How can I get the information which device the end user is using atm?
It would be enough for me to know whether the user is using iOS, Android, etc.
I've created a Movelet for testing purposes which connects and reads from a useragent api. But it does not return the expected information.
The right MEL method for that task would be
numeric getClientType()
Return values are numeric codes that indicate the platform. To list some of them (rest can be found in the documentation):
11 Android
20 WinMobile CF 2.0
21 WinMobile CF 3.5
22 WinPhone 8.0
31 Desktop standard
32 Desktop standard FX
33 Desktop standard native
50 BlackBerry

I have an iOS application codename One, which is running in normally iPhone 5 and 6, which use the iOS operating system version 10.
However, that my app is not working on iPhone 4 and 4s, which use the iOS operating system 9.
Any idea what might be happening?
Thanks in advance.
Apps should work fine all the way back to OS 6.0 without a problem (Apple made the cutoff of 6.0 mandatory).
I'm guessing you failed at the install stage which could mean one of the following:
Missing or incorrect UDID setting - if you got the device UDID from an app it's probably incorrect if it's not in the provisioning well... it's missing.
Previously installed app with the same package/id either from the appstore or a previous build with a difference certificate
Parental control settings or corporate restriction limiting installs
Apple OTA install bug - the workaround for this is simple, connect the device with a cable and try to install the IPA thru itunes. Sometimes it starts working OTA after doing this once (FYI: OTA == Over the air)
I am using Unity 5.2.0. I developed my game for iOS and android. my android size is 23 MB. I upload and publish my game on apple store, and size is 142 MB for iPhone, 140 MB for iPad, and 43 MB on my macbook iTunes app. What is the reason/problem?
There can be many reasons. The most significant could be unity's new il2cpp compiler wich generates much bigger builds on ios devices than mono.
There are many threads on the official forums about this topic. Take a look here and here
Based on what I read here, in order to install CF version 2 on my handheld device, I should copy over one of the cab files here:
...but which one?
The device in question is a Symbol 3090, which currently has only CF version 1.0.3316.00 (1.0 SP2) installed. The OS version of the device is 05.00.1400
The device CPU is presumably 'ARMV4I' as a similar device (Motorola 3190) says that it is equipped with such.
UPDATE
Based on what I see here when I click "this link" here:
-- OR -- If you have Windows Mobile 5 or newer on your device, click this link and save the file to the desktop of your computer.
...it seems "NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab" is probably the best choice.
Any refutations?
UPDATE 2
I copied the file I reckoned to be the one, and clicked it on the device, but:
What in Sam L. Clemens' illustrious memory is going on here?!?
UPDATE 3
I then copied over the other file from the link above, which was slightly different (2.12MB as opposed to 2.14MB, for one thing), and tried to run it, and got the same err msg as above.
UPDATE 4
Trying to install from the last link, I see:
UPDATE 5
Actually, it turns out that what I might really need is to install CF version 1 after a cold boot of the device...but I don't know if version 1 of CF is still available. That's the only version the existing .exe will run on, but my PC only has cab files for versions 2 and 3.5...???
UPDATE 6
In the most recent version of the .exe (builds and compiles, but won't run on either device), it has three, count 'em three mscorlibs in its References area; the versions are:
1.0.5000.0
2.0.0.0
3.5.0.0
They all have the same public key token (the same as shown in the screen shot)
The only other multi-reference is System, which has both version 2 and 3.5
AND, below System.Xml, there are three coredll.dlls, albeit spelled differently:
coredll.dll
CoreDll.dll
CoreDll.DLL
(no info for any of them...???)
UPDATE 7
I copied NETCFv2.wce4.ARMV4.cab to the 3090.
I 2-clicked it on the device, but got this:
And so, I retreated (selected "No").
Thus continue unabated the travails of an accidental handheld developer.
UPDATE 8
The project is set to Framework Version == v2.0, Platform == Windows CE, Target Device == Windows Mobile 6 Classic Emulator (one of the few emulator choices I have), and the output shows that it is ARMV4i that is being deployed:
Deploying '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Devices\wce500\ARMV4i
\sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB'
Deploying '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Devices\wce500\ARMV4i
\sqlce.repl.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB'
Deploying '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Devices\wce500\ARMV4i

