I can run it in the simulator.

But I do not see any XAP file being generated. I see that it creates an EXE file.

Could you tell me how to generate a XAP file?

Thanks.

In Windows Phone 8.1, you need to create an application package. Right-click on the project and choose Save> Create Application Packages.
