Splash Screen with busy Indicator in worklight app - ibm-mobilefirst

I am working on a new app where it is needed to add a busy indicator or progressive bar in the splash screen . It is a hybrid app . So the implementation should in Web resources(html, js and css) and the app is done in worklight so the implementation should also be in worklight . Do you have any suggestion to solve this issue

In Hybrid applications the ability to control over the splash screen (= change its appearance, duration, and other things like that), is currently not possible in the manner you would like - by using HTML, JS, CSS...
The ability to do so (in Android and iOS only) will be introduced in Worklight 6.2, to be released in June 2014 (this month), where you could decide how and what to display. For example: An animation or a rotating set of images, etc.

Why is app icon missing for toast notifications in action center on desktop?

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

Question:
How can I change the ICON for the App inside MobileFirst Quality Assureance?
My question is very simple: Inside MobileFirst Quality Assureance you have a App list http://[YOURSERVER]/companies/2/application/list/.
How can you change the ICON for a APP in the MFQA server?
MobileFirst Quality Assurance will show the icon that was added to the app. It does not provide a way to change the icon in the All Apps console.

Can you build a Windows 8 Live Tile that Launches A Website Instead of a Metro App?

Live Tiles are the "front door" for metro apps on Windows 8. Can you instead launch a website instead of a Metro app?
Could you write an app that just does one thing, and that is to launch the browser with the specified Uri:
Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("http://my.website.com"));
That has the advantage that it is represented as a traditional app rather than a pinned site, so you can style the tile as you wish.
The closest thing I could find is pinned sites or site tiles.
It doesn't look like you can customize the look and feel of these site tiles, but you can update them with notification counts.

Questions about Sencha Touch

I have done some project using Sencha Touch -> www.estof.net/sencha (php + sencha). I want to ask you guys some questions:
a) I want to create app using sencha and upload to iPad. My app will work only if i connected to wifi or whatever internet?
b) For example i did some application, draw icon. Can I put it on iPad? Then click on icon and my application will work? (will be nice if app tried even to connect to Internet, but APP ICON will be on iPad)
c) Or sencha using only as a web-site?
Sencha apps can work in offline mode. This is done by using a manifest file to cache the required files. This will explain more about it. This is another tutorial using phone gap.
Yes you can create app icons for your apps. In this link, you can see an attribute named 'icon' which specifies the images to be used as the icon. In safari when you take your site, and press the option button on the bottom, there is an option to 'ADD to Home Screen'. This option will add the icon to the home screen.
If you go to the sencha forums and check their showcase section you can see many apps that are actually sold in the app store.
The upcoming version of Sencha is said to have their own api's to access native feature of a phone os. Its more detailed on their website.
