I'd like to see the program live up to its original promise of giving developers exposure and putting apps in the front page: the only indie apps I've seen on the front page so far have been because of the AdDuplex scheme. The Windows App store is broken when it comes to discoverability (even...

Just updated the app. New features: Remove items from files list See covert image details (mime type, resolution, size)

Store link: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9p4xmlhzw8tg MediaTag is my take on remaking MP3TAG (an audio/video file metadata editor) for UWP. It supports batch tag-editing of the most common audio and some video formats, with many ways to quickly organize large collections of files...

File Hasher computes the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 hashes of files and allows to quickly check if they match a given value. Useful to make sure downloaded files have not been corrupted in transit or tampered with when websites publish reference checksums. Supports drag and drop from File Explorer...

Hello everyone I'd like to register for the developer program. I have created a few UWP apps (listed here) that I hope can be useful to the community. At the same time, I'd love to get users and feedback on how to improve :)

What does the certification report say? Usually it lists which certification rule(s) you broke, first by quoting the rule in full and then by giving you some remarks from the person who tested the app.

What kind of apps are you thinking about making?

What is Windows looking for when deciding if the hardware is designed for continuum or not? Is it a drivers whitelist? As far as I know Miracast, which is what wireless continuum uses, should work on bog standard WiFi.

Sadly no, Windows Hello cameras have specific hardware to support the feature. You can't just force it on in software.

Hello and thank you for the welcome. I mostly make utility apps: there are a number of Win32 programs that I use regularly but which are never going to get ported to UWP, or that have UIs I don't like, so I make my own versions of those. So far I have made a file checksum calculator, a batch...

Thank you for the warm welcome :) I'm gonna register to the developer program as soon as I'll get linking privileges. As for beta testing, are there any rules about distribution? Like needing to use HockeyApp vs simply distributing .appx files. In any case, thank again.

As we know, Microsoft has announced a version of desktop Windows 10 that will run on 64 bit ARM. Have they announced anything about whether support will extend to Windows 10 mobile? It would be awesome if 64 bit capable Lumias would get to run a 64 bit OS.

Long time reader and lurker, I love the website and community. I live in Tokyo and one of my hobbies is making Windows app. I have a desktop, a Surface 3 and a Lumia 950.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here: yes, the Windows Store has a lot less apps than Android or iOS, but is this the end of the world? Let's face it - most apps on iOS/Android/WP are **** anyways: free to play games trying to nickel and dime customers make the bulk of App Stores, most of...
