I have created a power app and then created a custom app within teams using app studio manifest editor. I would like to know how I can now pin this app to the pin bar at the side on the desktop client and on the bottom on a mobile client.
#Daniel Comer Here is how you could pre pin your custom app on the pin bar-App-prepinning.

I have been doing lots of research trying to figure out if it is possible to create wear notifications with custom layouts over the past few months, but am struggling to find a solution.
I have tried to implement the following suggestions to no luck:

Custom UI for Android Wear Notifications
Most of what I have read have instructed that in order to do this, I should create an android wear app with a data listener. The idea being the phone would send certain data to the watch (say a string) based on the type of notification it wants to send. I would disable the automatically generated wear notification. In its place, the Android Wear app listener would know what type of notification it is based on the string and display my custom pages for that notification instead.
My first problem I have run into is I have no idea how to debug code like this. Since in Android studio you can only launch the device app or the wear app, but not both at the same time.
The other question I have is, does the Android Wear app run in the background when the Device App is running? Do you have to open the Android Wear App first for the listener to be even working (if so then I guess this is not a solution to custom notifications)?
Is it actually possible to create custom layout android wear notifications?
If you want to use a custom layout for your notifications, you should create the notification on the watch, following Creating Custom Layouts. You can even make the custom notifications clickable, you can add actions that will open activities on the watch, etc.
For that, you can send a message from your phone to your watch and the listener implemented on your watch will receive it and then, create and display the notification using the correct layout corresponding to the message sent, for example.
In this case, the best way is to implement a WearableListenerService on your wearable. Its lifecycle is handled by the system which binds it only when necessary.
To debug, you install the wear app on the wear emulator or your watch, you install the mobile app on your phone and finally you connect the two following this tutorial if you're using the emulator or via bluetooth if you're using a watch (link in the tutorial).
The Android Wear app connects your phone to your watch, whether it is an emulator or not. So, in order for your message to be received, you must have connected wear and mobile via Android Wear. Then, once the connection is established, you don't necessarily need to keep it open. So yes, the Android Wear app runs in background.
I want to create a wear application that has 2 mode : the connected mode and the disconnected mode. The first mode is used when the watch is connected to the bluetooth : you can control a media player and have the basic controls on what's being played on the phone.
The second mode is used when the mobile is not paired to the watch : you can listen to content on the watch with a bluetooth headset.
My question is the following : on the connected mode, I created my own interface with the basic controls (play/pause/next/previous) and I can synchronize the controls with the phone sending messages via the message api.
Is there a better way to do? Like using the Notifications?
If you want to have the basic media controls on your wear device (controlling then playback of your media app on your phone), then you can use the MediaSessionCompat to handle that for you; take a look at the UniversalMusicPlayer for example; basically if your media app is using the MediaSessionCompat (or MediaSession if you are not concerned with earlier versions of Android), then the basic controls should appear on your watch and if you implement MediSessionComapt.Callback in your media app, framework will send the control commands to your app from your watch.
How to implement such appearance for notification card using Android Wear SDK?
Demo video — http://youtu.be/tKoQatxG0_8?t=26s
It has the same custom layout in preview and active mode. But I cannot achieve such behaviour using setDisplayIntent and related API for creating custom layouts. I checked samples of wear apps from SDK, it also has different views for preview and active mode of custom layout notifications.
Oh no!
Right now it's hidden API, so Google can make such appearance for standard apps, but other third-party developers are out of the board.

So the answer is impossible at current moment.
We have a mobile version of our web site which works well on all mobile screen resolutions and sizes. Now, we would like to build a very simple app for Blackberry and Windows Phone 7. The app would be trivial - after you click on its icon, it opens a web browser and send you to our mobile web site. Just like a Windows OS shortcut that you place on your desktop.
Can you tell me if Blackberry and Windows Phone 7 policies allow such app be published? For example, Apple rejected us.
I can't speak for Blackberry, but Requirement 2.10 from the WP7 Application Certification Requirements:
Your application must have distinct,
substantial and legitimate content and
purpose other than merely launching a webpage.
So the answer seems to be no on the WP7 marketplace. Is there a reason you want to create an app like that anyway? On WP7, users can pin a tile to their home screen that will launch the website they've pinned. You could simply encourage users to do that on their WP7 and you'll get the same effect (except your site won't appear in the app list).
Seems this is okay for BlackBerry. See section 4.b of the App World FAQ.
Very strange. Our company has placed a similar application on Android Market and the Appstore and they have been resolved and now they available at stores. Also, I had a similar application for Windovs Phone, and it was also allowed.
P.S. Our application is not just a browser window, it has custom control panel in bottom. Also it has the communication protocol with the site - such a sending pictures from camera and phone and access to phone contacts.
Window Phone 7 application in XAP file to run dynamically another window Phone 7 Application.
This feature is called "deep linking", it will be available in the next release of Windows Phone called "Mango" (coming in Autumn 2011). It will both work from within apps and from the home screen.

The coolest new feature Microsoft showed off today was the ability to create a Live Tile (shortcut) not just to an app, but to a single page or feature within that app. This feature is great. As an example, Belfiore went into the Amazon shopping app for WP7. He doesn’t like having to open up the app and go through menus to get to the barcode scanner, however. So right in the menu was an option to pin that exact app page (the scanner) as a Live Tile on the Windows Phone homescreen.
I would say that MarketplaceDetailTask is the closest API that matches your request. You cannot nest the execution of one app inside another.Refer this Link:
