Special characters in About section on a Microsoft Teams app - microsoft-teams

I'm creating an app for Microsoft Teams from App studio.
In the Developer name there is a special character.
Does anyone have the same issue?
I tried escape characters but none of them worked
Update:

Multilingual App Toolkit won't translate in VS 2022 Pro - translation key problem?

My colleague and I use VS 2022 Pro (VS), Multilingual App Toolkit (MAT), and Azure Translator service to translate our RESX resources into other languages; all on Windows 10. This tooling used to work for me; still Works great for my colleague with the same tools.
After a recent rebuild of my workstation, VS works but MAT no longer translates. Translations in intermediate XLIFF and final RESX files are not generated (despite MAT appearing to run - nothing changes).
Again, this tooling still works for my colleague.
One thing we noticed is the Azure Translator service key might not be being saved between VS restarts. Other settings can be saved but this key is not. But this key-save issue might not be relevant as even after supplying the translator key and starting a translation without closing VS - the translation fails to generate.
Very much appreciate your suggestions for what I could try. Thanks!
P.S. I have seen these SO answers:
Why is the Multilingual App Toolkit not generating machine translations?
Multilingual App Toolkit .xlf file is not updated during build
Multilingual App Toolkit translation service broken

Debugging Tabs in Microsoft teams bot framework

I'm new to bot development in Microsoft teams, i'm using bot framework for development. I want to know how we can debug the tabs in MS Teams from our local solution.
For debugging of my message extension i'm using ngrok, so kindly suggest some way to debug the tabs in similar fashion.
You can use ngrok to debug your Tabs as well. You can specify your ngrok URL as Tab's contentURL and you will get the debug points for server side code.
Please take a look at DevTools for Microsoft Teams tabs for client side debugging.

Login to Titanium Studio

A little over a year ago, I shelved several projects and went on to do other work. Now I'm finding that I cannot login to my installation of Titanium Studio. I clicked the 'troubleshooting login' link and it pointed me to the Appcelerator page for "Errors Logging In to Studio". There it suggested that I try the following command:
curl -F "username=XXXX" -F "password=YYYY" https://dashboard.appcelerator.com/api/v1/auth/login
When I did so, with my email address (which contains a '-'), it returned:
"Username must be a valid email address." Of course it is a valid email address, and Titanium confirmed it years ago. It is also the same email address I used to access the Appcelerator website.
I changed my email address to one that doesn't include the '-'. Same result.
Has Appcelerator completely locked us out of Titanium Studio?
Any suggestions regarding how to get past this hurdle would be greatly appreciated!! (When I last used Appcelerator Studio, it didn't feel comfortable, so I went back to Titanium. I'm really hoping that I don't have to start over on my apps.)
Thank you in advance!

Appcelerator discontinued Titanium studio and replaced with Appcelerator Studio with the integrated enterprise features - Arrow, performance and test services, etc for easy development of mobile applications.
You can't use titanium studio login credentials with Appcelerator Studio. However, you can get a free trial access http://www.appcelerator.com/signup/ and get started with Appcelerator Studio.
You can import all your old projects to Appcelerator studio and I don't think you need to put extra effort to start working on this.
Titanium studio was discontinued a while ago, easily over a year now. You do need to use appcelerator studio or your favorite editor if you don't like studio. You can compile and run from the command line.
Also verify your account on their website. It seems they have recently changed some things. Eg. my "forever trial" (which should have been a perpetual Indie, but that's another discussion) seems to be expired recently. So maybe you have to take some additional administrative steps in order to be able to continue working with your apps.

Why Don't Windows 10 Apps Require Key-Signing?

In both iOS and Android I noticed there is a process to privately sign apps before publishing it to their respective stores.
However, in the Windows 10 Universal App Process I haven't found this to be the case. How does Microsoft get away without requiring the developer to sign their app? Or does Visual Studio / dev.windows.com somehow take care of this behind the scenes?
When you generate an app package to upload to the Windows Store (typically via Visual Studio, I'm not actually sure if there's a command line alternative), it is signed by VS. The key is linked to your Windows Store Developer account, which is why you have to sign in to the correct dev account when building a release.
Edit: This is somewhat out of date (VS2012/Windows 8 era), but it goes into more detail (and talks about the alternatives to VS that do seem to exist - MakeCert and Pvk2Pfx): https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj835832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

VS2010 unicode support gone after installing Service Pack 1

I'm in a bit of a mess. I made the mistake of installing SP1 for VS2010 during development phase and now I'm in trouble. I'm working on a bengali website that has bengali unicode text hardcoded in many of the asp.net pages. Before installing SP1 everything was fine and I was able to see the unicode characters but now all I see is rectangle boxes!! I uninstalled SP1 but that didn't solve the problem either.
Any other idea's??
Change the font to one that supports Bengali.
That is what boxes usually means: the characters are there, but the font does not have the necessary glyphs.
