This week, Microsoft made available for download the Microsoft SharePoint SDK for Windows Phone 7.1, destined to install SharePoint client libraries and templates for the mobile operating system.

The new SDK is meant to help mobile application developers come up with software for the Windows Phone operating system.

In order to take advantage of the capabilities of the new kit, developers will need to have Windows Phone 7.1 Developer Tools installed on their machines. The company also notes that the new SDK was released with support for Windows 7.

“The SDK installs Windows Phone CSOM libraries for Windows Phone, SharePoint Auth library for Windows Phone and Windows Phone Project Templates, which can be used to build Windows Phone 7.1 Applications against SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint 2010,” Microsoft explains.
