Client app for Windows 8.1/10

Hi all, for a while I have been working with a client application for Windows Phone 8.1, however, I noticed that there is a difference between coding the parts to binding data. I noticed that the WebClient I use in Windows Phone is not supported on Windows
8.1. So what is an alternative? Any help is appreciated
On a side note: Does anyone know of any other UI extensions for Windows 8.1 other than Telerik Primitives?

Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient is the recommended web client API on both Windows and Windows Phone.

Hi,
The app for Windows phone is a BETA version. In my case (also a Nokia) it can find my printer but when sending something to printer, printer won't print. Again, it's only a BETA version.

Hi Gopal,
I would also suggest you to try the solution from this post:

Start the video capture first and then start the torch control.

App for Windows 8 are really bad

The apps Microsoft made for Skype are really bad.
Any chance for a update so you have some chance of getting to things like call and chat and make it more clear who are online.
Out of a lot of bad apps for windows 8 this take the cake!!

Is there a reason "Elaine" (http://community.skype.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88058) had to edit/moderate EVERY one of the posts here?
This thread started some time ago, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the word "sucks" was replaced with "are really bad" in the last 12 hours.
The only reason I bring this up is because this is censorship and let me tell you Elaine that it is NOT helping Microsoft/Skype's case here!
If something SUCKS it means it IS REALLY BAD. The word "sucks" is VERY well known throughout the english speaking world to mean this. Any moderation on the grounds that the moderation was done "In deference to international sensibilities" is ridiculous! This stinks of corporate censorship!
Rather than censor everyone's comments, how about you (the company) just fix the issues and let us know they are fixed OR if fixing them isn't going to happen in the near future at least let us know that you're working on it!
I have not seen even one official comment by Skype or Microsoft staff regarding this issue! NOT ONE! That implies to me that there is something seriously wrong and its almost definitley not going to be fixed any time soon!
Perhaps after all these years of being a happy customer it is time to start looking at moving away from Skype to another service...

An app for Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 does not exist. I have asked Verizon about this a number of times and have been ignored. The only positive of this is that the Android and IOS apps are all buggy, so it's highly likely that we're only missing out on another buggy app for the Windows platforms.

Telstra Air App For Windows 8.1 Phone

When will Telstra be providing an Air App for WIndows 8.1 phone?

I, for one, support this request - especially with the universal app situation and the developer tools available to help convert iOS and Android code to Windows, there really shouldn't be much blocking this app being released. By all means say you're not going to write a Windows Phone 8.1 app from scratch, but how about a Windows 10 Mobile universal app? This would run not only on phones, but also 3G/4G enabled Windows tablets. If your developers are not aware of these tools, please get them to take a look at developer.windows.com to be enlightened! Here's a link to the actual iOS and Android 'bridges' that can help migrate an app easily: https://developer.windows.com/en-us/uwp-bridges

Playmemories app for Windows phone

I have recently bought the HDR-AS100VR action cam, and has desperately beeb looking for the Playmemories app for my also recently acquired Windows phone. This however seems futile. I can find several post in here and others on the internet dating back from 2013 discussing why this app is not available for Windows smartphones. Sony (and Microsoft) please make an effort to help your loyal customers and see to it that this app is made available ASAP instead of pushing them into using other devices, which will be the result id nothing happens.

Hi Kasper,
The PlayMemories Mobile app is only available in iOS and Android devices. It is also available for Vaio running Windows 8 and 8.1. We understand that you'd want to control the camera or send pictures to your mobile device. We will take not of this and forward it to the engineering department for future product developments.
Please refer to this other thread for suggestions on how to control the camera in a Windows phone. http://community.sony.com/t5/Cybershot-Cameras/Playmemories-app-for-Windows-phone/td-p/167875/highlight/true/page/8

Microsoft confirms: Skype won't be a universal app for Windows 10

ZDNet got a Microsoft rep to answer some questions about Windows 10 and Skype. Here's the quick summary of what Microsoft revealed during that Q&A:"The take-aways: Microsoft isn't planning to redo its Modern Skype app as a Universal Windows app, but instead is replacing that Modern Skype app with three separate but related Universal communications apps. Those Messaging, Phone and Video apps with Skype "built in" won't be part of Windows 10 when it starts rolling out on July 29; they will be available "later this year." Windows users who prefer using the integrated Skype app will be able to use the Desktop Skype app. These new communications apps won't be coming to Windows 7, Windows 8.x or Windows Phone 8.x."So far, Microsoft has not announced when the preview version of Messaging, Phone and Video apps for Windows 10 will be released to Windows Insider Members. Source: ZDNet

Yes! Please make the app universal and add more features that are present with IOS..

Air standalone app for Windows

Hi,
Is it possible to compile an Air standalone (portable) app for Windows, where all files are in only one folder except for the launcher icon?
-folder (.swf, app icons...)
app launcher
Any feedback welcome

Directly from Adobe Air - you can't. But you can do this via thirdparty apps.
I use advanced virtualization tool that pack all files into single EXE. It's name Spoon Studio.
In your case I can help you.
1) Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/x846rdp3fryuos2/MyApplication.exe file and rename as you want.
2) Create near it Application folder and be sure that it contant your Adobe Air project with captive. Your project must have App.exe file.
Main logic is next... When you execute my MyApplication.exe - it open Application\App.exe and execute it. If you need update my exe icon - you can do this for free. Download free Resource Hacker and update icons manually.
Also you can update fields if you need:

Open Question: question to those who comment about the lack of apps for Windows Phone 8

We have read every Lumia review and we are listening. An open question to those who comment about the lack of apps for Windows Phone 8.Tell us which apps you miss? Nokia/MSFT Customer Care

The major apps that are missing are Banking Apps. There are a few, but major banks like Regions Bank, Capital One Bank, are nowhere to be found for Windows Phone. Microsoft should be pursuing these banks to develop apps for the platform. Maybe bribe them with free software or tech support or something. Also some of the dating apps like Grindr for the gay community, Blender for the straight community, are lacking as well. Perhaps Microsoft could assist them in developing the "unified" app for both Windows and Windows Phone?
In fact, Microsoft would do well to begin a "Developer Assistance Program" where developers could (for a small fee) contact the DAP Center and get assistance with issues creating apps for the Windows Platform. If developers know they have a source to go for assistance, they may be more inclinded to develop better apps.
