Known Issue: C#/VB UWP apps do not support AnyCPU (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)
AnyCPU platform configuration is not supported for UWP applications built with C# and Visual Basic. Visual Studio 2015 RC uses .NET Native to build UWP applications. .NET Native compiles C# and Visual Basic code to native code and is therefore not CPU
agnostic.
Choose a CPU specific configuration when building a .NET application on the Universal Windows Platform.

At this time, the .NET Native compiler used by C#/VB UWP apps has limitations around generic methods that are exceeded by typical F# code. As a result F# is not supported in any way by .NET Native.
Thank you for this entry, I assume linked to my reddit entry (http://redd.it/34bk2p)
However, answer doesn't mention if there is any plan to support F# in Windows 10 UWP app.
Can I kindly ask if MSFT has any plan to support F# development for Windows 10 UWP app, please?
Thanks. -

If you install Visual Studio 2015 with the Windows 10 Mobile emulators in a virtual machine, setup will succeed but the emulators will not be available as valid debug targets.
The Windows Emulators require a physical machine that runs Windows 8.1 (x64) Professional edition or higher, and a processor that supports Client Hyper-V and Second Level Address Translation (SLAT). The emulators will not run when Visual Studio is installed
in a Virtual Machine (VM).
The emulators for Universal Windows app development work best with Windows 10. -

Cortana currently dismisses itself as soon as it loses focus. If you switch to Visual Studio when debugging a background voice command, Cortana will dismiss itself, end the connection with your app and kill the app's background task.
You can work around this issue by remotely debugging your app on a different machine. This eliminates the focus problem by allowing Cortana to remain in focus (on the remote machine) while you debug with Visual Studio (on your local machine).
Prerequisites
You have installed Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015 RC on your main development computer.
You have installed Windows 10 on a separate computer or virtual machine (Visual Studio not required).
Note: Download Windows 10 from
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1504
Terminology
Your local computer is your main development box with Visual Studio 2015 RC and your project files.
Your remote computer is a separate machine that will run your app remotely while maintaining a connection with Visual Studio on your local computer.
Step 1: Enable Remote Desktop
Ensure your remote computer can receive Remote Desktop requests:
Sign into your remote machine
Right-click the Start menu and select System
Make a note of the machine name (you will reference it often)
Click the Remote settings link
Select the Allow remote connections to this computer radio button
Save and close
Step 2: Configure your Remote Desktop connection and remote microphone
On your local machine, start Remote Desktop Connection from the Start menu
Click Show Options
On the General tab, type of the name of the remote machine
Navigate to the Local Resources tab
Click the Settings button in the Remote Audio section
Change Remote audio recording to Record from this computer. This enables the remote microphone
Hit OK and navigate back to the General tab
Click Save As and save the Remote Desktop connection to a location on your computer
Connect to the remote machine
Step 3: Install Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC on the remote machine
Sign into the remote machine
Navigate to
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2015-downloads-vs.aspx
Expand Additional Tools and look for Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC
Download and install
Configure the remote debugger as described at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t.aspx. Tip: Scroll down to “Start and configure the remote tools for the first time”
Run Remote Debugger from the start menu and keep the app running
Step 4: Enable developer mode on the remote machine
This step allows you to deploy and test apps to the remote machine. For details and alternate instructions see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn706236.aspx.
Remain signed into the remote machine
Run gpedit.msc from the start menu (this is the Local Group Policy editor)
Ignore the two popup error messages that will appear immediately
Use the tree view on the left side to navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> App Package Deployment
Double-click and enable Allow all trusted apps to install
Double-click and enable Allows development of Windows Store applications and installing them directly from an IDE
Step 5: Enable Cortana debugging on the remote machine
This step disables the 5-second timeout when running a background task.
Remain signed into the remote machine
Run Debuggable Package Manager from the start menu
Copy/paste the following line exactly and hit enter: $a=Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.Cortana"}
Copy/paste the following line exactly and hit enter: Enable-AppxDebug $a
Type exit and hit enter to close the window
Step 6: Confirm you can connect to the remote machine with Visual Studio
Sign into the local machine and start Visual Studio
Click the Debug -> Attach to process menu (a project does not have to be open)
Type the name of the remote machine and hit enter
Provide your credentials (if using a Microsoft account, type your email display name and password, ignoring the domain text)
The connection is successful if you see a list of processes
Tip: If you experience a problem, make sure the Remote Debugger app is running on the remote machine
Step 7: Configure remote debugging in your Visual Studio project
Open your project in Visual Studio on the local machine
Open the project properties (e.g., right-click the project in the solution explorer and select
Properties)
Navigate to the Debug section
Select Remote Machine for the target device
Type the name of the remote machine
Close settings
If necessary, on the Visual Studio toolbar select Remote Machine
If necessary, switch to x86 or x64 depending on the remote architecture
Run
If prompted, enter your credentials
Switch to the remote machine over Remote Desktop and confirm the app shows up
Sometimes it will not show up during the first run; stop and restart
Set a breakpoint and confirm the debugger on the local machine is triggered
You should now be able to debug Cortana voice commands, including background commands. -
With the current release of Windows 10 Insider Preview, you cannot enable developer mode using the System Setting Developer Mode control. This feature will be enabled in a future release of Windows 10.
Editing for clarification:
If you try to Developer unlock your Windows 10 system by going to (Search) Settings --> Update & Recovery --> For Developers, you will notice that the "Settings" window closes. You cannot set these Settings through the UI in the current
Build due to the known issue.

