In some application icon on store windows disappear, only gray background are shown (as shown in this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oRSWSS0hKDOVZNNjhRNlR1LUk)
Whereas once downloaded and installed, the start screen wide screen (310x150) and other icons can be displayed in windows 8.1.
Icon that I use: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oRSWSS0hKDNlNaQ290b3RmTE0
How to handle it?
I also had a problem where inside Windows Store, empty gray logo was displayed instead of the one I set inside App Manifest as a wide logo. Gray logo was only visible inside the Store, but once downloaded and pinned to the start, wide logo was displayed without problems. I also noticed problems were only inside Store on Surface 1, but not on PCs and Surface 3.
The solutions seems to be to set images for all scales. So open Package.appxmanifest > Visual Assets > Wide 310x150 Logo and under Scaled Assets, set all four sizes. Then you have to create new App Package and update your submission with it on Windows Dev Center.
Hopefully this works for you as well.
I had the same problem on the Windows Store on Windows Phone 8.1. It had nothing to do with the Package.appxmanifest > Visual Assets, since all the icons were filled and uploaded. Solution: When submitting the app to the Store, go to Description > App Tile Icon for Windows Phone 8.1 and upload a 300x300 icon.

Please help me if you have iphone 12 pro ...
My boos (and some of his customers) has an iPhone 12 pro (ios 14.3) and I don't and yu can't install any apps in iphone simulator so debugging this becomes a nightmare.
This problem is specific to Google's app on iphone and does not happen anywhere else!
copy this link and open it in the google's app https://intaker.co/debug.html, tap on one of the links. The site won't load property, it seems that the screen size is not correct (it's very small)!! the loading widget is displayed on the corner and then everything is squished in the corner ... But now if you refresh the same page or rotate the phone the page renders properly!!!
Has anyone seen anything slimier to this? Do you have a solution?
UPDATE 1 : I put a fixed 100% width/height div in the page hopping to force it to grow but no luck
UPDATE 2 : If link comes from the same domain this problem does not happen!!! try the links in here https://intakerclientqa1.azurewebsites.net/debug.html they point to the same domain
UPDATE 3 : This is only happening when using this app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google/id284815942
UPDATE 4 : Even after updating the device to 14.4 this is still happening, this is how the site is being rendered :
This happens only the first time and only when arrived from a external link, it works fine if :
link is typed/pasted in the browser
page is refreshed
device orientation is changed
I have some photos that were uploaded by a user who complained that the vertical photos were changed to landscape orientation when they were resized. Indeed, that was the case and in an effort to just move things along I reoriented the photos and uploaded in place. That had no effect when the pictures were viewed inside of a webpage though!
To make as simple a test as possible I created a bare bones web page with no CSS and a single IMG element with no attributes other than src. That continues to show the photo in landscape mode. Copy the photo's URL and paste into another tab and the photo shows in vertical mode. Download the file and open in Windows and it shows in vertical mode.

The files are being stored on Azure BLOB storage.
I've duplicated this with Chrome version 56, Edge version 38 and Internet Explorer 11.
What could be causing this?
Your image has embedded exif orientation data which is presumably being ignored when rendering the page. See this answer for a bit more detail.
Basically, the camera you took the image with stored it in landscape, but stored some metadata with it saying that the image needs to be rotated 270°. The browser is apparently ignoring this tag when rendering it in the webpage, but not when you access the image directly.
I have a live site at http://www.factormedia.co.za
When you inspect it to phone scale (around 350px width or so) it loads 3 icons in the menu, of a house,laptop and notepad.
However if you had to actually use a phone the images do not appear. So trying to figure out why it is not referencing my font library from fontastic.com.
Works fine in a preview but on the actual device itself.
It seems when you embed using the link they give you works when testing and using anything from a laptop to a desktop, once you scale down it starts to give issues to mobile. To solve this issue the easiest way was to manually download the icons I was using and use them as their own custom font by installing it as the site instructs.
This then solved the problem and it now shows on smaller devices
I got pictures in the isolated storage and i want to display them as well as the WINDOWS PHONE APP does.
I would like to reproduce the same effect that the Windows phone app does when you open the camera roll and you scroll through the images..
I find it particularly difficult because of the image orientation (horizontal and the vertical ones). I fit the vertical ones, but as soon as there are an horizontal picture any fit procedure fails!
Example?
thank you
Take a look at the MediaViewer class in the Silverlight Basic Lens sample. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wpapps/Basic-Lens-sample-359fda1b
In documentation stated that it is enough to keep the only WXGA splashscreen file and it will be scaled by windows Phone OS automatically.
To display a splash screen for all resolutions, use a single image
file named SplashScreenImage.jpg that is 768 × 1280. The phone
automatically scales the image to the correct size.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj206974(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_Splashscreens
But when I'm using the only file no scaling occurs. I still could see black line on the top of the phone during app start.
Sample here:

Thanks for any suggestions
You'll notice that it says "scale" and not stretch - which is exactly what's happening. Windows Phone 8 supports 3 resolutions (so far)...
480x800 (15:9)
720x1280 (16:9)
768x1280 (15:9)
You'll notice that the aspect ratio of #1 and #3 are the same, but #2 is different - and that's the problem.
For an image to fit all resolutions it would have to be stretched, which would look very bad so Windows Phone 8 doesn't do that. Instead, it scales the image to fit the screen but a black/white bar appears at the top of screen for #2.
The only way to avoid the black/white bar at the top of the screen is to create 3 separate splash screen and specify them in the WP8 manifest file.
Note: Making your app work and look correct at multiple resolutions is what every app developer should do. All the major platforms (iOS, Android, Windows 8, etc) support multiple screen sizes and/or resolutions so creating multiple icons sizes, splash screen sizes, background images, and other assets is part of the jobs.
I don't think a "splashscreen.jpg" is a good choice in wp8 any longer, even the templates of sdk doesn't have one.
The reason is if the firts page of your app is massive and your have a splashScreen, you may find your screen blink when starting.
So I would add a blank page and set it as the first page. Also you can add your "Splashscreen" Image here.
