Please help debug my winappmanifest file

[WaveLightGames]

Hi,

I'm trying to restrict download of my game only those devices with more than 512 MB RAM. However, the changes I've made to the WMAppManifest.xml doesn't seem to be doing this. Can someone help me debug it? All I've done is take the standard manifest file and manually added the lines for restricting access by memory, as per the Microsoft documentation:

Not sure if this is the correct answer.... But try removing these lines:

<FunctionalCapabilities>
<FunctionalCapability Name="ID_FUNCCAP_EXTEND_MEM" />
</FunctionalCapabilities>

According to the page I'm linking below, that line allows it to run on 512 devices, but is granted the higher memory allocation instead of the default lower level. So, I think "ID_FUNCCAP_EXTEND_MEM" (which let's it run on 512) is overriding "ID_REQ_MEMORY_300"

App memory limits for Windows Phone 8

Looks like that might have worked as my submitted file going through certification now has "High Memory" as a requirement, which I don't think was there before.

However, I now got feedback that it works on the 630 with Cyan update! So now I don't know if it's because of the better processor on the 630 or better memory management on the Cyan update. It's all very frustrating ... perhaps I should remove it once Cyan is released / more widespread? Is the Cyan update in general release yet or still not officially released?

Hmmm, my 520 sees version 1.1.0.0 in the store. Is that the latest version?

 

[WaveLightGames]

No, I just submitted version 1.2.0.0 today and it's going through certification right now. Hopefully it will be live in the store tomorrow or the day after. If you could check for me again at that time when you see version 1.2.0.0 ... that would be really helpful.

 

[sinime]

Sure, I'll see if the 520 can see it when the update goes live.

One does not simply debug an XML file. It's called "inspect".

 

[WaveLightGames]

I see ... well thanks for the tip. Always good to learn. I know nothing of XML ... I'm a C# guy, myself.

I use c# too. I mainly do WPF but i sometimes do winRT and winPRT
