I am using Parse.com storage service for Windows Phone 8. When I try to initialize
ParseClient.Initialize("MY_APP_ID","MY_NET_ID");
I am getting this exception:
System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.
at Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.get_LocalSettings()
at Parse.PlatformHooks.SettingsWrapper..ctor()
at Parse.PlatformHooks.SettingsWrapper.get_Wrapper()
at Parse....
I am targeting Windows Phone 8 and I found out that WP8 is not supporting LocalSettings, just WP8.1.
When I target it to WP8.1 everything is working fine.
But...
I have another application for WP8 in which I am using Parse and everything is working fine.
How can I avoid this problem?
Just for info: App which does not work was built for WP7.1 and than upgraded to WP8, and another which works fine was from beginnig targeting WP8.
Thanks
I found the solution. If someone has the same problem, just install older version of parse package in Nuget.
PM> unInstall-Package parse
PM> Install-Package parse -Version 1.2.16

I'm having troubles while trying to add the Metadata of Autofac. I have to install the package "Autofac Extras: Metadata Attribute Support" which need Autofac.Mef. When installing this package, I get a message saying that I try to install Autofac.Mef 4.0.0 in a project targeting «portable-net45+win+wpa81» and that the package doesn't contain any file supporting this. (Same message with Autofac.Mef 3.0.3).
I could probably find a way to make my project work without Autofac's Metadata but I don't understand why this package isn't compatible with Windows Phone 8.1. Is there a solution to this issue?
Thanks in advance

If you download the Autofac.Mef package manually and then open it up in NuGet Package Explorer you'll see that the Autofac.Mef package only targets .NET 4.5 apps - you can't use it in Windows Phone.
The reason for this is that the original framework MEF is only compatible with the full .NET framework. There's a "lighter weight" MEF 2 framework that is compatible with Windows Phone 8.1 but that's not the one Autofac.Mef works with.
There's no way to fix it. There's also no current plan to switch Autofac.Mef to using the Microsoft.Composition package.
I know that using HAP in windows phone apps is very problematic, but I very need to. So the problem is that when I add System.Xml.XPath from silverlight 5 or 4 I get "Xaml Internal Error error WMC9999". It's got to be noticed that the version of HAP is 1.4.6 but not 1.4.9 (tha latest one), because it cannot be installed from NuGet (just doesn't add reference) and I've found no links to download it manually.
In old windows phone 8 silverlight app everything worked great.
Please, help.
Use the HtmlAgilityPack-PCL nuget package with Windows Phone 8.1 XAML apps, it works fine with no need to add any references manually.
Am porting my Windows Phone 8 app to Windows Phone 8.1 and everything is working fine in debug mode. But when I set in release mode and while building the application, I get the error,
The type of namespace "FlickGestureEventArgs" could not be found
The type of namespace "ShakeGestureEventArgs" could not be found
How to overcome this? I couldn't launch the app certification kit when in debug mode.
Got solution for my own question and here is my answer.
First I re-installed the WP toolkit from nuget using the command
Install-Package WPtoolkit
So that I can able to solve FlickGestureEventArgs. And similarly I thought this will be solution to my another problem ShakeGestureEventArgs. Started searching for the new ShakeGesture.dll and find that in below link.
ShakeGesture.dll
Now my problem is solved. If you are facing the same issues, just re install the packages which shows error and you can able to solve it.
I've always used RestSharp to handle async requests on Windows Phone 7 & 7.8 applications, but today, I was trying to add RestSharp to a Windows Phone 8 application and it wouldn't work. This is the error received:
Install-Package: Unable to install the package "RestSharp 104.1". You are attempting to install this package to a will "WindowsPhone, Version = v8.0" as the target of the project, but this package does not contain any compatible with the framework assembly references
I got HTTP requests working by using a Portable HttpClient for .NET Framework and Windows Phone
The last version of it was published on 2/18/2013 and it can be included in the project using the NuGet package manager.
You can find details at the following link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bclteam/archive/2013/02/18/portable-httpclient-for-net-framework-and-windows-phone.aspx
Having installed it
using System.Net.Http;
is now recognized.
I am starting the development on windows phone 8, the famous JSON.NET does not support windows phone 8 yet, is there any other library which can be used for this purpose?
The JSON.NET codeplex site says that WP8 is supported.
Update: The JSON.NET NuGet package should just work with a Windows Phone 8.0 project. Adding it in VS2012 NuGet manager pulls in the WP7 version of JSON.NET. (packages\Newtonsoft.Json.4.5.10\lib\sl3-wp\Newtonsoft.Json.dll)
JSON.NET is now also available as a Portable Class Library which you can consume from WP8 (available in NuGet or in source form).
Had the exact same problem - turns out I didn't have the newest version of NuGet.
To upgrade, click tools -> extensions and updates and then click the Updates-tab. Update everything, restart the program and try again. :-)
I was having this issue. I was able to compile the source for Windows Phone 8 instead of Windows 7.1 and it worked. NuGet would not work for me.
Here is how I did it:
Open up solution JsonXXrXX.zip\Source\Src\Newtonsoft.JSON.WindowsPhone.sln
Go to properties for Newtonsoft.Json.WindowsPhone Project(Right click on the project then properties)
For the dropdown of "Target Windows Phone OS Version" select Windows 8.X
Compile.
Grab the DLL, PDB, and XML from the output directory
Add Reference to the DLL file in your Windows Phone 8 Project
Thats it. I can't vouch that it works 100% or that you'll be able to submit your app. But it should hold you over until there is official support.
For complex json you might find this website helpful: http://json2csharp.com/#.
If you don't wanna make too fancy stuff (or need dictionary) suppport, you can also just use the built-in DataContractJsonSerializer (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.json.datacontractjsonserializer.aspx)
Btw: At least in https://json.codeplex.com/discussions/401305 some people report that the WP7.1 dll works for them, using this file: "Newtonsoft.Json.4.5.7\lib\sl4-windowsphone71\Newtonsoft.Json.dll".
