Has anyone been able to use web images with the Tiles and Badges App sample? - windows-8

I've been trying to get my app's tile to display an image from the web, but couldn't get it to work. I then tried the Tiles and Badges app sample, where in scenario 3 you can send a tile notification that uses a web image. No matter which image url I paste in the text box, the tile refuses to get updated. So apparently, the sample isn't working either, or something is very wrong.
The images are all smaller than 1024x1024 and less than 200KB. Fun fact: if I download one of the images I unsuccesfully tried to feed the sample, add it to the project and then send a notification using it as a local image, the tile gets updated. So apparently the image isn't the problem.
Has anybody been able to get this working? I don't get what I'm doing wrong.

Do have internet permission ticket in app manifest? Maybe only your app dont have permission to download your image from web.

In App Store Connect, app preview poster frame not saving

I've added some video app previews for my app on App Store Connect and when I set the video poster frame, it never saves the image that I want, it always reverts back to the one that Apple defaults to initially. Does anyone know a work around?
UPDATE: I did get in contact with App Store Connect and they told me it's a recent bug that they're actively working on fixing. I'm going to touch base with them early next week.
Issue is still happening. But if you want to be able to upload without problems try this:
Upload the screenshots of one complete language
Don't touch anything for 2-4 min once pictures are uploaded.
Then you can refresh the webpage and check if the screenshots are well uploaded.

Xamarin forms Carrousel and take a picture async

I have been trying to replace my carrousel images with t new photos from my phone camera or album, but for some binding reason, they don't display on the carousel.
I am using Xamarin Media Plugin.
any picture I select should display on the carousel. I have been trying everything in here. IMAGE URL works fine, stored images in the resources folder, works as well. but, for some reason display the images from the media is been a nightmare.
You can clone my sample project # GITHUB
I will appreciate Any help.
Looking at the GITHUB project, easy to understand why no relevant code here, it will require the whole sample project. It seems the carousel is not getting updated when uploading an image, binding?? I am still checking.

I'm trying to implement a Xamarin local image on my App, but it's not working

I'm trying to add a local image in my Xamarin app, but it's not working. Do you know what I could've have missed?
I have added the XAML and c# code but that still does not work.
XAML - <Image x:Name="Background_Image" Source="backgroundimage.png"/>
C# - var image = new Image { Source = "backgroundimage.png" };
I have followed the proper practices to a tee from the Xamarin Images documentation, but it's still not working. Link to Xamarin Documentation on Images - (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/images?tabs=vswin#Local_Images)
I have made sure the file name is
All in lowercase,
The build action is AndroidResource of the image
The image has been placed in the Resources/drawable folder.
Which are all the conventions you must follow, but it doesn't seem to work.
The image's file size is 1.28mb and resolution is 1920x1080 if that matters. I have tested with a much smaller 4KB image but does not work either.
I am using the Xamarin Live Player to show the app, the phone uses API 19, Android 4.4
I apologise if this is a duplicate, but I have read many topics here but I have not been able to fix it.
It does seem to be a issue or limitation with Xamarin's own Live player. I have launched the App with the Android Emulator and the Image is displaying, I'll report it as a bug.
