I have published the windows phone app. Now I have added new feature and functionality in my app.On windows phone developer console we have two options Replace the Package or Add new package.
I had selected Replace option and now the submission has been submitted successfully.
But windows app store not showing the update notification for my app but if I uninstall and again install the app new version of app installed.
I want windows store should give update notification for new version.
By default your phone only checks for updates every 24 hours.
You can manually check for updates using the store app's settings.

I want my windows store app to update automatically even the user turn off the automatic update button in the settings (application update).
Is it possible to achieve this?
Starting in Windows 10, version 1607, you can use an API in the Windows.Services.Store namespace to programmatically check for package updates for the current app, and download and install the updated packages.
You can also query for packages that have been marked as mandatory on the Windows Dev Center dashboard and disable functionality in your app until the mandatory update is installed.
More info , you can refer to download and install package updates for your app.
I have a Windows 10 app that is intended to replace and older Windows Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app. So if the previous app is already installed and is updated from the store, the new Win 10 uap app will replace it. However, I want to keep some of the Application Settings properties from the Silverlight app and transfer them over to the Windows 10.
My idea was that, when starting the Win 10 app for the first time, I would check for the application settings file that was from the previous 8.1 silverlight and read the desired properties.
I changed my AppxManifest file in the Win 10 app to use same Publisher Id, PhoneProductId and PhonePublisher id as the Silverlight. However, when I run the Win 10 app I get a prompt that my previous silverlight app will be uninstalled first (and hence I would lose the application settings file). Is there a proper way to upgrade from Silverlight 8.1 to Win 10 universal without losing the file?
Update the Silverlight App to migrate user settings from Local to Roaming. Even when the Silverlight App gets deleted the user settings will persist in the cloud for a month or so. Because the UWP will use the same App ID these settings will be available for the UWP app.

Is there any way to detect previous version of the application after update?
Problematic scenario:
User installs an application but never launch it. After some time application is updated automatically or via Store application. Now user launch the application and how to check if update happend and what version was previously installed?
There is no problem if user launch the application before update. I could write something to Isloated Storage which survive update. But what about scenrio described above?
I have a web service that contacts my Windows Phone8 app at specified intervals.
The service needs to be notified when the user uninstalls the Windows Phone8 app.
Is there an uninstall event of some type ?
Is there an uninstall event of some type ?
No, there is no way to know that a user uninstalled your app (with the current Windows Phone SDK).
