Windows App Store

Some of you CPians must have published UWP based apps to the Windows App store. It will be interesting to read of your experiences here in the Lounge, if you care to share it. :)
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I've experienced some quite strange folk in the lounge, and oh, the APOD really are amazing. (well it is what you asked for.)

I have always found publishing apps on the Windows store a lot of fun! As feedback, the community that 'passes' apps has become more strict of late - they scrutnize apps a lot more. It takes 3-4 days minimum to get an app certified the first time.

Never saw that but looking up the exact quote proves me right :laugh: Quark: You wound me. All these years together, I thought you knew me. Odo, I am not a killer! Odo: No, but most of your friends are.

Wrong quote!
DUKAT: Your son is not here, Commander
SISKO: Dukat.
DUKAT: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
SISKO: Where is he?
DUKAT: Who? Your son? How would I know? I just (pause) Commander, you don't? Do you think that I would ever do anything to harm your son?
SISKO: I think you're capable of anything.
DUKAT: You wound me, sir. I'm here as your friend.
SISKO: Sisko to Kira.
DUKAT: Please do not do anything hastily, Commander. We must talk in private.DS9 S02E20 "The Maquis, Part 1"

The first rule about the Windows App Store, is that you don't talk about the Windows App Store.

Dear Friend: I don't come from the future to scold you. I only come from the past to remind you of what happened. In the future you are on your own and don't blame me for you mistakes. Lets get started. So, oh oh... the Windows Store... that undiscovered country where you can't walk into.. at least if you are not prepared for misery, madness, despair and loneliness... The common thread, my friend is that developing in the newer Microsoft UI frameworks feels exactly like those movies where you have to small heroes being led by a Ghost across a harmless looking green pasture towards a high cliff where the ultimate reward is (kinda like Lord of the Rings)... The plot twist is that the Ghost doesn't follow along with them... the blink and suddenly the Spirit is miles away in an exactly parallel path and ironically a few feet behind (in the horizontal plane) from where the two guys are. So the poor fellows have to turn sideways, walks lots of miles and then WALK BACK SOME HUNDRED FEET and then continue the pace with the mighty long lost warrior. That's exactly what my team felt when we finished a WPF super project and saw Microsoft move towards Silverlight... we were foolish enough to follow and it took 6 to 7 months to port all our project to SL.... after three fast paced releases SL progress just stopped and we were left wondering what had happened... Then came Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight again was on the spotlight... but it was a wholly different SL, so called 7, but basically based on 3, but supposedly the basis for Silverlight 5 which wasn't released at the time WP7 arrived. This time we weren't so fool and thankfully we didn't have a need for a mobile application. Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 came and two different versions of Metro appeared. Not one was similar to Silverlight not remotely similar to XAML (WPF). What's mind numbing is the fact that the XML schema, which is the way you validate things in XML hasn't changed since WPF.... its still: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation\](http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation). So now that the Ghost has moved hundreds of miles to the East in almost a straight line and that the mountain is still leagues ahead and you haven't left the grassy knoll and you're attempting to start again but now with Universal? Windows Platform (isn't that spot already taken by Win32 which runs in everything from Windows 95 up until Windows 10), I tell you my friend: DON'T DO IT!!! THERE'S NOTHING THERE F
