Windows app store download permissions

I developed an app for Windows phone. Now I want to deploy it on Windows app store and wants to put restriction.I want only specific people will able to install it. How can I do that. Any suggestion will be appropriated.
Thanks,
Well that depends on who these specific people are. You can set age restrictions and region restrictions, and that's about it.
If you mean you want to hand-pick users that can use your app, then provide a login screen where you manually authorize your registered users.
If you mean that only users you choose can download the app, then you can't use the Store; you'll need to use sideloading.
You can control distribution in the Distribution and Visibility section of your app submission on the developer dashboard.
There are three basic options (for Windows 10 - two for Windows Phone 8.x):
Hide this app and prevent acquisition. Customers with a promotional code can still download it on Windows 10 devices
Give codes to the people you want to be able to use the app. This is Windows 10 only.
Hide this app in the Store. Customers with a direct link to the app’s listing can still download it, except on Windows 8 and Windows
8.1
Send links to the people you want to use the app. This will work on Windows Phone 8.1 as well as Windows 10. Anybody with a link can download it though, so it won't truly limit to just the people you want to use the app.
Hide this app and make it available only to the people you specify below, who can download this app on Windows Phone 8.x devices. A
promotional code may be used to download this app on Windows 10
devices
This is the classic beta-mode for Windows Phone 8.x. You can specify which Microsoft Accounts have access to the app.

Google Apps Marketplace App with Chrome Extension

I would like to make a google chrome extension available through the Google Apps Marketplace. As far as I can tell, the extension complies with all the rules, uses oauth correctly and so on. But even though after an administrator enables our app we will have access to all the users in the account's oauth credentials and the individual users will see the app in the universal navigation menu, they won't have the extension installed for their browser. Is the usual way to deal with this issue to use the link in the universal navigation menu to direct users without the extension to a page where they are directed to install the extension?
Unfortunately the Google Apps Marketplace doesn't currently support the automatic installation of Chrome Extensions. Administrators can pre-install Chrome Extensions for their entire domain, but through a different process:

Google Apps Marketplace Enable Individual Install

The setting "Enable Individual Install" has recently been added in a Google Apps Markeptplace configuration, but I was not able to find its meaning. Does anyone has an idea ?
Thanks
I got an email from a google representative today with the following:
We’re excited to let you know that you will soon be able to enable anyone within an organization to install your app directly from the Google Apps Marketplace. To prepare for this new feature, you should choose whether to enable or disable individual user installs for your app.
Please follow these instructions to enable individual user installs:
Navigate to your Google Developer Console.
Select your Google Apps Marketplace project.
Click APIs under the APIs & auth section.
Click the gear icon next to Google Apps Marketplace SDK.
Check Enable Individual Install
Click Save changes.
This feature is only available for apps in Google Apps Marketplace that use OAuth 2.0. To learn how to upgrade your OAuth 1.0 app to OAuth 2.0, please see these upgrade instructions. Please also note, only individual users of Google Apps for Business, Google Apps for Education, and Google Apps for Government will be able to install your app.
This feature was announced today in a blog post. To quote:
Now, any Google Apps user can install these applications by logging into Google Apps, clicking the app launcher icon , clicking More, and then clicking More from Apps Marketplace.

Windows Phone Privacy policy default message when you install a location app?

I am building an app that uses the location service api.
However I am not sure if I have to implement the default Windows Phone Privacy policy message when you install an app? I have already done the permission functionality when a user starts using my app but I am not sure what to do with the installation message? Is it set by default when you set the category of your app via the submission wizard or not?
Microsoft will detect what services your app uses and prompt the user that your app includes these and ask them to confirm that they want to allow the installation to continue. So there's nothing you need to do in that respect.
I'm not sure in what extent you implemented your permission functionality within your app, but just to be sure: you need a Privacy Statement prompt on first launch, an option to turn off location services and a link to access the statement again. I didn't read the guidelines properly, thus dooming the certification of my app.

Install other applications in a WP7 application Programatically

What the WP7 application needs to do?
- download some others applications and install them automatically on the device.
The device will send first a request to a web server with some rules and will receive an answer containing the links to the applications that need
to be downloaded and installed on the device.
As far as I read, the Marketplace is the only way to get apps on a Windows Phone 7 device, so let's suppose that the applications I want to
install are already on the Marketplace and I can refer to each one by their links (according to this post).
Can I download programmatically an application from the MarketPlace (having the link to it) in another application and install it
on the device?
I do not want to open the app link in browser because this opens the Marketplace hub and points me to the application location.
Just for my curiosity: every time you want to install an application from Marketplace you need to sign in with a Windows Live ID?
Thanks & Regards,
Paul
You cannot dynamically download or execute code or install applications on WP7. The closest you can get is launching a MarketplaceDetailTask which directs the user to a page on the marketplace where they can choose to download the application.
The user's Live ID remains signed in until they sign out from Settings so, no, they don't have to sign in more than once.