Voice command definitions are not removed from Cortana's cache when an app is uninstalled. This may cause conflicts between two apps that share the same voice commands.
This issue should not impact your ability to reinstall and test the same application. However, you must reinstall the OS in order to reset the cache in cases where you are seeing conflicts between different apps.

If you are using a serializer such as Json.NET, and use a custom SerializationBinder to handle type resolution, on x64 "Release" builds with .NET Native (C#/VB UWP) you will encounter corrupt parameters.
This code, if you pass it "assembly" and "type", will throw on Retail builds but work on Debug (CoreCLR) builds.
class MySerializer : SerializationBinder
public override Type BindToType(string assemblyName, string typeName)
if (typeName != "type") throw new Exception("type");
if (assemblyName != "assembly") throw new Exception("assembly");
return null;Add System.Runtime.CompilerServices.MethodImplAttribute to your BindToType method:
class MySerializer : SerializationBinder
[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoOptimization)]
public override Type BindToType(string assemblyName, string typeName)
if (typeName != "type") throw new Exception("type");
if (assemblyName != "assembly") throw new Exception("assembly");
return null; -
If you have a type nested inside of a type deriving from a WinRT type, and the nested type is marked Serializable (such as with [DataContract]), your build will fail.
This code will cause this failure.
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
public MainPage()
this.InitializeComponent();
var d = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(MyData));
[DataContract]class MyData { }Avoid serializable types nested inside of WinRT types.

The Visual Studio Tools for Universal Windows Apps requires Windows 10 build 10074 or later. If you use an earlier build of Windows 10, you will see a notification in Visual Studio, the XAML designer will not be available, and you will get the following
error when deploying apps to your local machine:
Error : DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. Deployment Register operation with target volume C: on Package
<package ID> from: (<path_to_AppxManifest.xml>) failed with error 0x80073CFD. See
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues. (0x80073cfd)To work around this issue, either
Use Windows 8.1 and deploy to the Windows Mobile Emulator
Or, update your computer from an earlier Windows 10 flight to build 10074 or later. To do this,
in Settings, open the Update & security section, and select the
Windows Update tab. Then click Check for updates. -
When getting audio feedback from Cortana on a device with multiple playback endpoints (e.g., a device with a headset and an internal speaker), the playback may occur on the incorrect device. For example, Cortana may not send audio to the default device
after the default has been changed in the control panel.There is no workaround for this issue.
-
Cortana may not speak your name when tapping the "Hear how I'll say it" button when setting up your name for the first time or when changing your name in the settings panel.
There is no workaround for this issue. However, you can still complete the process of setting or changing your name.
