Gus Class on the Google+ Developer Relations team has done some work around Windows 8 and the .NET client library to show how to do some level of integration with Windows 8. The following is one example of how to authenticate a user and get Google+ data:

Integrating Microsoft Universal Ad Client SDK to native win32 desktop app

Is it possible to integrate Microsoft Universal Ad Client SDK to a native win32 app?
Does the Ad SDK work also in Win7 or Win8?
I am looking for a solution such as making a small EXE that I call from my application, that will simply display video ads and then quit.
if you're targeting Windows 8 and up, I would suggest to create a Windows Store app hosting the Ad control and launch this app using a custom protocol
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/Hh779670(v=win.10).aspx
As an example, try to run (Windows+R) this on Windows 8 :
bingmaps:?q=restaurant&where=Paris
Universal SDK can only be referenced on Universal Apps.
As you are asking how to integrate a such SDK on a native Win32 app, you should look for an Ad SDK for native app.

How do I create a Gmail client for Windows 8/ 8.1?

Just upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 and found that there is no official GMail metro app. MetroMail isn't official, is it?
Anyway, so I was wondering what is required to create a GMail metro app. Does one need to have some kind of a contract with Google for the api?
I am a web developer and a GMail client seems to be a good way to start developing metro apps as well.

Spotify Web API for windows phone

I am developing Windows Phone 8 application, in which I want to get recommended tracks of the user of Spotify. I would like to add these tracks of the user into favourites of my application.
I need to login and get the track list and details which I can show in my application.
There is Spotify library available for Windows(Win32). Can this library be used for Windows Phone as well??
Please let me know if anyone know how to integrate spotify into Windows Phone.
Thanks,
Manmath
The Win32 libspotify library cannot be used on Windows phone, and the REST-based Web API isn't powerful to do what you're asking. Unfortunately, there isn't a full-featured API available for Windows Phone.
