I am working on my NFC project and came across problem while launching an app. it always ask about confirmation.Is there any way to remove the confirmation popup while tapping NFC tags with windows phone 8.
Unfortunately, there's no way to remove this confirmation popup. It has been put there for security reasons (to avoid launching an app from a malicious NFC tag without the user consent), and is only disabled on some OEM NFC tags (like the ones included in Nokia's wireless chargers).

I use both gmail (through Chrome) and the Outlook desktop app, both on Windows 10.
Right now chrome is set to handle all mailto links, no matter in which program I click a mailto link.
This is not ideal, as any mailto link I click in outlook is opened in gmail. Therefore I would like to set Outlook to handle all mailto links I click in Outlook, and gmail to handle all mailto links I click in Chrome.
When I try to search for solutions, all I find is people describing how to change the mailto handler for Windows, not how to have different handlers depending on which program the click originated from.
If it is not possible using only Windows settings, solutions that involve potential third party software are also welcome.
My app is completely html CSS and JavaScript. I am running into a little problem because I would like the user to be able to use my webpage from the browser or use the app and maintain the cookies between the two.
Is this possible?
No, this is not possible because the WebBrowser control used in your hybrid app does not share anything with the Internet Explorer. They are completely separated and each one is sandboxed.
This also prevents other applications from reusing such cookies.
I'm fairly new to Chrome app development and was wondering if it's possible to run an app within Chrome's main window, like the TweetDeck app.
Thanks!
No. Chrome Apps' current goal is to provide a native-like app experience outside the Chrome browser. Today, with the exception of certain privileged APIs, putting an app in Chrome would be... well, it would be a website.
If you want an app in one of Chrome's tabs, why not just build a website? What does the open web lack for your project?
Note that we have been thinking about what it would mean for an app to be a component inside a webpage. You could imagine a Facebook Like button or a Google+ +1 button implemented as an app in a webpage in the same way that those buttons today are usually implemented as iframes. There are some interesting security properties that this approach would bring over iframes. But again, this doesn't seem to be what you had in mind. What you had in mind appears to be a regular website.
I have a task to create a client application which can show notifications to a user with a high probability of notifications being noticed.
The application should work on Android (2.0+)/iOS/WP.
Here is the use case:
The user starts the Application and performs some Action. Then he switches to the home screen/another application.
The response to the Action makes the Application to issue a notification. The notification is noticed by the user disregarding of what another application (or home screen) he uses on his mobile device at the moment.
There is no requirement for the application to be a native app or to be a web browser-based mobile app. The notification could be a sound or a vibration on the device, but I know that accessing the vibrations from within a browser is still tricky.
Here are my research results of making universal sound/vibro notification mechanism so far:
it seems that making a mobile device vibrate from a browser works only in mobile Firefox (no iOS, no WP);
the support of the audio html5 tag is still experimental, it doesn't work on each and every browser/device;
the sound alert from this example works only in mobile Firefox (asks for a plugin to play an mp3 sound), the Android browser just remains silent.
So, the question is:
Is there any way to force a user of a mobile device (Android 2.0+/iOS/WP) to view a notification from a mobile application? Is the only way to do this is to write a native app for each mobile platform?
I would propose PhoneGap for that particular problem.
Among other things it features cross-platform alert, sound and vibrator notifications.
Only quirk for Windows Phone 7 is that the Cordova lib includes a generic beep file that is used. You should consult the Notification reference page to make sure if it can help you.
How does the HTML5 Voice input on Chrome (Mac) get access to the mic? Is it because I have the google voice plugin installed?
Shouldn't the browser explicitly ask for permission before giving access?
http://slides.html5rocks.com/#speech-input
The microphone isn't directly being exposed to the Web page—it's just posting the speech (and receiving text) through Google servers so it's not considered a security issue (and you have to click the microphone icon to start it). It's pretty similar to how voice input works on Android and Google's iPhone/Blackberry apps.
It is explicitly asking permission before giving access, that's what clicking the microphone icon is.
Think of it more like the <input type="file"> element -- you click "Browse", it shows you your file system, and the browser sends the selected file directly to the server.
For those saying that you can't style the button and it can't be exploited - it was done with Facebook like buttons - http://www.esrun.co.uk/blog/disguising-a-facebook-like-link/
So what's to stop it working for the Google Mic button?
