I'm trying to make a Windows 10 Universal App to make a third party tile for my Microsoft Band but it doesn't say in the documentation how to get my App to recognize the Band through USB. It only says how to do it through Bluetooth. The documentation also doesn't tell me how to access the GPS sensor. How do I do all these things?
To answer your first question, USB for the Band is used for charging. In order for you to test, you need to go through via Bluetooth. Your setup should be
Visual Studio > Launch App on your Device (mobile is connected to your laption via USB) > Test App on Mobile (which talks to Band via Bluetooth).
Note: Make sure Band is paired with the Mobile you are using to test.
To answer your second question, you can not subscribe to GPS on the band. It is not opened for thrid party app access. GPS is exclusive at this point.

I have the RX100-M3 camera, and it seems that some applications can be developed for it.
As far as I understand, the CameraRemoteAPI SDK can be used to develop Android or iOS applications. So is there a way to develop applications for the Sony camera?
I would like to develop a feature to be able to:
set the timer (from 2s to 2min)
select the number of shots (from 1 to 2000)
select the time between shots.
There is an existing "intervalometer" application but it is very expensive.
Camera Remote API SDK allows one to remotely control the supported Sony cameras including RX100M3 from any other device, by sending HTTP commands to the camera. The application you create can run from any
platform Android, iOS , Windows, PC, etc. You will have to connect this device to the camera over WiFi.
To get more information, please download the SDK, which contains sample applications and API documentation.

Is it possible to use WiFi Direct to connect to another device (Raspberry Pi) without tapping (NFC)?
The app needs to be able to find all WiFi Direct devices (Raspberry Pi's) in its vicinity, and by tapping one a connection is made to send strings.
The app needs to be able to detect new devices, that have never been paired with the phone before.
Windows Phone doesn't support WiFi direct communication from the SDK. Although it is available in Windows 8, its not yet present in phones.
According to Channel 9, MSDN
Windows 8 natively supports Wi-Fi Direct and has integrated the technology into the Windows 8 Play To and proximity sharing experiences.
However this doesn't apply for windows phone.
There are apps on the store which supports it, but I have no idea how to implement that in programming. Take a look at the process of using those apps

Can anyone tell me how apple handle submissions for bluetooth BLE enabled app. Actually, i have created a bluetooth iphone app which connects to third party device. And, I am not sure how apple is testing apps which connects to third party devices.
Object Lab has recently launched their first iOS app using iBeacon. It took them 3 attempts to get it approved. I would recommend you to create a video which demonstrates how your app works and send it to them.
Generally they ask for hardware as well but mostly it's not feasible for us to provide them with one. Object Lab had to send them instructions to setup hardware at their end and to test the app. THEY WILL NOT APPROVE UNLESS THEY KNOW ITS WORKING. So I would recommend to send a video and step by step instruction of how to setup hardware at their end to test it out.
My experience has been that a video demonstrating the use of the app while connected to your third party device is enough. Sending the device to them is not necessary (at least for all cases). I know there is another thread on stackoverflow.com concerning this very thing, but it's been months since I had found it and I can't find it now. Anyways, it has worked for me as well as acquaintances of mine who have an app on the store.
In my office I have 10 WiFi routers.I want to list all those(similar to Network icon in the system tray on windows 8) and connect/disconnect to one of them through Win Rt.
I tried these API
Windows::Networking::Connectivity::NetworkInformation::GetLanIdentifiers();
Windows::Networking::Connectivity::NetworkInformation::GetConnectionProfiles();
NetworkInformation::GetInternetConnectionProfile();
but these Api only list connected one, it doesn't list others
I can achieve this using http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms706716(v=vs.85).aspx. But I am not sure this Api will be supported on Windows 8 metro mode.
Does WinRt provides Api support for this ??
You cannot connect/disconnect to a network from a Windows App. You can only check informations. The reason is (for Microsoft) that the connection manager is accessible from your app through the charms bar.
This functionality is not exposed to Metro style applications. An operator's app can create profiles for their networks (with known SSIDs), but listing and connecting to visible networks is controlled by the user via the Windows connection management UI, not by an application. [Mike Bishop [MSFT], here]
The advanced connectivity functionnalities are present in Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators, which functionalities are only available to mobile operator apps and Windows Store apps given privileged access by mobile network operators.
Take a look at the Microsoft's Network information sample which shows what you can achieve with this API.
i'm an iOs developer and I actually need to make a mac application that use bluetooth framework to connect to another device (not iOS device).
I'm actually showing a modal view showing the connected bluetooth device with IOBluetoothDeviceSelectorController and I get the user choice with [modal getResults] but I don't know how to initiate the connection with the selected device and I can't find a simple way to do it on the mac dev library.
is anyone know a tutorial or sample code that could help me advance in my project?

The Mac Developer Library has two sample Bluetooth projects; connecting to a health thermometer and connecting to a heart rate monitor. There is also video available of the Advanced Core Bluetooth WWDC 2012 session.
