I'm developing the smart device handler using Google Home Local SDK.
How do I force device to reload and restart the app? (now I have to unplug the power cord, it does not looks good as it sparks)
also I have a couple of Google Home devices, how do I tell which of them should execute requests, is it possible to pin 'master' device?

Currently (during developer preview) you have to reboot the Home device to reload your local app. In an upcoming release, you will be able to refresh your app inside of Chrome DevTools but there is currently a known issue preventing this.
While unplugging your device may be the fastest way to reboot it, you can also reboot your device from within the Google Home app. Select the device, choose Settings, and you'll find Reboot in the overflow menu in the app toolbar.

Local execution currently relies on the Home Graph to determine whether to send a command locally. If the Home device and end device are configured in the same structure (and the device can be locally identified), then EXECUTE will be sent locally.

Let say I have an angular project on local, separating back-end and front-end. After starting my BE, I am able to consume my front-end accessing http://localhost:4200/ in browser.
If both my BE and FE have been started, is there a way to access http://localhost:4200/ or http://[myipaddress]:4200/ in an iOS simulator safari, so that I can see my staging result in the simulator?
I know Chrome and any other browser is able to simulate mobile devices in device mode, unfortunately, there are results in a real device that are different than that in device mode. Thus I really want to find a way to see the bug fixing result in an iOS simulator without deploying to production.
I tried to set inbound rule for port 4200 and accessed http://[myipaddress]:4200 in safari in a simulator , it said 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding'. (myipaddress = IPv4 Address in ipconfig).
Any hints?
You may have something in your specific setup stopping you from doing so, but you could just use the simulator included with Xcode, which should have no issues connecting to your localhost address on a given port.
I created a standalone smartwatch app for Wear OS. I use a Huawei Watch 2 4G for testing. I now want to have it in the beta track on Google Play Store so that users can test it. I've created some smartphone apps already and put them in the Play Store, so I'm used to the process. What I did so far:
Created entry on Google Play Console
Added a release to the open beta track
Filled all necessary stuff
Published the app and got the URL to participate in the beta test
Opened the URL while logged in with my test account and agreed to become a tester
Wiped the smartwatch and copied the same account to the watch during setup
Now I don't know how to install the app from the Play Store. On a smartphone I would simply open the URL in a browser and would be able to install it from there. What I tried so far:
Searching for the app name and for the package name on the Play Store on the smartwatch, but it can't find it.
Opening the Play Store entry in a browser and click the install button, but it says that I have no devices.
Opening the URL on the paired smartphone, but it only says that the device is not compatible.
How can I install a standalone Wear OS app that is in the open beta track on Google Play Store?
As suggest in #tofferj 's comment I simply had to wait a few more hours. I'm now able to find it by simply searching for the app name in the Play Store on the smartwatch.
Seems like the status "published" on the Google Play Console doesn't mean that it's already in the search index.
Basically, I'm looking for any way to go about this at all, no matter how cumbersome or unintuitive, so long as it can be done on iOS 7 (which the third party SBSettings framework currently cannot), and can be done on a non-jailbroken device.
This is for an app which will be loaded into iPads in a physical enclosure so the power button is inaccessible. The device itself will be in single app mode, which cannot be enabled or disabled except through our network-accessed MDM solution. The issue I'm trying to find a way around is that every now and then, the network connection stops functioning and the only way to re-establish it is to restart the device, which can't be done without an internet connection other than to physically press the inaccessible buttons. The reboot action would be password-locked in a hidden event handler and so inaccessible to normal users. This is not an app that will ever see the app store, so Apple's user interface guidelines don't necessarily apply.
Alternatively, is there any way to enable/disable assistive touch programmatically or any other possible method that will enable rebooting the device while in single app mode without physically touching the power button?
This is not a real answer (just thinking aloud).
Obviously, you can't do this through public API.
I believe, API's like SBReset can't do this either, because they are protected by entitlement.
I believe your simplest option to find some reasonably low level API which crashes and use it to crash a device.
I had exactly the same question some time ago:A way to reboot iOS device or restart Springboard using private API?
P.S. I don't have a way to find these crashes. I would recommnd to talk to jailbreak community (people who come up with jailbreaks for iOS devices). They collect all kinds of crashes. Most of these crashes aren't exploitable. However, you don't need an exploit, you just need a OS crash.
I've started yesterday afternoon studying WP7, so be patient.
I've just created my first test app, registered as developer on AppHub, connected my phone with Zune, registered my phone in my AppHub profile (I can see it in my devices section) and compiled my app.
When I try to transfer my app into phone (using Application Deployment Tool as described here) I get an error that can be traslated as
Unable to connect to device because it's locked by pin
But my device has not any pin (or I don't know to have one) and it doesn't show anything on screen.
What could/should I do?
UPDATE:
Zune is running: if I try I get the error
I close Zune and run WPConnect: my device is connected but the error is the same
When deploying the app, make sure the phone screen is unlocked.
Additinal info: If you are developing from Desktop PC, sometimes connecting from front USB panel wont work.
You can't deploy while the screen lock is active, so try swiping up the lock screen before deploying.
I know that on the iPhone you can register a URL prefix such as myapp://blah which, when opened in safari, will open up your application.
Is there anything like this for Windows Phone 7?
Unfortunately not, applications can only be launched by the user from the application list or home screen. I suspect that the hooks are there in the operating system because the YouTube application is launched when attempting to view a video on the YouTube website from the browser and the user is prompted to install the app if they haven't already got it installed. But unfortunately, this approach isn't publicly available.
