When I run codes of this example in windows phone 7 project it's ok but when I test it in a windows phone 8 project it gets exception at this line:
appts.SearchAsync(start, end, 20, "Appointments Test #1");
I can't understand what's the reason???
You need to add related capablity to use appointments: copy and paste <Capability Name="ID_CAP_APPOINTMENTS" /> to <Capabilities> section in WMAppManifest.xml file

I have done a windows app using phoneGap, But when I upload the APPX file in windows dev center, I got some errors like 'Invalid package family name'.
I worked through a similar problem today and I found this article helpful:
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/win8/index.html
Check your build configuration file (build.json) and make sure you select a release if your release settings are defined to match the Strong Name with the Windows Store expected Publisher Name.
If you are using Tools for Apache Cordova (TACO), you will also want to review your config.xml file both with the GUI and then with an raw XML editor like WordPad.
<preference name="WindowsStoreDisplayName" value="XXX" />
<preference name="WindowsStoreIdentityName" value="YYYXXX" />
<vs:platformSpecificValues>
<vs:platformSpecificWidget platformName="windows" id="_ZZZZZZZZ" />
</vs:platformSpecificValues>
Where you fill in the value the Windows Store expects in the XXX, YYY and ZZZ fields.
Hope that helps,
Adam
if you are using https://build.phonegap.com you need compile using cli-6.0.0
I am trying to deploy and test a Universal Windows App to a Surface Pro 3 directly from Visual Studio 2013 (Update 4) and I am unable to launch the App (by hitting F5). I am running into the following error and not able to find a fix to it. There are a bunch of solutions of DEP0700 errors online, but none of them work for the specific sub-error message Cannot map the serial well-known device name to a device interface GUID (blah blah blah)
Here is the error that I am seeing
Error : DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. c:\Builds\TestAppRT\AppX\AppxManifest.xml(38,6): error 0x80070002:
Cannot map the serial well-known device name to a device interface GUID for the 11156705-8b60-4c7f-a75f-f8c7516401fc_1.0.0.0_neutral__1g7p71hbj7m7y package.
Check that the device name is correct. (0x80073cf6)
Have you declared any serial communication in your AppxManifest file?
If your other apps work, your issue might be because opening/editing ApxManifest file in the designer. Try making a new solution, and edit the manifest through only through XML Editor, if required & do not open with the designer.
Reference for more information:
http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/samples/SerialSample.htm
"Visual Studio 2015 has a known bug in the Manifest Designer (the visual editor for appxmanifest files) that affects the serialcommunication capability. If
your appxmanifest adds the serialcommunication capability, modifying your appxmanifest with the designer will corrupt your appxmanifest (the Device xml child will be lost). You can workaround this problem by hand editting the appxmanifest by right-clicking your appxmanifest and selecting View Code from the context menu."
I create universal project type in vs 2013 for 8.1.
In windows phone project i added reference to WriteableBitmapEx via nuget. In references i see WriteableBitmapEx.WinRT. I write code which creates WriteableBitmap from content (use image in project with Content and Dont copy properties). Next i create Image and set source to WriteableBitmap and add image in LayoutRoot grid. In emulator i see this image, thats ok!
Next i call DrawLine method from WriteableBitmap and call WriteableBitmap.Invalidate().
I dont see my line...why?
1) Why reference name ends with .WinRT, is this normal?
2) Why invalidate method not work?
NOTE: in windows phone 8 project (not universal) all works properly! And reference name not ends with .WinRT.
Help me please!
As already said in my comment, I had the same problem. After hours of confused searching, I finally found this trivial reason:
For universal apps, there are actually two projects: MyProject.Windows and MyProject.WindowsPhone. You need to add the nuget package for both of them (they have separate references) and everything will work.
one of the promises of Windows 8.1 is the possibility of multiple instance of Windows Store Apps.
But I'm not finding how to activate this.
I've found the element of the app manifest
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn423281.aspx
But I don't know what to add in the ?? values:
<Package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/2010/manifest" xmlns:m2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/2013/manifest">
<Extensions>
<Extension Category="windows.activatableClass.outOfProcessServer">
<OutOfProcessServer ServerName="??">
<Path>??</Path>
<Instancing>multipleInstances</Instancing>
<ActivatableClass ActivatableClassId="MyApp.App"/>
</OutOfProcessServer>
</Extension>
</Extensions>
</Package>
Could you help me to activate multiple instances of my application?
Thank you a lot!
Each app can have a single instance but multiple views - each view runs in its own thread. Here is an example on MSDN. I wrote an article about how I added multiple views to an app.
Right click on your project and select unload project.
Right click on your project and select edit .csproj
On the XML view find <ProjectGuid> tag.
Generate a new GUID and replace it.
Right click on your project reload it.
Go to Package.appxmanifest and change
Application tab Display name
Visual assets Short name
Packaging Package name
Then create the app package and then install it via powershell.
Each time you need to deploy a new instance of the same app, do above.
I have created a background agent project and added it as a project reference in my main phone application project. I was expecting it to automatically update WMAppManifest.xml with something like the below:
<Tasks>
<DefaultTask Name="_default"
NavigationPage="MainPage.xaml" />
<ExtendedTask Name="MyBackgroundTask">
<BackgroundServiceAgent Specifier="ScheduledTaskAgent"
Name="FooManMark"
Source="BackgroundAgent"
Type="BackgroundAgent.ScheduledAgent" />
</ExtendedTask>
</Tasks>
The periodic task still seems to run in the background (at least in a debug build), so I am wondering if the extended task element is still used in Windows Phone 8?
I am using Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
That's a difference in Windows Phone 8 that this reference is not added to WMAppManifest when you add the project reference, but when you actually build the project. If build the project and unzip the created XAP file and check the content of the WMAppManifest, the ExtendedTask is there.
I've described this in more details here.
