[Desktop][Other] Universal App for Windows 10

Spotify should consider developing a universal app for Windows 10 so it can be used on Desktops, Phones, Tablets and on the Xbox. You already have a Windows Phone app so I'm assuming the majority of the code is already written. Essential features such as connect need to added to the app also. Having Spotify on the Windows Store for desktop would be beneficial for users who are not tech savy and only use the store to install applications. There are a couple of people I know who wanted to try Spotify out and came back to me saying they "couldn't find it on the store". Seeing as Windows 10 will be a free upgrade to both Windows 7 and 8 users it would be a great idea to look into this.

  • 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..

  • How to separate different views and parts of a single line of business(LOB) universal app for windows 8.1 with many users.

    Hello am an intermediate Windows Phone/Store Developer. Am currently in the process of implementing a LOB app that will have three different types users, an admin, a student, a teacher . Depending on how a user logs in i would like certain pages to be exposed
    to them and the rest to be hidden. The app will also store data temporally on a local db then sync regularly to an azure database(Can the recent entity framework 7 that supports store/phone apps allow code first databases or are there features still not fully
    accessible in WinRT apps)...This i believe can handle but also kindly point me out to existing implemented resources/examples i will appreciate very much.
    What am finding problematic is how to consume different app data stored by various users logged in for these different views. Will i need an asp web api is it really necessary cause i want to avoid it cause i have about three months to do it. I do not want
    to create three different apps and one ASP Web AP,  i want one single app and an api if possible, i know windows usually sandboxes apps hence app to app communication will be hard if not impossible. So my question is, is it possible to implement different
    user session management with a login (Windows Live ID) which i can abstract various parts of the app from them depending on the users login id in the app. E.g How can an admin logged in the same app as the student have access rights to certain pages in the
    app that a student will not see. How do i route different users to certain pages and can isolated storage store these persisting as a setting.
    How can i know which login id belongs to which of the three users? How do i then assign different access to different controls of the app with their id,provide custom views routes,access right,session management. I think i can do these without an ASP Web
    API is It wise? Building pages in the apps is easy but i want users to see different views of the app instead of one standard app depending on there login id, how can the NAVIGATION URI be used here. How can azure and features like active directory,azure mobile
    services. I know i have repeated the same things over and over and these might be complex for a free advise but as a windows dev these is my one stop shop. Any one with a view on how to approach these kindly show me the best directions. Thanks guys in advance.

    I suggest you have a look at this sample.
    https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/ListView-Interaction-ac044c3c. MainPage provides the framework to hold the content. At runtime, we create the Scenario collections and then bind to control. This approach can help you determine the type of users
    and provide some appropriate pages at runtime.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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
    For further assistance with your concern, we recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

  • 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:
