DEP0001 : Unexpected Error: -1988945906 while deploying Windows UWP app to phone
I've experienced the same problem after updating Visual Studio community to Update 2. Typing in CMD (under admin rights) the following command solved my issue:
net start IpOverUsbSvcThanks to Agrgg for a good tip ;)
This kind of error happens very randomly and usually it means there was an issue during the deployment of the app. Things to check:
- Developer mode is correctly enabled on phone
- Uninstall the app from phone, rebuild solution and then try debug again
- Check that the architecture for all projects is set accordingly (ARM for debugging on real device)
- Sometimes the VS debugger hangs up, so closing VS and kill from Task Manager all VS processes that are eventually running and restart VS may also help.
I had the same error with deploying onto Windows Phone 8.1 device. In my case the problem was in Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc) service, which wasn't running. The deployment error disappeared after I'd started the service manually.
