I have a use case for Windows Phone 8.1: user would like to search for records with phone number of a missed call in my custom WP app. There are URI associations in WP, but apparently no way to integrate into phone's call log. Are there any wor karounds to get information from phone call history (log)?
The call log history is not available to general purpose (as opposed to OEM and Mobile Operator) apps on Windows Phone.
You can request or vote on features such as this on the Windows Platform Dev Feedback site at http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-dev-platform?query=call%20log%20api .

Assuming I integrate Agora in my website (PC + mobile hybrid app that wraps a mobile-web site).
Will it be able to listen for users joining a channel while the client is not browsing the website?
Meaning, can it work inside a service worker on both PC and mobile?
I need a reliable way to have voice calls between users on my web application even when they are not using the website.
If you create a WebView or just open an iframe of the website then the user's video is turned off when the app is closed even if the microphone permissions are off.
The user is still on call and can track people joining but as soon as you close the browser, your video stream disappears for the other users.
To have background based workflow, I recommend you use the native SDKs for the app as well as desktop applications and implement them with the same App Id to maintain consistency.
An alternative solution is to use the RTM SDK as the RTM SDK allows you to send messages even in the background if the user is logged in and has joined the channel.
I am building a React Native application for calling using RingCentral APIs.First of all I tried using the webphone RTC via web browser: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-web-phone. It works perfectly fine in web browsers. But the thing I need is to call via react-native application I am building.
I tried calling via RingCentral using 'ring out call' POST API and 'call control- make callout' post api(beta version).But the problem i am facing is when i integrate these apis to react-native applications : To have a two way communication I need to be online in the web phone .Then when i call from react native it goes to the web phone first.And then when I dial 'answer' it redirects to the number i want to call to.Then only I can have a two-way communication.
So, what do I do if I want to directly call via react-native application to the recipient directly?
P.s. If I am not online in the web phone from browser the call automatically goes to the voicemail.
So hard to understand your question from the title and the detailed description.
I guessed that you want to implement a functional phone using react native where you want to use the RingCentral WebRTC SDK to handle incoming and outgoing phone calls.
First of all, please mind the browser compatibility supported by the WebPhone SDK. Secondly, it is not trivial and I cannot support you on the react-native part. However, RingCentral provides an easy way to embed a RingCentral embeddable phone to any webpage and that app is an open source project. You can use the embeddable as such or clone the project and learn from the code or modify it to meet your requirements.

I have a requirement to open the native version of the hybrid app (.ipa/.apk/.appx) when the hybrid app is requested in a device browser.
I am able to detect the environment using WL.Client.getEnvironment(); method, if it is found to be Android/iPad, I want to launch the respective .apk/.ipa file in the device. Any help is appreciated.
Re-reading this question and the comments several times... I still do not understand the actual scenario... it'd be best to rephrase it.
Scenario: How to open an app from the web browser:
If you have added the following environments to your Worklight application:
Mobile Web
Android
iPhone
And when visiting the Mobile Web version of your app, you want to display a message like "For the full experience, open the full application by clicking here".
Then:
It is implied that the user already has the application installed.
If it is not installed, you need to take care of that somehow
The way to handle this scenario is to use URI schemas:
For Android: How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android
This means that after adding the custom URI schema to AndroidManifest.xml, you could then detect the device OS the Mobile Web app is currently running on and display a custom link: myapp://<the URI schema you've defined>. Tapping it will open the app installed on the device.
For iOS, in a similar fashion: https://coderwall.com/p/mtjaeq
Also see: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes
Alternate solution: If you are not sure if the app will be installed or not, then instead of using URI schemas you can always point to either Google Play or Apple App Store, to the app page; the user will then have either a "Open" or "Install" link.
Scenario: How to open an app from my own app
If you have a Worklight Hybrid application (Mobile Web is not a Hybrid application), and you want to open another application from within it, you can:
Use the same approach of URI schemas, or
Use Cordova plug-ins
I have created this Worklight 6.1.0 project to demonstrate:
Android - How to open, for example, the Android Settings app from your Worklight Hybrid app
iOS - How to check if Waze is installed and open it, and if it is not installed then to open Apple Maps instead.
See instructions.txt in the apps\test folder.
Are you asking that if the user via their device browser hits the webapp version of your app on the internet, the website will ask the user to fire up the native app on their device? kind of like what ebay does?
if that is what you want check out these pages
android:Launch custom android application from android browser
IOS:
iPhone - Open Application from Web Page
Are there any custom APIs for iBeacon access from mobile web applications? Probably it could be a mobile safari extension.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, no.
You could write a native iOS app that looks for iBeacons in the background and launches a specific web app URL on mobile Safari. You could even pass ranged beacon info in query parameters.
But you would still need a native app installed on the phone to do this. And once the Safari page is launched, getting further updates is impossible, unless you use a complex web service proxy to the native app.
I am a newbie in Windows Phone development. Could someone please help me with the below questions with respect to Windows Phone 8.
Company Hub: I assume that this will be a custom application that works as a store/catalog for other company applications (plus additional company information). This has to be developed either by the company itself, or by a vendor for the company. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Company Hub is invoked by going to Settings ->Company Apps. Again, please correct me.
In some videos, I have seen people logging into "Company Apps" by clicking on an "Add Account" button (Settings ->Company Apps). What is this account? It just asks for an email address and password.
How is MDM (Mobile Device Management) implemented in WP8 devices? Is it using the WNS (Windows Notification Services), just like Apple's APNS? Is there a documentation available for implementing MDM in WP8?
If this is handled using WNS, then what actions can be performed on a remote Windows Phone 8 device? Is there available a list of commands?
Saw few examples using Exchange ActiveSync. Some product companies have their own Administration Portal to setup ActiveSync configurations. How can this be done?
You are correct
You are correct
AFAIK the company account is autodetected, based on the email address that user provides. Companies must get certificate from Symantec in order to use Company Apps. Check out also Applications Enrollment Token from MSDN
Documentation for MDM API is currently (09.Nov 2012) not yet publicly available.
You can check out press releases from MobileIron or AirWatch - see what they promise - that covers the API possibilities
Update: Google 2WP8_Enterprise_Device_Management_Protocol.pdf".
The Settings->Company Apps is where you add your company's hub but once you add it it will show up as an app in the app list and can be pinned to the start screen.
It's basically an app that can be used to show information and install other apps
Users in your company will need to authenticate themselves to get your company app. I'm not sure about the details there
