Installation for Today extension - widget

I am playing with IOS 8 new features : Today extension. But many times I have to install the main app two times to get new Widgets from my app to display in IOS Today. Does it happen for everyone ? or it just my mistake in configuration.
Thanks,

I think it's safe to say that it's a bug. It has been happening to me all the time with Xcode6b7 and iOS8b5. I found out that I could make the extension appear by pressing 'edit' and removing another extension (such as tomorrow or calendar).

I've got the same issues when I'm trying to update my widget.
Even when I installed my app via the TestFlight app, I had to install it twice to see the updated widget.
It's surely a bug which isn't even fixed in the current Xcode Beta, which I'm using since the release.
But you shouldn't worry whether your updated widget will be installed when the users are updating it via the App Store. When I tried updating my widgets via the App Store, I didn't get any problems.

Facing issue while trying to run Robot framework script in google chrome browser

I am facing a Chrome popup while trying to run Robot Frame work script:
Microsoft Security Essentials wants to restore your Chrome settings to their
original defaults.
This will reset your homepage, new tab page and
search engine, disable your extensions, and unpin all tabs. It will
also clear other temporary and cached data, such as cookies, content
and site data.
In chrome extension, my developer mode is unchecked, whereas it should be checked.
The Robot Framework automation script is just to open the google Chrome browser and load google search page.
I am using Win 7 Home Basic OS.
I have attached screenshots.
It appears that most Chrome support specialists will ask you to run an anti-malware tool to verify that your system is running normally. These can be found by searching on the popup message.
One Reddit user commented that in his case the problem was resolved by altering the Windows registry:
I finally found a fix for this. There is a setting in the registry
that's causing it.
In the registry it's under
HKEY_CKU\CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\TriggeredReset
Delete the TriggeredReset key and then close regedit. Fixed.
This is an API for 3rd party programmers who want to create cleaning
tools. But if the tool isn't written properly, the triggered reset
never gets deleted and we have it always asking.

Can't pay $5 to register as a Web Store Developer, because the button is missing

Chrome Version: Version 54.0.2840.99 m (64-bit)
OS: Windows 10
Extensions: None enabled
I want to upload an extension to the web store developer dashboard. Since it will be my first one I have to pay 5 dollars as an entry fee. When I tried the first time I was able to see a button to press that loaded the form in which I put my CC info.
But I had trouble with my cc and I had to try it again later. But now the button is missing from the page and there is nothing I can do to bring it back.
This is a picture that shows a screen shot with the button enabled and what I'm seeing right now.
Link here.
Does anyone here had a similar problem and knows how to deal with it?
It is known bug and being tracked at crbug.com/652178
I doubt whether Google Webstore team have fixed it yet, but as a workaround you can try updating your payment details at https://wallet.google.com , then retry. I got it solved earlier in same steps.
Hope it helps!

"Can't install company app" on Windows Phone 8

I've developed a company app for Windows Phone 8, and have gone through all the recommended steps to set it up for installation. I have a Symantec code-signing certificate, and I have generated my Application Enrollment Token and my signed XAP, which I am hosting in a public folder on OneDrive. I generated the XAP using the BuildMDILXap.ps1 script, which ran without errors. I haven't bothered with a company hub app, since we're only distributing a single app.
The AET loads OK on the phone, and asks if I would like to add the workplace account. I click "add", the dialogue box disappears, and no error comes up. There is no confirmation message, however I don't know if I should expect one.
When I load up the XAP, I get the message "Can't install company app. There's a problem with this company app. Contact your company's support person for help."
The phone has been developer unlocked (which of course isn't necessary), and I've had the app side-loaded and running on it successfully before. It was uninstalled before attempting the above, however.
I'm not sure what to do from here. I've tried recompiling and re-signing the XAP and re-generating the AET, but nothing seems to work.
After fruitlessly trying to solve this problem, I found a workaround that does what I need.
It turns out that you can post apps to the public app store, but hide them from searches, essentially making them private to anyone that doesn't have the link. That solves my first problem, getting the app published in a way that my client can access without me needing to have developer licenses for each of their phones.
The downside with that solution is that you still have to wait a few days for an update to be approved, which isn't the greatest when you're still beta-testing and need to make quick changes. However, Microsoft also have a beta program for Windows Phone apps. By designating the app as Beta, submission happens automatically within 2 hours, but you have to restrict access to specific Microsoft accounts. The latter isn't a problem because the number of devices using the app is relatively small.
This removes the need for a corporate app store in my case, and saves the expense of a certificate and the fiddling around that goes with it.

How did my Google chrome extensions got automatically deleted?

So, this is what it happened, I was at my college using my laptop at it's last stage of power coz i forgot the charger at home. So i closed the lid. Put the laptop in bag and came home, astonished to find that the laptop was switched off.(Not hibernated) Then i opened chrome and was using it and suddenly i saw ads. And quickly checked my extensions and found that all of my extensions had disappeared. with a message "Boo... You have no extensions :-("
Any idea how i could restore the extensions back? I don't even remember the name of all extensions. I read somewhere that logging into Google account will re-sync the extensions. But i just realized that the last time i logged into chrome using Google account was a year ago.
I suspect it's some bug of Chrome.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Please!
Well you could try logging in with your Google account. Perhaps you were logged in to Chrome, and it somehow logged out.
Also it's quite a known issue, check: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142059
Easy fix - just reinstall any one of your previous extensions and the rest will all reappear as they are cached at Google.
If you were logged in with your Google account, just open https://chrome.google.com/webstore/user/library

Google Maps Android API v2 - Google Play Store is missing

In the newly published version of my app that is using Google Maps Android API V2, I've implemented all the things suggested by the developer guides to ensure the user has GooglePlayServices installed, and it has been working well on all the devices I own and the several hundred people that have updated to the new version of the app so far.
Today I received a bug report via acra with a strange error. This is happening on the following line of code, after setupMapIfNeeded() has completed:
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Logcat reports:
W/GooglePlayServicesUtil(10401): Google Play Store is missing.
Shouldn't the call to GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() also ensure that the Play Store is installed? That seems like a huge oversight on Google's part if it doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.
In case someone came here by accident or was just wondering why it was not working...
This could happen when user had old Android Market installed, which was replaced by Google Play Store.
Here is relevant issue: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=4862 (fixed in february update).
