Is possible to know which apps were installed to the device? - windows-phone-8.1

I'm writing an app, it can list all apps in user device, is there have a way to know which apps were installed to the phone via wp8.1 public API currently? Can I get the app list?

I believe those two answers: first and second are still actual.
Looking here at MSDN, PackageManager class is available only for desktop applications, not phone:
Minimum supported phone - None supported
Thought for Enterprise Deployment you can use on Phone InstallationManager.FindPackagesForCurrentPublisher method - as written in first reference.

Titanium Documentation for Windows Phone 8 SDK

I have an application built with the Titanium SDK that runs fine on iOS and Android. Now that Windows Phone can be targeted using Appcelerator Studio, I tried to publish the app to this platform. It published and ran but the app looks horrible and behaves unexpected and clearly needs some work.
When I search through Appcelerator's documentation for the Titanium SDK, the properties and methods for say "Ti.UI.View" do not have the Windows supported logo next to them? How do I know what properties and methods of the various classes are supported / I can use? I will post an example link below. It is for Ti.UI.View
http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.View-property-touchEnabled
Is there another source of documentation I am missing? Does anyone know if Appcelerator plan on updating their docs?
If the property does not clarify anything supports all e.g: BackgroundColor, but if the property supported only some are shown as follows: e.g BackgroundDisabledColor (Windows and Android)
I'm not sure if the documentation is up-to 100%

UWP is not available in Windows Store after Published

I have deployed my UWP in windows store. The app is available in windows store, however, it can be accessed only using the link provided by MS https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh5cdck. The app is not available when I search in windows store. I have used exact name and alternate names, but it's not showing in windows store.
Any suggestion, why it it not available in windows store?
Thanks!
If your app is public (not Beta or Private) it'll take time to be available through the search (Site & Devices) .. around 72 Hours or more in some cases!
UPDATE 1:
That's odd.. I suggest to update the submission and make it Private (2nd option) then after your submission is published.. send another submission and make it Public (1st option).. maybe that will update the servers status and the cache..
Same here. My app not showing in the search result.
It's bug windows store.

Thank you every one,
I emailed this to Microsoft and then I received reply with following statements:
We have reviewed your app and have moved it up in rank such that you
should see it in the Search results soon.
Within 10 hours after this email, I saw my app in the store.
Thanks to Windows Store Policy Team!

Get Windows Phone app information

Is there a way to get info about particular app such as number of downloads, some kind of statistics etc., not being its owner. I am wondering whether exists any API to get information from Windows Phone Market? Thank you in advance. Last concern : is it enable to use another ad on windows phone than microsoft advertising? Will such app be approved on market?
Unfortunately there is no such Api to Access these things.

Office 365 / Exchange API for windows phone 8/8.1 development project

I am working on a Windows Phone development project (wp8/wp8.1) and need to grab the user's Exchange/Office 365 calendar information. My quick research found the EWS API and Office 365 API preview cannot be used in Windows Phone projects.
Does anyone know any approach/API that I can use to make the oAuth authentication and data retrieving code easier?
Thank you.
Depending on what you're trying to do, you can either use the calendar object directly which can read info from the phone calendars : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh286421(v=vs.105).aspx this works, but you don't have any access to attachments for example and there's few others limitations.
Or if you target 8.1 : http://www.cloudidentity.com/blog/2014/04/16/calling-office365-api-from-a-windows-phone-8-1-app/
Or you can use the Exchange Web Services in SOAP or POX like you would do if developing for another platform. I can't post the link, but the reference is on the msdn.
Good luck with exchange development, it's quite a nightmare :)

Windows phone calendar integration

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.
