How to publish Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app to Windows Phone store?

I created Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app, and I can't to upload it into WP store. I want to use Create
App Packages tool in Visual Studio 2013 Professional, but it's impossible for Silverlight apps. I read many guides
on dev.windows.com. It's necessary to upload only .appx, .appxbundleor .appxupload files,
but I have .xap file
only in Bin\ARM\Release folder.
May anyone help me?

Appx packages are only for Windows Runtime apps. Windows Phone Silverlight apps use xap files. The Windows Phone Store will accept either xap (for Silverlight) or appx (for Runtime) apps.
I discussed this in more detail in my blog entry: Why can’t I create an app package? Windows Phone Xap vs. Appx

How to play live streaming in windows phone 8.1 silverlight app?

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8.1 silverlight app. In my I want to show live streaming youtube channel , I think it is not possible,
Actually that youtube channel is a television channel , I want to stream that live tv in my app.(I tried to load youtube channel in webbrowser in iframe tag but it is not opening)
Anybody help me how to play live tv or live streaming in my app,
Thanks..

Hello,
You will likely need to write a custom
MediaStreamSource that can access the media stream and parse it. Windows Phone supports h.264 natively and as long as the site serves up a media stream that contains h.264 frames you can parse it and have our built in decoder decode and display it. You
will need to have intimate knowledge of the streaming protocol used by the website that you are trying to play. You must also make sure that the website is not using protected content. IANAL so I would recommend that you have your local law professional
(lawyer) review the licensing of the website that you are attempting to connect to and stream from before continuing your development. Your lawyer can make sure make sure their licensing allows you to do this.
I hope this helps,

Hi Suresh.M
As I can see a similar question on the Windows Phone Streaming Media discussion:
https://phonesm.codeplex.com/discussions/545737
You may need check into the call stack and find out what is the root cause, for instance if there any chance that your phone cannot reach to the video address, and did you enable some network capabilities, etc.

My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone

My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone?

If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

Some apps crash. If they do, try this, in order.
1. Double click your home button and put your finger on any app and hold for a second. Then delete that app. You're not deleting the app from your phone, so don't worry. Then try opening the app again.
2. If that doesn't work, hold your sleep+home buttons for 10 seconds and don't let go. Ignore the power off message. Then try again.
3. If that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it. (This will work most of the time)
4. If that doesn't work, download the app on iTunes on your computer and sync it from there.
5. If that doesn't work, wait for an update by the developers.

How to fix the positions of two Mail.app viewer windows on the screen?

I use Mail.app as my main IMAP Mail application. I work with two Mail viewer windows which I position on the screen so that the upper window shows the Inbox and the lower window the Send-box. The windows are aligned to each other and do not overlap. Fine.
But when I quit Mail.app and open the program again, the windows have forgotten their postions. They "jump" to a new location on the screen. This is in contrast to all other applications I use. Another bad example of window managment is the Mail.app-Preferences window which also does not stick to a given position.
Is this a (known?) bug or does it only happen on my Macs? (two: one in the office, one at home, both running 10.4.6)

I guess the difference is that my description text is longer.
Try this text for a new rule:
"From: blacklisted senders 1 - move to SPAM-blacklisted-addresses"
When you want to see this text completely with the default font, you will need to enlarge the Preferences window for "Rules". After that, click to "Signatures": the window stays at the enlarged width. Then click on any of the other areas in Preferences, and the window goes back to the "normal" width. When you then click on either "Signatures" or "Rules", the Preferences window will stay at the "normal" width (resulting in a truncated display of the rule description text).
Also: when you have moved the Preferences window to a position not covered by a (large) viewer window to access it with a mouse click, close the window and re-open Preferences, it is back to a position covered by the viewer window. Again not accessible when the viewer window is the front-most Mail.app window. BTW: the "Activity viewer" window does a better job in sticking to a fix position.

How can I back up my contacts and apps to Windows 7 if my iPhone has been previously sync'd to a Mac?

I have always used my iBook G4 to sync and backup my iPhone 3GS, until the screen went wrong on my Mac.
I managed to salvage the songs off the mac by turning it into a mass storage device (holding T on startup), and I'm currnetly using a Windows 7 laptop whilst saving up for a new Mac.
I'm trying to back up all my contacts and apps to iTunes but as it was initially sync'd to a mac, it is saying that all my apps, contacts etc etc will be lost!
Is there any way to download my apps and contacts (all contents of my iPhone really) to iTunes on Windows if it was originally run via a Mac?
I'm due for an upgrade to the iPhone 4 on Friday and I'd like to get all my stuff backed up before then please!
Can anyone help?

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
Then back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

How to publish SCORM package from Adobe captivate app packager?

I have added HTML animation in captivate project using App packager. Now I want to publish it as a SCORM package. I didn't find any option to publish as SCORM package in App packager. Is there any way to do so?

Hi Vikram and Lilybiri,
Thanks for your responses :-)
I'm working on Windows 8.1... I think that I may have found the issue... I was saving the file in a project directory rather than the default My Captivate Projects folder...
Perhaps Captivate was struggling to find resources it needed?
It hasn't crashed for a while now, though it is struggling - I'm working with a 54 slide PPT presentation that is linked and it takes a very long time to interact.
Sometimes it says that I've removed slides, which I haven't?
Best,
Christy.

How do I upgrade my Windows Phone Silverlight/SQL CE app to Windows 10?

I have currently a Silverlight app in Windows Phone Store which uses SQL CE database. Data stored in database is very essential and users may not loose it in any situation or they stop using the app.
I know I could in theory upgrade my Silverlight app to use SQLite, then wait for 6-12 months to be sure that all users have upgraded into this SQLite version and only after that publish my Windows 10 version of the app. But I really would not like to do
that because waiting for 6-12 months is too long. My app is used maybe 1-2 times a month by an average user, that's why I think minimum of 6-12 months wait time would be necessary.
I believe many developers have the same issue.
Is any of these options possible:
1. Silverlight is still in Windows 10 so the code for reading SQL CE databases still exists there. So Microsoft could easily implement in Windows 10 APIs an utility function something like ExportSqlCeDatabase(DataContext context, string outputFolder)
which would export all tables in a database to CSV files. Then in my Windows 10 app I could import data from those CSV files into my new SQLite database.
2. Can I prevent automatic application upgrade from a too old Silverlight app to Windows 10 version? Upgrade should be allowed only if user has first installed the Silverlight upgrade which already uses SQLite database. If an automatic upgrade is performed
from a too old Silverlight version still using the SQL CE database, all data is lost.
3. Can Silverlight app access files of another Windows Runtime app (from same publisher) in Windows 10? If this is possible, I could then implement a separate utility application using Silverlight which upgrades the old SQL CE database to SQLite in
the actual Windows Runtime app by accessing its files (read+write access to other app's files needed). This option would be the worst but better than nothing.

Take a look at Sam Jawaran's Build session
Moving to the Universal Windows Platform: Porting an App from Windows 8.1 XAML or Windows Phone Silverlight to Windows 10 tomorrow morning (and available recorded later).
I don't believe there's a clean way to read the SQL CE database once the app is upgraded to a Windows Runtime app. The best is probably to upgrade your app to convert from SQLCE to SQLite in Silverlight ASAP. That will give some time for customers
to run it and update their databases before Windows 10 ships and you publish the Windows 10 version of your app.

Basically you are asking as how to port silverlight to Xaml (RT). Go one by one converting each API from silverlight to XAML, like IsolatedStorage isn't there in RT, so look for its alternative etc.

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.
