Posted on 13 April 2014

Joe Belfiore of Microsoft has already confirmed that Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview will be available for download starting early next week, but it won’t have lock screen theming application, it has been confirmed.

In a question posted on Twitter on whether WP 8.1 Developer Preview will include the lock screen theming pack or not, Belfiore revealed that the developer preview version won’t be having the theming app and it will be released on a later date.

“Dev preview will NOT include the lock screen theming app. That will come later. I DO NOT KNOW the date. :)” tweeted Belfiore.

Those who are waiting for the APIs for the lock screen live theme pack will be required to wait a little longer until it is made available by Microsoft.

Developers – in fact anyone with a Studio App account – will be able to download Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview on the day it is released. If you want to get hold on a copy of your own you can head on to our piece here to know how.
