I recently published my first wp-app at dev.windows.com. Similarly to this post, Can't find my recently deployed windows app in the store , I can get to the app's store page via the link shown at my Dashboard,
http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=d8ecb640-6493-4b38-b3d3-5206c8702503 , but not by using the store's search function. It doesn't even return my app if I just give it my app's name.
The submission got accepted 5 days ago and the link above worked 4 days ago.

Edit: I talked to the dev support before posting, who didnt seem to be helpful. However earlier this morning i got a mail from the Windows Store Team, telling me, that they included it for search. Thanks for your answeres :)
I see your app in results from a search by the name.
There are many factors that can affect this though: what device you're searching on; the OS version of that device; the country your searching in (regional settings); and more.
Unfortunately there's also a long held criticism of the Windows store in that their search algorithm doesn't weight app name high enough such that a search by an apps name may lead to it not appearing on the first page of results.

I have a chrome extension, and I am creating a website for it, that has info, and a way to test it. I would like to show the number of users currently, but have found no way to do this. It doesn't have to update every day, but if it updated weekly that would be great!
Also- I don't care if it is by a outside company rather than chrome itself. all that matters is that it works.
I am planning to show something similar on my extension's site so I have googled around a bit recently. I found a repo (https://github.com/petasittek/chrome-web-store-stats) that parses information about extensions in the Chrome Web Store. It could be useful for you. I think I will end up just parsing the Webstore page for the user numbers everyday in save it to a database. My extension is also available for Firefox and I will do the same there then aggregate the results.
We're trying to work out how to resolve this issue, the current issue we have is our extension works on a unlimited amount of websites 1 of the features is a time & screenshot monitor so employer can track freelancers work other feature is ability to highlight text on any site and run a amazon search for the highlighted text for example.
We are always updating and any issues got fixed within 24-48 hours now with this happening every time we have to wait 1-3 weeks for a review according to google devs.
If we change the manifest to specific websites only then 99% of the time our extensions not going to work on all the other sites not listed. Can we do something else?
IF ANYONE HAS A SOLUTION OF WHAT WE CAN CHANGE TO MAKE THIS WORK I'M ALL EARS!
I want to use Cortana on a Raspberry Pi to answer questions and also control lights.
I looked the Cortana API docs but it seems only works to create new Cortana commands, but also I want the opposite thing: to get speech responses for user questions.
Is it possible? Were can I find code examples for that?
Cortana determines the intent of speech input and executes a function of your choice based on key words. It is up to you to execute a function using the incoming text to formulating responses.
There are currently several open research projects around this, however nothing production to my knowledge as of today.
Project Teddy is one such project, which will be open sourced on https://github.com/drcrook1 in 2 weeks, which touches this particular problem. Details on project teddy can be found here: http://indiedevspot.com/2015/08/21/sfl-emerging-tech-group-project-teddy-talk/
Another possible option is to use LUIS, which resides within project oxford https://www.projectoxford.ai/
As of today there is still a fair amount of code you will need to write for this type of functionality.
I've seen the posts about requiring a signing code in order to access location functionality in BlackBerry (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2876050/blackberry-location-api-not-working-correctly) but is this required even for a website? I too am getting 0 for both latitude and longitude... but signing codes appear to be for native apps, not websites. I would really appreciate any tips. Thanks!
The location API does not need code signing in order to access, but location data is considered priviledged and the application will need user permission to access it. There is also a system to allow the user to authorize websites to access location data but I`m not very familiar with it.
I talked to my boss who actually uses JS access to the blackberry location. He just followed the documentation here. Though he did say that before I upgraded him to a 9000 running OS 5.0 it was a bit hit and miss. The only other advice he had was it is slow and you have to wait for it.
Is there a way to get a user's achievements list from Xbox without dealing with screen scraping etc.?
How do sites like http://www.trueachievements.com do it? (they're definitely not screen scraping as they do not have my Live ID credentials...)
I know there's the Xbox LIVE Community Developer Program (XCDP) that provides some API but they do not provide achievements information as far as I can tell (links below)
http://duncanmackenzie.net/Blog/put-up-a-rest-api-for-xbox-gamertag-data
http://file-pasta.com/file/XML_Feeds.pdf
If you want this information you can check out my new site https://xboxapi.com.
Again if your profile is public then you can see friends, games and achievements. This has taken me over a year (on and off) to code and is now in public beta. To date it has served nearly 2,000 requests and growing. I am still working on optimising this script and it should only get better in time.
I currently have an API request limit setup for 120 requests per hour per IP.
Lets hope there are no major updates to xbox.com any time soon.
It says at the bottom of the TrueAchievements website that they are a member of the Xbox LIVE Community Developer Program. That leads me to believe that the XCDP does give information about achievements. Duncan Mackenzie's API for xbox worked for me for a little while, but then his web service seemed to go offline. Duncan also says that his web service will not be returning sadly. I can't get ahold of him to ask for release of his source code. I'm currently looking for another solution in retrieving the data. Unless I can get official access with XCDP, it looks like I'll have to do screen scraping. The screen scraping approach is not going to be pretty though. I'll let you know if I get any more information.
The current XCDP API does not give you any individual achievement information. At the moment the only way to get achievements is by page scraping and as of a couple months ago Microsoft has removed their non-JS log in form for xbox.com making it very difficult to log in. TA has found a way to get around this but he's trying to monopolize the scene and isn't willing to help others on this topic.
Even though TA does not have your LIVE credentials if your xbox.com page is public and if you give them your gamertag anyone can get your information by going to http://live.xbox.com/en-US/GameCenter?compareTo=GAMERTAGHERE
With the change the Microsoft has done they've also modified achievement icons. If you're looking at a friends profile and if you don't have the game or have unlocked the achievement the icon will be monochromatic even if it's unlocked by that person.
