I have a web service that contacts my Windows Phone8 app at specified intervals.
The service needs to be notified when the user uninstalls the Windows Phone8 app.
Is there an uninstall event of some type ?
Is there an uninstall event of some type ?
No, there is no way to know that a user uninstalled your app (with the current Windows Phone SDK).

I have a Windows 10 app that is intended to replace and older Windows Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app. So if the previous app is already installed and is updated from the store, the new Win 10 uap app will replace it. However, I want to keep some of the Application Settings properties from the Silverlight app and transfer them over to the Windows 10.
My idea was that, when starting the Win 10 app for the first time, I would check for the application settings file that was from the previous 8.1 silverlight and read the desired properties.
I changed my AppxManifest file in the Win 10 app to use same Publisher Id, PhoneProductId and PhonePublisher id as the Silverlight. However, when I run the Win 10 app I get a prompt that my previous silverlight app will be uninstalled first (and hence I would lose the application settings file). Is there a proper way to upgrade from Silverlight 8.1 to Win 10 universal without losing the file?
Update the Silverlight App to migrate user settings from Local to Roaming. Even when the Silverlight App gets deleted the user settings will persist in the cloud for a month or so. Because the UWP will use the same App ID these settings will be available for the UWP app.
I am successfully able to create and download build from CN1 server for Windows 8.
I am also able to unlock my windows phone (Microsoft Lumia 640 Windows OS 8.1) using 'Windows Phone Developer Registration' utility.
See below image.
But still I am getting this error, any suggestion please ?
For a testing sake, I created one dummy app just having textfields and even that simple one didn't work.
Thanks.
To run your app on windows phone 8, you have to do the following:
You must be a registered developer.
The phone must be registered.
The phone must be connected to the host computer with the USB cable,
turned on, and the screen must be unlocked.
To test apps on a Windows Phone 8 device:
The Windows Phone IP over USB Transport service must be running. This
service is installed and started when you install the Windows Phone
SDK 8.0.
The computer must recognize the connected device. A Windows Phone 8
phone is listed as a drive in File Explorer.

We have a problem when trying to list the application signed in the applicationcenter/installers/html.
We get the unsigned applicationCenter app for Windows Phone from the MFP Server repository.
We get a certificate from Symantec (who delivers the certificates for Windows applications).
We signed the applicationCenter app for Windows Phone from the Windows Phone sdk using the certificate delivered by Symantec.
We install the signed applicationCenter app in the applicatonCenter console choosing Installer option.
We generated a token with AETGenerator tool that we uploaded and registered in the application center console for the applicationCenter app for Windows Phone.
We connected to http://hostname:portnumber/applicationcenter/installers.html from the Windows Phone device and we accept the token.
Then we refresh the screen and get a message that the list of application is empty whereas we should see the applicationCenter app signed for WindowsPhone.
Does anyone ever face this issue?
Thanks.
Do you see the Windows Phone App Center Client when you open the AppCenter Console in the browser? Can you add any IPA file and mark it as Installer? If you then see the IPA file in the installers.html page of the Windows Phone Device, you are running into an incompatibility that was recently introduced by Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1.
This problem was fixed by an ifix. Depending on your version, you need the following ifix:
7.0.0.x: IF20150407-1506
6.3.0.x: IF20150403-1749
6.2.0.x: IF20150407-0051
6.1.0.x: IF20150407-0051
Note that the first 8 digits of the ifix are a date. Any ifix with a later date is also ok. Ifixes can be obtained from https://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/

I have published the windows phone app. Now I have added new feature and functionality in my app.On windows phone developer console we have two options Replace the Package or Add new package.
I had selected Replace option and now the submission has been submitted successfully.
But windows app store not showing the update notification for my app but if I uninstall and again install the app new version of app installed.
I want windows store should give update notification for new version.
By default your phone only checks for updates every 24 hours.
You can manually check for updates using the store app's settings.
I'm doing a Windows Phone 8.1 application. It works ok, I can try it on emulator and on my phone, because I've registered it.
Now, I have to pass the app to my client to test it (they are going to test it on multiple devices). I was looking but I didn't find any aswer to this questions:
How can I create and send them an appx that they can install on their phones?
What kind of developer license I need?
Do they have to register their phones with the same certificate I create the appx?
How can they install the appx I've sent them via email for example?
Thank you very much!
sideloading Windows Phone appx files is not directly possible if the device is no registered developer device. And sadly there can be only 3 devices registered.
You can set up a new app in your developer account dashboard and submit it to the store as a beta version. Then you can "invite" up to 10000 people by entering their email addresses.
