On Windows Phone 7 you can do like this to get an anonymous unique id for the current user.
UserExtendedProperties.GetValue("ANID")
I have search for a while to find an equivalent for my current Windows 8 (WinRT), but I can't seem to find it. All the results I find, talks about how to get a Hardware/device specific ID, which IS supported, it's just not what I need.
Thanks in advance,
Mads
Found out, thanks to xamlgeek an others, that it's not possible to get a Unique User Id in Windows 8 - at least for now.
So I have to fallback on Device Id, which is far from what I needed, but found this code snippet with works perfect (C#):

The answer is not good at all, because the user can upgrade his PC config (by pluging a bluetooth adapter or anything else). The good answer is to use the object :
Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings.Values["HighPriority"]
It's synchronized through the different installation of the apps on the cloud, more infos here :
The HighPriority key is special because it's get automatically during the new installation of the app.

It's unwise to use GetPackageSpecificToken. This ID will change even if user just plug USB device into his PC/tab, or turn Wifi on/off. Actually it's a quite unstable thing, no idea why MSFT has ever made it.
I use LiveConnect instead (only Liveconnect user ID is needed and it's the same on all user devices). It much more reliable. See my post here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22389679/1656824

I am trying to test ODL-SDNiApp and found it not updated since Helium on this page https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/ODL-SDNiApp:User_Guide. So, is it still supported by Opendaylight? if not, please list me some useful tools or methods for inter SDN controller communication.
Thanks.
According to the project page https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/ODL-SDNi_App:Main, it last participated in the Boron release but it doesn't look like it's been active since. You can try the project mailing list or contact the listed committers. If it is inactive as it appears, perhaps you might want to try to reboot it.
I got problem with my company internal extension. They don't want to publish it, as it does gather data on external server. So I need to host it myself... but would like not to lose ability of autoupdate.
As far as I read I need to use update_url in manifest, but nothing more is said in Opera documentation...
"update_url": "http://path/to/updateInfo.xml", - as it is said in documentation page
Ok... and what should I put in that xml? Will it autoupdate or just notify users about new updates? Where do I put rest of updated files?
I tried to concat Opera itself about this question, but they don't give any contact information except something like if you have problem, ask on stackoverflow... so here I am.
If it does not work, I was thinking about really BAD method, using unsafe-eval and keeping newest version in local storage... but would rather like to avoid that.
In general the behavior is the same as for Chrome. You can base on this document: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/autoupdate
I'm running rpcapd on a Raspberry which serves as a WiFi access point to trace/sniff network traffic by WiFi users.
I can run rpcapd in null authentication mode and access the interfaces from my windows machine using wireshark and it works perfect.
However, I'd like to expose these capture interfaces to multiple users and i thought it might be good to not use null authentication but have at least a little barrier for unwanted users.
If i don't use the "-n" argument, what is the user/pass? I searched Google but i can not really find a source which leads me to the answer.
I tried creating a second user which has a password and ran rpcapd from this users but still if i use these users Linux credentials, wireshark tells me it can not find any interfaces. When i re-run rpcapd with the -n argument everything works.
So... i must have overseen something!? What is the username and password for non null authentication operation or where can i specify one?
Thanks a lot!
Let me know if you need further info to help. Thanks!
When not using RPCAP_RMTAUTH_NULL authentication it will instead use the other type, RPCAP_RMTAUTH_PWD : https://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_412/html/group__remote__auth__methods.html
And according to some old copy of the manual I found (ftp://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/.vhost/winpcap.polito.it/301a/docs/group__remote__auth__methods.html) which helpfully listed code references : "Referenced by daemon_checkauth(), and rpcap_sendauth()."
..which leads us to to the code that does the authentication : ftp://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/.vhost/winpcap.polito.it/301a/docs/daemon_8c-source.html#l00626
I downloaded the source (http://www.winpcap.org/install/bin/WpcapSrc_4_1_3.zip) to check it was still current and found in file "wpcap\libpcap\rpcapd\daemon.c" the current information for "daemon_AuthUserPwd" which shows not much has changed.
Hope this helps :-)
I'm about to create an application that uses JSON to update its content.
This is how I planned it to work:
When application starts, it checks (with internet connection is available) if the JSON file set on remote server is newer than the one stored localy - if it is then it's downloaded.
Then, the application applies data from that JSON to the content. For example, to the "Contact" information - it applies data like phone numbers etc.
My question is, is it in your opinion, a good technique to update appliactions content?
Does anynone had an experience with building app with this kind of idea?
Best regards,
Zin
Of course you can do this. One thing that may lead to a better user experience would be to ask the user for his permission to download new content (if there is something new).
This is a normal thing to do. I have a phonebook app that does exactly this. On a side note, if you need a network class to handle the web-service interaction, see this SO post. I wrote a custom network class that works with AFNetworking.
Is it possible to do a search for apps by title via the API? For example, the equivalent of "Return a list of apps (if any) with the word 'dog' in the title".
I've seen two access points that come close, but don't seem to offer this:
The RSS feed; it lists apps, but apparently only groupings like, "top 100..."
The query interface; but it doesn't seem to query over the app media type. (?)
I found the answer. Although not explicitly documented, it's possible to search by app name.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html
You're right, it wasn't very clear on that iTunes page at all. The parameter entity=software is the key. For example, here's a search for my app, TypeLink:
http://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=software&term=typelink&callback=myCallbackFunction
If you're wondering what the callback is for, here's some more info on the JSONP format it uses:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP
For any future person who wants to link to the App Store keyword search result page directly from a web link - this format works as of April 2013:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/search?media=software&submit=media&term=KEYWORD%20GOES%20HERE
Was a PITA to figure out but finally got the syntax right... Needed this because a client has apps made by multiple developers so I couldn't just use the suggested Appstore.com/DeveloperName link to return all their apps.
Thanks all for sharing wisdom. Hope this helps someone.
