I developed a Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 application and before the Windows 10 update everything was working fine.
On Windows 10 Mobile whenever I receive a notification (sent using ScheduledToastNotification and the ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier().AddToSchedule(scheduledToast) method) it shows an error image instead of the app icon and a weird title instead of the app name as you can see in the screenshot below.
What should I do to fix it?

We have developed an app using Xamarin Forms which targets iOS, Android and Windows Phone. We are using camera feature to take/select photos to be uploaded to the app and the feature works well on all three mentioned platforms.
We have some users facing issues on few windows devices. When a user tries to download the app from Windows App Store, they receive following error:
"This app is not available for your phone because it requires front facing camera”
I have attached screen shot showing the error for reference. The screen shot is taken from Nokia Lumia 635. Our finding that this device has only back camera, no front camera and we believe this might be the reason for above mentioned issue.
Ideally, users should not get this error as this device has back camera and they still can get the photos.
Is this a known issue in windows phone world?
Can this be fixed from code, device permissions?
Is this a device specific problem?
Any ideas?
I'm developing an app that uses toast notifications to notify the user. These notifications are raised when the app is running in the background and go to the notification center.
All is well, but on desktop the app icon is missing for the notification group. When testing the app on Windows 10 Mobile the icon is there.
(Note: Shown above is the notification group for an app named "Calendar Activity", not the actual notification.)
Why is the app icon missing in the desktop's action center?
Here are some details about my assets:
I used the UWP Tile Generator to generate every asset you can configure in the app manifests 'Visual Assets' section. The files names look like this:
Toast notifications are generated using the UWP Community Toolkit classes, if that matters. So I'm not constructing the XML myself.
What am I missing? What is different between desktop and mobile regarding the notification group icons? Why is the notification icon missing on desktop?
(Win 10 Anniversary, SDK 10.0.14393.0, latest official update level for desktop and mobile (no Insider))
This is a know issue for desktop:
This is a known bug with the Anniversary Update (Version 1607). It only affects your app when deployed locally from Visual Studio. Your app will work correctly when deployed as a release package (like when installed from the Store). - Source
I have migrated my application from 8.1 to Win 10 UWP app. When I click on Toast Notification and application is already running, the click launches the new instance of the app and goes back to loading the 1st page of the app.
Is there any reason for this? I dnt see any thing wrong in the codebase.
I am making a Windows 10 hosted Webb app following this. Now when the user press the back button on the phone, it seems that it just quit the app. I want the app just go back to the previous page.How can I do that? I have read this but this is for C#. How about the case for Web App? Thanks!
Since Windows 10 UWP apps are being shipped without any templates, there is a GitHub project which contains many code examples to add to your Windows 10 application. Here's the project which implements a back button and multiple navigation features utilizing controls. It works on both Windows 10 Mobile and Desktop.

I am developing a LOB web app using jquery mobile for Windows tablets. I was going to use the feature that was available on Windows 8 which is to take a picture on the file picker. and send the image in a form. However, since I updated yesterday my computer to win 8.1 there is no Camera App in the file picker anymore. I don't know if there is a way to have it back there. Or if there is another photo app that implements the filepicker contract.
Thanks
