I have recently come across Pex4Fun, which happened to be by downloading the Windows Phone App. I have been using this for a little while and assumed that if I went to the Pex4Fun website, I would be using the same account as on my phone because I would be logging in with the same Windows ID as used on the phone. This doesn't appear to have happened. Does anyone know if there is a way of linking the phone account and website account/windows ID so that I can switch between phone and website and have my points tracked?

We have developed an app using Xamarin Forms which targets iOS, Android and Windows Phone. We are using camera feature to take/select photos to be uploaded to the app and the feature works well on all three mentioned platforms.
We have some users facing issues on few windows devices. When a user tries to download the app from Windows App Store, they receive following error:
"This app is not available for your phone because it requires front facing camera”
I have attached screen shot showing the error for reference. The screen shot is taken from Nokia Lumia 635. Our finding that this device has only back camera, no front camera and we believe this might be the reason for above mentioned issue.
Ideally, users should not get this error as this device has back camera and they still can get the photos.
Is this a known issue in windows phone world?
Can this be fixed from code, device permissions?
Is this a device specific problem?
Any ideas?
Detailed explanation:
Windows 8.1 targeted app package bundle for x86 and ARM architectures was uploaded to the Windows Store;
Windows Store approved it as a valid app, and published it using targeted distribution (Beta release for specific e-mail addresses), and gave me two different links for each Store: Windows 10 - www.microsoft.com/store/apps/some_code; Windows 8 - apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/some_other_code;
Both links redirect to the same page in the web version of Windows Store (and instantly opens the Store App with the game page open): www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/games/game-name/another_code;
When you click the Windows 10 store link on Windows 10 machine, the Store App opens, and app is downloaded smoothly and easily;
BUT when you open the link to the Windows 8.1 Store on a Windows 8.1 machine, Store App opens, refreshes one time, but instead of displaying the app page, it shows the Home page, and you cannot download the app at all from the official Windows 8.1 Store, even though the browser page includes Windows 8.1 in supported OS'es list;
Some additional comments:
in both machines I am connected to the Store using an account, which is in the list of targeted distribution partners (e.g. in the "whitelist" of beta users);
App is working normally both on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 when I am installing them using the ".ps1" PowerShell script Visual Studio generates when building a release package;
I tried to change regions in the Store (UK, LT, US, etc.), but none of them works.
If you need more information - comment, I will try to explain more details :)
Finally, I have found an answer here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/set-app-pricing-and-availability
"If you want to hide your app in the Store but still make it available to certain people, select one of the following options to limit your app's availability. Note that customers on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 won't be able to get the app at all if you choose any of these options."
Since our app was hidden, e.g. "targeted distribution" (with certain e-mail addresses in the "white-list"), we couldn't test the app in the Windows 8.1 store. (Don't ask why, but..) Microsoft does not allow this functionality on Windows 8.1 machines, as mentioned in the article above.
Our Apple account have multiple apps(25), for multiple countries (15). I want to share all those apps with a colleague. But this colleague can't download the apps because of the country restrictions. I also don't want to build 25 apps (which some need old xcode versions and old sdk's)
I tried if you are a admin in your iTunes Connect account to download this app, but it failed. Also I tried to send a existing app by TestFlightApp in ITC, but this is also not possible. Also promo codes is not working.
Any suggestions?
I created application and want that name of application in Windows Phone Marketplace will be another that on device.
How can I do it?
The App Manifest Designer will allow you to change the name of your app with how it appears when installed on a device. To set the name of the app in the marketplace you do so when you are submitting it through the Windows Phone Developer Dashboard.
Hey Stackoverflow People,
I'm working on implementing the UAAppReviewManager tool developed by Urban Apps (which is basically a super version of Appirater) into my app to have a rating and feedback function. I have devices (running iOS 5/6) where I've tested the Rate feature of the tool and its been able to properly redirect the user to the App Store after they select Rate the App from the pop-up dialogue, but for devices using iOS 7, it redirects the user to the App Store app and displays a pop-up saying the following:
The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "ax.itunes.apple.com" which could put your confidential information at risk.
Has anybody used this tool on iOS 7 and encountered this message before? If so, does anyone know what the workaround is? It seems iOS 7 processes things differently underneath with URLs and I'm not doing anything different or specific for earlier versions.
I am the developer of UAAppReviewManager. iOS 7 does not allow this url anymore so it was changed to a new value for iOS 7 in UAAppReviewManager. Update to the most recent (0.1.3) as of this writing and you should be fine
