We are trying with a friend to write a mobile application (Xamarin.Forms).
Using Live Share we are connected and can co-write code and stuff. But at the same time, debugging works only on the side of the creator. The emulator itself was launched, but the application is visible only in the main group. Tried all the settings and gave permission for everything in options.LiveShare. Is there any way to use this app?
According to this thread , VS2019 still doesn't allow shared debugging of Xamarin sessions.You may want to post an feature request here https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues?q=

I'm using Application Insights as part of my .Net Framework WebAPI project. When running the code locally (in debug mode), I can see all the events that would be sent to AI locally in Visual Studio by clicking the Application Insights button in the toolbar.
I've also got a Angular web App which works in tandem with the .Net backend. I've got the web version of Application Insights setup on it which sends telemetry to an Azure AI instance. Is it possible to have the Angular web app send its telemetry to the local AI instance in Visual Studio when I'm running it locally?
I'm using v2.5.10 of the #microsoft/applicationinsights-web library and Visual Studio Professional 2019 if that makes a difference.
Actually, there is no local AI instance. By default, the data you see in visual studio -> Application Insights Search window is from the current debug session, the screenshot is as below:
Another thing is that if you specify a valid InstrumentationKey, the data are always sending to application insights in azure portal(unless you setup firewall rule to block them).
For Angular web App, there is no way to just show the data in visual studio, but not sending to AI instance in azure.
Here are some suggestions just for your reference, but they cannot totally meet your requirement:
Solution 1: Sending data from Angular web App to AI instance in azure, then you can fetch these data from azure to visual studio locally. To do that, in the visual studio -> Application Insights Search window, change the Debug session telemetry to the AI instance in azure. Like below:
Solution 2: If you just don't want to send the data to Azure, you can use an invalid InstrumentationKey, and then open tools like fiddler to see these telemetry data.
I have some old windows 10 mobile phones, that I want to give a second life as a music device for my kids. Since I have Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise at my hands, I thought I try to create something myself.
Not I tried to create an UWP app and a Xamarin app and try to debug them on the phone (connected via USB, developer mode enabled, unlocked). But with both I get this error:
DEP6957: Failed to connect to device '127.0.0.1' using Universal
Authentication. Please verify the correct remote authentication mode
is specified in the project debug settings. COMException ... HRESULT:
0x8007274D) [0x8007274D]
The apps are still in their initial state after creating the project, no modifications done. The settings for debugging are set to: Debug, ARM, Device
I had some experience with an older Visual Studio version and windows phone 7, back then it just worked and all the documents I could google up suggest, while there are new ways, it should still work via USB.
If you plan to develop Windows 10 Mobile App, you need to use Visual Studio 2017 and make sure the target version of the app is below 14393.
Visual Studio 2019 no longer supports deploying UWP apps on mobile phones.
Best regards.
sometime i must reboot service something like windowsphone ipoverusb
I want to publish a headless UWP application for Windows 10 IoT Core devices to the app store, but fail to build the neccessary appxupload-package.
The app itself is a simple background task that reacts to the push of a button and communicates with a web service using SignlR. The project template can be found here: Windows IoT Core Project Templates for VS 2017
There is a guide for publishing UWP apps to the store, including special instructions for headless apps: Installing and Servicing apps on Windows 10 IoT Core
I follow this instructions step by step but still Visual Studio 2017 fails to build the appxupload-package (error message: "ilc.exe exited with code 1004"). If I try to build the solution I get following error: "Applications with custom entry point executables are not supported".
I did not do any other relevant modifications to the Manifest beside those mentioned in the instructions.
Also, without this modifications to the Manifest, Visual Studio 2017 succeeds creating the appxupload-package - but I can't use that one since it won't be accepted by the store because of it's headless nature.
I really have no clue about how to make this work and hope somebody can help me with this problem here! I didn't find any other information about this problem anywhere else.
I managed to create the appxupload-package. Turns out the guide to publish headless apps to the appstore has some issues.
The guide is written using markdown and some of the information contained simply gets cut off when rendered for viewing purpose.
Since the guide is available via github repository you can use the raw version for full information: Installing and servicing applications
UPDATE
The guide has been updated and issues have been solved - Installing and Servicing applications
I'm trying to deploy a Windows Phone 8.1 Application via Enterprise distribution.
For this I'm using BuildMDILAPPX.ps1to sign the application with a symantec certificate.
The Application works as expected when deployed via Visual Studio or via Application Distribution.
However once I try to install the application generated by BuildMDILAPPX.ps1 certain functionality (Database with SQLite) seems to produce an error, as the application behaves differently (e.g. stuck on screen).
Is there a way to debug this application via Visual Studio, or any other way?
Or is it possible to deactivate optimization via BuildMDILAPPX.ps1
Thanks for your help,
Dominik
I solved it by using Toast Notifications to display which line was executed or to display variables.
Not a clean solution, but it worked.
How can i use multiple WP device in Visual Studio? I need to test an application on multiple devices at the same time, how can I do? I do not need to start debugging on both, I just need to be able to deploy on both phones. One is WP8 and the other WP7. Thanks for the help
Sorry, you can't automate deployment to multiple devices using Visual Studio, DeployXap or CoreCon11 APIs. The way Visual Studio 2012 and DeployXap.exe do their thing is by using the CoreCon11 APIs (which I demoed here and explained here). However, the way CoreCon11 APIs work is that they only recognize one physical connected device at a time and one version of each emulator. Here's a print out of all available devices on a machine with 2 WP8s connected to it:
As you can see, there's only one "device" available from the CoreCon11 APIs. Because CoreCon11 APIs only support deployment to a single device, you can't automate those APIs or anything using them to deploy to multiple devices.
It might be possible to change how the CoreCon11 DataStore PlatformContainer works and add additional devices, but I don't have a code sample to share.
You can deploy to the first phone by connecting it and selecting Deploy from the Build menu. You can then disconnect the first device, connect the second device and debug as per usual.
