I am developing video related App in windows phone 8 and I am downloading the videos from server and store in Isolated storage.My problem is that if I download video in My device it should be visible in Windows phone as far as I know isolated storage is for particular app we can't access data saved in isolated storage Without activating App.
So please let me know how to access video downloaded from App without opening app.
You can integrate your app with 'Music and Video' hub. More details are here.

You can use dispatch timer to save your 10-second video clips(StorageFile) in your app localstorage and send the storagefile to another function that makes the fileupload network calls asynchronously.

We followed following url to test it.

The app is working fine when we run it from local machine as the target, When we deploy the same app in windows phone lumia it is not able to include google map api, it shows the "An app can't load remote web content in the local context"

I have developed Windows Phone Silverlight application (support 8.0 and 8.1) for my client request. The client is goint to publish the application in WP app store, but first he must check on his phone if everything is OK with the application.
The application was developed with Visual Studio 2013, I've got developer account and own phone assigned to this account on which I have tested the application.
The question is, how can my client install the application on his own phone skipping windows app store? I have sent him builded *.xap file but he had a some problems with installation (Cannot install company application)?
You can submit your app to Windows Phone Store BETA. Your app will by certified quickly, and your client will be able to download it just like any other app from Store. The difference is that it will be visible and possible only for him.
Log in to you DevCenter account, click Submit App. Then, in App info section expand More options and select Beta. Then you can provide your client's mail.
I'm not sure, but I think that the name of the app should not be the same as the final version. So you can name it "My App Beta" to avoid future name conflict with the final version.
One more thing. When your app pass certification process, you have to send the link to the app to your client, because he won't get any notification.
What I want
I want to allow in app SSO between the Live Connect SDK and a single Mobile Services instance that I'll use as the backend for 2 applications, WP8 & W8.1. I want to do this without affecting existing users of the WP8 app that is already in the Windows Phone Store. Both apps will use the Live SDK for OneDrive access.
Existing Situation
I have a Windows Phone 8 application that uses Azure Mobile Services and the Live Connect SDK and I have set up SSO by
Registering the app in the Live Connect Developer Center
Setting the redirect URL in the Developer Center to the Mobile Services URL (used in the Live Connect authentication token)
Copying the Client ID into my app and passing it to the Live Connect SDK methods when I log in
Retrieving the Live Connect authentication token after login and passing it to the Mobile services login
Issues
This is fine but now I want to start building a companion Windows 8.1 app that uses the same Mobile Services instance and SSO but I'm running into a difficulty as below:
The Live Connect Developer Center app associated with the Windows 8.1 app needs to have the Package SID and the only way I can find to do this is to use the 'associate my app with the Windows Store' tool within Visual Studio. This creates a new app in the Live Connect Developer Center with the Windows 8.1 Package SID. I can't find any way to add this Package SID to my existing Live Connect app (i.e. the one used for the WP8 app).
I believe I need to use a single, shared Live Connect Developer Center app, and associated Client ID, for both my WP8 and W8.1 apps as the authentication token from Live Connect (documentation here) seems to include the 'user identifier - uid' that is 'An identifier for the user, which is unique to the app'. To me this also implies that if I change the client ID (i.e. effectively a new app from Live Connect's point of view) then it will appear to mobile services as if a new user is signing in and all their old data will no longer be accessible to them.
I have researched other people doing SSO across both platforms and they seem to be using a single app in the Live Connect Developer Center but in all cases that I have seen so far they use the Windows 8.1 app, because this has the Package SID, and set it to 'Mobile or desktop client app'. I have started from the other direction with the phone app first and I can't find any information about this. I'm also trying to avoid testing this all out in a live app in case it does cause issues.
I have posted in both the Mobile Services and Live Connect forums about these issues but without a reply. (I can only provide 2 links, check my profile in the Mobile Services forum for my other post).
My Question
How can I add Azure Mobile Services SSO to my new Window 8.1 app without breaking my existing WP8 app?
Thanks.
It looks like this question may have already been covered here:
Live Connect Authentication Token for use on Azure Mobile Services (REST)
Hope that helps!
This question has been answered by Matthew Henderson in the Azure Mobile Services forum
The simplified version is you need to use one Live Connect app in the Developer Center (i.e. the same Client ID used by both the W8.1 & WP8 apps)
To do this you either need to either:
a) Start with the Windows 8.1 app which will register the SID with the Live Connect app (this is the documented and easiest path) and then re-use this Client ID in the Windows Phone 8 app
OR
b) If you already have a Windows Phone 8 app as I did then you can change the automatically created SID association in the Live Connect Developer Center to allow the Windows 8.1 app to use the existing Windows Phone 8 Client ID. This is a less well documented feature.
I am developing an app which would need to have files pushed to its local store for its consumption.
Is it possible to transfer files from a PC to a windows phone app local folder or say one of the Special-use folders in the local folder such as Shared/Media from a desktop application in a wired or wireless manner ? Are there any size restrictions as to the maximum data a local folder could contain for transfers done this way ?
On further research on WP8 storage i got to know about isolated storage explorer and i envision the desktop client to be similar to isolated storage explorer but customized and simplified only for the app is that possible ? meanwhile let me search more.
Yes - it does seem like it is possible. You can use the Isolated Storage Explorer in WP8.
Look at the Replacing files in the local folder in the following article on how to move files between your computer and your phone:

Eventually i ended up using socket programming to solve this, Stephen Cleary's blog post here helped a lot to brush up the basics
