Deploy on Windows Phone 7 in App Hub unsupported country - silverlight

I would like to debug and deploy the application on the Windows Phone 7 device in order to test and debug it. But to do that I need to register my phone(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff769512%28v=vs.92%29.aspx) and for that I need to be registered as a developer on App Hub (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff769508%28v=vs.92%29.aspx), but my country is not on the list of supported countries yet.
So just to start to play with the OS and deploy on device development I need to wait? Here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/hh286410%28v=VS.92%29.aspx) is mentioned the APPA market – would this be a way to register and get the phone being registered as a developer phone?
Thanks a lot

Yes, as you mentioned, the way to publish from (and test in) countries which are not currently supported by the App Hub or Marketplace is via the Global Publisher Program.

Can Alexa (echo dot) access a skill that is still in the development mode?

I've found this amazing site to generate my first Alexa skill.
I've uploaded the standard template they have and it passes all the checks.
Please note that this skill has not published yet
and When I say (to the device), Alexa, open api starter, Alexa (device) cannot find that. I have an echo dot 2nd gen.
Do we need to publish a skill to be available for the Alexa device?
In my test mode, I've already enabled the Test for this skill.
Yes, you can use the skill locally for development purposes. If you go to the Alexa apps you should see your app located in there and you can then install it. Once installed you can ask Alexa to open the app.
Although, you can't use other peoples apps that are in development because the app is associated with the Amazon account.
You need to register your device to the development account that you are using.
Once logged in from your development account go here (alexa.amazon.com)
Go to the settings tab and click set up a new device
You will be guided through simple instructions on how to connect your device.
Once you successfully connected the device, you can use all skills from your developer account.
Note: You can have more devices connected to the same developer account, but each device can be connected to just one developer account at a time.
Unfortunately this doesn't work all the time - not sure if it's missing information (for instance on the Echo Screen you have to tap the serial number repeatedly to put the device into dev mode - there doesn't seem to be the same thing for the dot - and if there is it's not mentioned here.)
It could also just be the sheer number of variables in both the alexa ecosystem, the app and what phone it is on and the network the device is connected to and the dec console. One set of instructions doesn't always cover all the possibilities.'
I have found that when using the skill kit with vscode that I have to go into the web-based skill editor and do a build before it works with an echo device.

How to access files and folders for uwp app on a mobile device

How can app files be accessed for uwp apps on a mobile device. This tutorial, https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/06/08/using-the-app-file-explorer-to-see-your-app-data/, explains using App File explorer. I follow the steps, enabling device portal and device discovery. With the IP address of the phone I can't connect to the phone from Google Chrome because of security. Microsoft edge allows me to connect with the pin after a warning about the security certificate but the phone does not show a new pairing , and the device portal only has a few of the options from the tutorial, not File Explorer (http://imgur.com/a/likYI).
Connecting by usb does not show app folders (http://imgur.com/a/YBejt)
Thank you.
Please check your Mobile OS version and upgrade to the latest RTM
And you can also use Device Portal core REST API
For example:
Get known folders - Obtain a list of accessible top-level folders.
Method | Request URI
-------|------------
GET | /api/filesystem/apps/knownfolders
I upgraded and can now access File explorer with Edge. But not by usb, is that normal?
Please follow this guidance to Set up device portal on Windows Phone

Mobile detection in a website

I want a scenario where in I have a website and when I connect my mobile device to my pc or laptop, the website must be able to detect the phone and not the phone browser. As in it should detect if my phone is an iphone or any other mobile device. How can I achieve this?
Basically if I have a downloadable application and a list of compatible devices and when a device is connected, a compatibility check needs to be done and the software has to be downloaded directly! Is this possible?
you must build an APP and not a WebAPP or website.
the browser cant send relevant information such MacAddress or IMEI then you cannot do it with a simple website.
In javascript you can detect navigation browser and it has some extra information about the kind of device (like Android, Motorola, etc). For example this.

How can I check the usage of my iphone app in itunes connect?

How can I check the usage of my iPhone app in iTunes connect?
For example, the number of times the application has been launched on the user's iPhone.
You can't see more info in iTunes connect then the number of downloads, by date and by country
To see more, you'd need a third party analytics library built into your app, but I don't know what Apple's policies are. I've heard that Flurry is a decent analytics library, but I don't use it.
