Are sideloading keys required to sideload Apps to domain joined OEM/retail Windows 8.1 Pro devices?

Hello,
I want to sideload a Microsoft Store App to a Lenovo Thinkpad 2 device. The device has an OEM / retail version of Windows 8.1 Pro installed and is part of an active directory domain network.
With this preconditions and according to announcements by Microsoft, it seems to be possible since May 2014 to deploy Apps directly to these devices. Without the need to buy a sideloading key.
To check this, I have generated an code signing certificate with makecert/Pvk2Pfx and then I followed the instructions in this
blog article.
Everything went fine, only the actual deployment with add-appxPackage didn't work. The installation aborts with the error message, that a developer or sideloading license is required, as no license or sideloading policy can be applied.
Can anybody in this forum give me some advice to these questions:
1. Does the new sideload licensing model for May 2014 also applies to OEM/retail versions of Windows 8.1, or is is volume licensing required?
2. Has anybody managed to successfully sideload an App to a OEM / retail Windows 8.1 Pro device?
3. At the moment I don't have access to the domain network. I can login with a domain user locally but changes to the local group policies and to the local certificate stores can't be confirmed by the domain controller. I'm not an administrator, so might this
be a source of error?
Thanks
Tobias

Hello Tobias,
Please check if you can normally sideload Windows Store App in other domain-joined OEM computer.
About the OEM issue, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer.

What are the key requirements to write a recursive cte?

what are the key requirements to write a recursive cte?
when we will go for a recursive cte.

A common table expression (CTE) can be thought of as a temporary result set that is defined within the execution scope of a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or CREATE VIEW statement. A CTE is similar to a derived table in that it is not stored as an
object and lasts only for the duration of the query. Unlike a derived table, a CTE can be self-referencing and can be referenced multiple times in the same query.
A CTE can be used to:
Create a recursive query. For more information, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186243%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
Substitute for a view when the general use of a view is not required; that is, you do not have to store the definition in metadata.
Enable grouping by a column that is derived from a scalar subselect, or a function that is either not deterministic or has external access.
Reference the resulting table multiple times in the same statement.

What are the minimum requirements for compiling apps for iOS7?

Hi, guys.
I currently have a computer with XCode 4.6.3 and Mac OS X (v10.7.5).
Is this enough to compile apps for the AppStore for iOS 7?
What are the minimum requirements for compiling these apps? XCode version or both XCode and OS X versions?
Thanks in advance,

OK, actually this site has a better explanation of the prerequisites:

Sideloading on domain joined Windows 8.1 Professional Update Tablets

Hi folks,
first, I want to apologize for my bad English. I'm out of practice since several years and Google Translator is not the best assistance.
We are developing a Windows 8 LOB App for our customer. This App shall only be available for the employees of this customer. Therefore, releasing the App in the Windows Store is not an option.
As far as I understand the announcements by Microsoft, it is now possible to sideload Windows Store Apps on devices where Windows 8.1 Pro Update is installed. The requirements are the app has to be signed, the group policy "Allow all trusted apps to install"
has to be enabled and the devices must be part of a domain. A sideloading key is not required anymore.
At the moment I try to sideload an app to an Windows 8.1 Pro lenovo tablet. The System is up to date and the device is part of an AD-Domain.
To sideload the app, I've done the following:
-> First I deleted the developer license from my testing device.
-> Then I've created a code signing certificate with mkcert and Pvk2Pfx according to.
-> Creating and signing the App package with Visual Studio 2013 worked without problems.
-> I activated the local GP "Allow all trusted apps to install" and installed the certificate under the local machine\Trusted Root Certification Authority certificate store.
But when I try to install the app with Add-AppPackage, the process abort with an error. The error message says, that a developer license or a sideloading key is required.
What do I wrong? Has someone managed to sideload an App to a domain joined Windows 8.1 Pro device and can give me some advice?
Many thanks in advance.
Tobias

Hello,
though, I have not updated this thread in the last days, I'm still not sure, whether sideloading keys are necessary to successfully sideload apps to domain joined Windows 8.1 Pro devices.
To make sure that I have got you right: Might someone confirm to me, that even for domain joined devices with Windows 8.1 Pro Update installed, sideloading keys are necessary, because these devices are only ready to, but not yet enabled for sideloading.
If no sideloading keys are necessary, is it required, for successful sideloading, that the devices are logged into the domain network and connected with the domain controller, for a successful deployment? My test device is domain joined but at the moment it
is not logged into that domain network.
Thanks.
Tobias
I'm unable to confirm myself, since I don't use Pro edition in my organisation (we use Enterprise edition because we purchased that in our agreement).
It might be possible, that the MSFT statements for Pro (does not require sideloading key), might only be functional when using the Volume Licensing channel product for Pro. i.e. maybe the OEM channel and Retail channel of Pro might not be enabled for sideloading?
It sounds like you are using an OEM or Retail channel Pro (i.e. that OS shipped on the Lenovo device).
This is my observation from your symptoms. I'm not sure how to validate that, without trying each case.
It may be necessary to raise a support call with MSFT to validate that.

