Windows Phone 8 Forum App

Post#1 » Wed Jul 02, 2014 1:22 pm

Greetings

I've been meaning to do this for quite some time and will get around to start it sooner or later.

I will be starting the development of an app, initially targeted at the Windows Phone 8 platform. This app will parse the forum in a manner so that it's mobile friendly. I have some experience with this having released in March, current year, an app that was doing the same with the StarBound game. That was however reading only 1 forum section.


Does anybody have a Windows Phone 8 ?


After I manage to do this (will take a few months) I will probably port it to Windows 8 OS, and maybe followed by an Android development...which would be quite complicated as I didn't have any Android phones, hah!

Sex. Not much really. I'm making a Windows Desktop program because its much much easier to test on that instead of going directly on the phone. Hmmmmm.... Maybe you can find more information on how to share in production apps to testers?

I'm not sure it's useful but it seems microsoft did publish some guidelines :

More specifically how to deploy testing on the phone itself and not the emulator :

I'll search some more information... But I think to test the app you need a registered phone for development ? I think mine is... I'm not sure.

Edit : looks like this link is more relevant : "After you develop an app, you can install it on one or more devices so that you can test it. The installation is temporary and is only meant to be used for testing purposes. When you’re ready to distribute your app for production use, you’ll have to either publish it to the Store or side-load it to devices"

You either publish it in the development center or you side-load it.

I hope this was what you were looking for :mrgreen:.

there's the windows mobile sdk.
For androids / apples. you will need to buy a developer licence to get access to the app stores etc. (keystores)
alternatively, look at using unity, free 4.5.1 should work fine in to get the app to the market places where you have to dl the apps from.
