How do I change a Windows Phone 8 app?

I originally made an app for WP7, and then decided to do a complete overhaul of the UI and code that came out when WP8 came out, so I skipped the old app and made a new one specifically for the newest platform, however I now want to "undo" it back to target older audiences too.

I've had several tries but it seems like a tedious task, is there an easy way to do this?

Thank.

No, unfortunately you cannot downgrade a Windows Phone 8 project to Windows Phone 7. You can only upgrade a Windows Phone 7 project to a Phone 8 window.

As per the above answer, there is no automated way to check in projects; however, I usually isolate as much logic as I can into a Windows Phone class library that can be used for both Windows Phone 7 and 8 projects. So my advice is to copy whatever you can (virtual machines, services, etc.) into a separate class project, set up a new Windows Phone 7 project and use your WP8 views and remove any incompatible bits like the new one control over maps and link to a shared library between both platforms.