Sideloading not working on domain joined enterprise devices

Hi,
I wanted to know if sideloading has any limitations that an OMA DM agent that it won't be able to install an app through sideloading if the tablet is domain joined?
We are seeing this on enterprise edition tablets which are domain joined and enrolled to the an MDM (mobile device management) server that the OMA DM agent cannot install a sideloaded app.
We'd highly appreciate some pointers.
Thanks,
D

Hi,
Sorry for my dilatory reply. According to the following description:
Windows 8.1 supports three types of user accounts on a device: Local Accounts, Microsoft Accounts and
Domain Joined Accounts. The OMA-DM agent is disabled when a device is domain joined which means
the management service cannot set password policy for a domain joined account. Windows 8.1 RT and
Windows 8.1 Home SKUs cannot be domain joined.
It seems like OMA-DM agent doesn't support domain joined of Windows 8.1 device.

LoB Sideload Requirements on Windows 8.1 Pro

Hi All,
According to the documentation on Sideloading Requirements for LoB apps, it mentioned that a certain Group Policy needs to be enabled on domain-joined devices.
The company for which we are developing the app for, has the device connected to their AD. However, their AD schema is not at the correct functional level to push out Group Policies to domain-joined devices.
The Group Policy Allow all trusted apps to install was enabled using the Local Group Policy Editor. I tried enabling the
Allow development of Windows Store apps without installing a developer license using the same. But, while installing the app package, it still asks me to 'Acquire a developer license'.
Am I missing something here? I read elsewhere, that the certificate which was used to sign the app, should also be made available on the device. If so, where should I store this certificate on the device?
The app was developed using Visual Studio (C#).
Your input would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
AB

Hello Diramoh,
Thank you for the feedback.
Please help me understand this. It seems to me that irrespective of whether a device is domain-joined, it needs a Sideloading Product Key (to not go through Windows Store for app distribution)?
Would the following be applicable for us to sideload our app:
1) Configure PC to enable Sideloading. In case of domain-joined devices, this is enabled (only if it is pushed as an Enterprise Group Policy).
In our case, since the AD schema is not up to date; this was done using Local Group Policy Editor.
2) Configure PCs for developing Windows Store Apps:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852635.aspx#BKMK_DeveloperLicense
The above link asks us to enable another Group Policy - Allow development of Windows Store apps without installing a developer license.
In our case, again, this was done using Local Group Policy Editor.
3) Have Sideloading Product Keys.
From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852635.aspx#SideloadingRequirements, for domain-joined devices, it does not mention that you need sideloading product keys.
This is confusing.
4) Unknown factor - Is there anything extra to be enabled in the code itself? While signing the App Package, are there extra steps that need to be taken?
I appreciate your help with this.
Thank you,
AB

Sideload key with Enterprise

Question,
My understanding is that Windows Enterprise 8.1 is able to sideload apps without the use of a sideloading key while domain-joined.
If we have Windows Enterprise 8.1 that IS NOT domain-joined, can we use a sideloading key to sideload apps or is the domain-requirement fundamental to sideloading?
I really don't want to have to go downgrade all these desktops to Pro just to sideload with a key. We are not using any AD system since we employ Azure Active Directory Services and Microsoft Account.

There are two methods for running a Sideloaded App:
Join a domain. This method is only supported for the Windows 8 Enterprise operating system;
Activate a sideloading key. This method is supported for Windows 8 Pro or Windows 8 Enterprise or Windows RT running on a device that is not domain joined. Activate a sideloading product key for each device.

Sideload keys for windows rt surface LOB deployment

Hi, we are a small group and are looking to internally deploy a small number of LOB apps within our company to windows RT surface tablets. We only need about 5-10 sideload keys. Microsoft said that resellers can sell them in small packs (say 10), but
that Microsoft only sells them in 100 packs. We are small and only need about 10. Does anyone know of a reseller who does this.
Thanks.

Also starting May 1, 2014, other customers who want to enable sideloading will be able to purchase an Enterprise Sideloading key for $100 through the Open License program.
An unlimited number of devices can be enabled for sideloading using this key.

Samsung saying we are required to submit app that was developed using Samsung SDK after July1, 2014 - End of Air for Samsung?

I just got an email from Samsungs Seller office saying:
1. When submitting new app in Seller Office, you are required to submit app that was developed using Samsung SDK.
Samsung SDKs are the tools that help sellers to make apps using Samsung device-specialized functions such as S Pen, Finger Print, Gesture, Motion and more. Please visit SAMSUNG DEVELOPERS (http://developer.samsung.com/) to download Samsung SDKs and obtain additional information.
In case of existing apps registered in Seller Office, the apps can be updated without using Samsung SDK.
2. Samsung Seller membership will be terminated for those who registered before February 20, 2014 (GMT +09:00), but have not submitted any apps to Samsung Apps Seller Office. (Membership termination date : June 30, 201
Does this mean we can no longer submit AIR based apps???

For what it’s worth, we have submitted three apps to Samsung, and the combined total of the three for the last month is about half of the downloads for just the worst of the three in iTunes. So, no great loss to not submit to Samsung.
It will affect friends of mine though, who are doing apps in conjunction with Samsung themselves. I imagine they will need to continue to submit to the Samsung store!

Key photos in photo app are changed to the first photo in album in iOS 5

why did apple changed the key photos in photo app on iOS 5??? I mean it was custom on iOS 4 but now it is the first photo in your album??? Is it possible to fix this???

When do my photos upload to Photo Stream?
When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream.
I copied that from this website
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Notice it states all NEW photos. But like I said, I'm not that sure about it. I don't use Photo Stream, just based on what I am reading.
I could be misinterpreting what this means.