Deploying 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola EMDK for .NET\v2.8\SDK\Smart Devices\wce500\armv4i\symbol.all.arm.cab'
And when I run the .exe in the emulator, it fails with, "Error - An unexpected error has occurred in Platypus.exe
Select Quit and restart this program, or select Details for more information.
This application requires a newer version of the MS .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device."
Selecting the "Details" button augments the mental anguish with, "TypeLoadException
This application requires a newer version of the MS .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device."
Assuming your are using the WinCE 4.2 version of the 3090 (it comes in 4.2 and 5.0), you should proceed with the install using NETCFv2.wce4.ARMV4.cab. "The program is not compatible..." message is a warning only, and not a very smart one. There is even a way to edit the cab to remove that warning if you wanted to, though my memory fails me on the exact way to do it. I've had to do it to allow a silent install before (otherwise the nag screen gets in your way).
First you need to figure out what version of CE you are running. You can find this by going to System Properties. Also while you are in System Properties note what processor you are running ( arm, mips ...). If you are running windows ce 4.2 or higher you will pick a cab file out of the wce400 folder. If you are running windows CE 5.0 or higher you will pick a cab file out of the wce500 folder. Note you can't install .net 2.0 on windows ce 4.1 or lower, according to Microsoft documentation, however, I have noticed that the minimum version setting on the cab files is 4.0, so you might be able to hack it.
Like I said before on also the System Properties page is the type of processor you are using. From that select the appropriate sub-folder in either wce400 or wce500. In most of the folders for each processor there should be only one cab file. If there is more than one cab file see if the file name contains wm for windows mobile, wce for windows ce, or ppc for pocket PC and pick the one most appropriate for you.
You can also take the guess work out of this whole process by creating an ini file with the fallowing text and using ceappmgn.exe to pick and install the right cab file for you.

I have a big problem.
I wrote an app for Windows Phone 7.1+, and it's also published on Windows Phone Store:
this app works well for Windows Phone 7.1 and also for Windows Phone 8, and there were no problems during app submission process (who also declares that my app is fully compatible with any OS since Windows Phone 7.5).
The problem is related only to my Scheduled Agent, which runs perfectly on Windows Phone Mango (7.1), but it is not firing at all on Windows Phone 8 (I've also tested my app on real devices, with both the OS').
When I upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 (Express for Windows Phone), I've noticed that it is possibile to add two different types of ScheduledTaskAgent project: one for Windows Phone 7.5 and one for Windows Phone 8 (obviously it wasn't so in Visual Studio 2010...and I used the only one available = the first) !
Dou you think this can be the reason while the scheduled agent is not working in WP8?
What's the difference between the two projects types?
How to manage (in code I mean) two projects of that type? Is it possible?
How can I choose which task I have to register (see code below)?
Will the submission process fail with two ScheduledTaskAgent projects (I think so)?
This is the critical part of the code, when I'm registering my task at startup:
PeriodicTask newTask = new PeriodicTask("MyTaskID");
newTask.Description = "my Description";
ScheduledActionService.Add(newTask);
#if DEBUG
Microsoft.Phone.Scheduler.ScheduledActionService.LaunchForTest("MyTaskID", TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
#endif
Thank you in advance.
The only difference between the two project types is (1) the Windows Phone 8 one targets Windows Phone 8 instead of 7.1 and (2) it references the Windows Phone 8 SDK instead of the Windows Phone 7 dlls.
I have an application where I have two projects (7.1 and 8.0). I also have two background agent projects (7.1 and 8.0) and I share code between them using linked files. I reference the 8.0 agent from the 8.0 project and the 7.1 agent from the 7.1 project. I used this example as a best practice for having the two versions of code.
You do not want to reference two agents since that will not work.
If you remove the #if DEBUG does your agent get called when you're debugging?
First make sure you got the proper reference in app manifest file.
<ExtendedTask Name="BackgroundTask">
<BackgroundServiceAgent Specifier="ScheduledTaskAgent" Name="MyApp.Agent" Source="MyApp.Agent" Type="MyApp.Agent.ScheduledAgent" />
</ExtendedTask>
Second the Agent library must be referenced in the main app project.
Third, make sure you are not exceeding the allowed running time or memory allocation. In WP8 the cap for background agent was raised to 11MB. Also there is a limit of app with registered background tasks, so it might be possible that there was no free slot for your task with bg agent.
I have used software named my mobiler which displays the screen of any Windows Mobile connected to a desktop PC and allows the user to control the mobile from the desktop.
Are there other similar software available in the market for S60 or Series 40 Nokia mobiles.
My Mobiler is very cool - like Remote Desktop but for a phone.
The Nokia PC Connectivity API doesn't quite do the same thing, as it provides a set of APIs to let you control the phone and get data from it. Neither do the Series 40 or Series 60 emulators, as the phone is emulated rather than real.
Given the significant technology differences between S60, S40 and Windows, I'd be surprised to see this change any time soon.
Now, Maemo (as running on the N900) is a different kettle of fish altogether. Quite remarkably someone has ported VNC there which should do the job just nicely.
