I've built a windows phone 8 application.
As of today, I can synchronize contacts from the internet with contacts on the phone thanks to the contact store. Everything is ok.
Do we have the same thing for the calendar so that our appointments will be visible in the calendar of the phone?
Thanks
Yes there is an Appointment Store class. Through the Windows.ApplicationModel.Appointments namespace, you can create and manage appointments in a user's calendar app. Here you can create an appointment, add it to a calendar app, replace it in the calendar app, and remove it from the calendar app.
Pre-requisite: Before you can use any of the app calendar APIs you need to update your app manifest. In Solution Explorer, double-click Package.appxmanfest to open the manifest designer. On the Capabilities tab, check the Appointments capability
Here are some other links that you can check out:
1) Managing Appointments
2) Managing App Calenders
3) Reading Data from App Calenders

For my website which advertises local events at my university with a particular emphasis on accessibility and being outdoors given the world situation, I have embedded my account's calendar so that users can see our events and save them etc. The goal I am trying to accomplish is to integrate users personal calendar into the website so that when they log in they can see their own calendar.
Google log in is integrated and functional on the site, however I cannot find any info about how to embed a user's personal calendar as all the info google provides on the topic is how to embed the site admin's calendar. The most simple and barebones way to do this would be an iframe which i've tried however it is protected by google from displaying.
Has anyone attempted anything similar or had any success with this?
In order to integrate someone else's calendar you can embed it, using the instructions in this link. However, for this option, you will need to have access to each user's calendar, meaning, they will have to have shared it with you.
Another option is to retrieve all the events from the users calendars and integrate them in your website. For this, you could benefit from using a service account.

I need some help to understand better about google maps push notifications.
Nowadays we are getting push notifications from different restaurants, hotels or shops whenever we visited or leave the area.
how this is happening. Do we need to use any product from the Google to support this feature or Google is promoting the app itself?
I need the same feature to integrating for my project. so whenever a person comes to a place within the radius defined. we need to track their location using GPS and google maps. and once the person leaves the area we need to send a push notification to their mobiles
But our goals is to a person should not install any other Android or IOS app and bluetooth is off. The notification should be get using the Google maps only
so can anyone please let me if this can be achieved? do we have any APIS which Google can provide
Your phone should be subscribed for the Push Notifications. So some app in your phone did this. Also it is impossible to be subscribed without user's permission (at least at iOS). You can check permissions in app settings.
to get more undestanding you can look into: Apple Push Notification Service (APNS)
I made an app as an extension on Chrome Web Store. I would like to know the download count for my extension.
From the developer's dashboard I can access to Statistics, but the graphic starts in 21/5/2015 (three months ago) and the CSV file too.
How can I see the complete download history?
Creating a Google Analytics account using it to track installs is probably a pretty close estimate of downloads.
Once you create your Analytics account, you create a new property with the default URL being your extension page. For example, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/<extension-name>/<extension-id>
Once you get your tracking id, add that to the edit page for your extension in the webstore developer dashboard.
Once you have done that go to the Analytics admin panel and on the right click Goals. Add a new Custom goal of Destination type for the RegEx match of /track_install/.*.
You can now add a graph of this goal completion to track installs.
Here is a comparison of the data collected by Google Analytics and the Statistics in the webstore developer dashboard.
We are building a simple we app that contains basic tasking functionality (tasks, appointments, etc.).
We want to integrate it with Windows Phone 8 native Calendar, without writing any apps but by making a some sort of webservice that could be added as an account to Windows phone (e.g. Facebook, Microsoft Live, Gmail - are all accounts that are added, thus the tasks are synced).
Yet what have I came up with was this:
Interacting with calendars (Live Connect API)
This looks like a way to actively push and control the items on the Microsoft Live account, which would be fine but it requires that account to make it happen and an active module to do all the management.
We are looking forward to mimicking account behaviour and letting the phone do all the work :)
CalDAV was another keyword that popped up while searching but to my understanding windows phone doesn't support it.
Is it possible to forcefeed windows phone calendar objects to the phone without making a custom app?
Windows phone 8.1 supports cardav/caldav. You can put a custom dav server address selecting icloud account (it is a workaround) and editing the dav url. So you can set up a dav server in your app and synch calendars and contacts between your web app and the wp8 defaukt calendars and contacts app.
I'm building a funnel for our chrome extension using Google analytics.
When it comes to the chrome store stats at the beginning of the funnel, the data the developer's dashboard provides is limited (impressions & installations only).
I'm looking for data such as referrals to my extension page, the amount of people who clicked on the extension page but didn't install it (not impressions).
Can this data be found in the dashboard or GA? where? and if not, how can I otherwise track this?
Thank you very much!

You can add a Google Analytics ID to your projects from the Developer Dashboard. Create a new account in Analytics, click on "Edit" next to your project in the Chrome Developer Dashboard, and add the ID near the bottom of the page. (I'm not sure how new this feature is, but it is a little hard to find).
Inside Analytics, I have a goal set up for the URL /track_install/detail/ext/free/{% my extension id %}, which tracks installations. This shows the number of views without an install in the goal funnel. Referrals are available like any other Analytics page. GA is much more granular and updates in real time instead of once a day like the dashboard.
