To install xap:

  1. you have to register as windows phone developer here
  2. Now connect the phone to computer with a data cable. Go to this location C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and run Windows Phone Developer Registration shortcut. You need to provide your microsoft account details to unlock the phone for debugging.
  3. Now run the Application Deployment shortcut from the same location and you'll be able to install the app to windows phone ( you can do this with visual studio also).

according to phoneGap also you need the windows phone sdk.
