I was submitting my converted Win32 app to the Windows 10 Store and noticed that there was a new checkmark/option available there, that read "Windows 10 Team":
What does that mean?
Also if I check that option, the next page that comes up before submitting to the store shows Incomplete for the .APPX package and doesn't allow me to finish submission:
So it would be nice to know what is "incomplete" about it?
Windows 10 Team == SurfaceHub (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/business/surface-hub)
The SurfaceHub only supports true UWP apps. Packaged Win32 apps (desktop-bridge) are not supported.
If your submitted package does not contain any app that actually works on the Surface Hub the store would reject it if you check "Windows 10 Team", because there is nothing that could be offered to Surface Hub users.

I have a unity app built for Windows desktop. Client wants this to be distributed through Windows 10 Store. This is just a desktop app and has no support to tabs or phones.
But looks like with Windows 10 there is no desktop only option.
Is there any documentation on what are the steps I need to follow to submit the unity built app to Windows store?
I did some reading and looks like this is what I will have to do.

But want to get a confirmation from some one who has already done that. As I don't have a Windows developer account right now to try that out.

The steps of publishing a unity app is similar to UWP app. You can refer to App Submissions for more details.
After your packages have been successfully uploaded, you will find the Device family availability section that indicates which packages will be offered to specific Windows 10 device families.
For your requirement, you could check Windows 10 Desktop device option, as the follow picture shows:
For more info, you could refer to Device family availability official document.
In Win 10 Mobile was setting for developers where I could set the count of crash dumps must be saved on a device. After installing Creators Update that setting disappeared and crash dumps are not saving anymore. Is it possibble to save crash dumps on a device with Creators Update ? It's necessary for me.
I know about app insights, but it's not variant - I need a full dump with native symbols.
Microsoft changed this since Windows 10 Mobile Creators update v1703. After activating Device Portal use your development PC and open the Device portal Url that is shown on the phone.
Now the updated device portal has an entry Crash data which you have to click
Now it takes around 30 seconds where the phone enumerates all sideloaded apps, lists them and offers you a checkbox to create dumps for each sideloaded app
So with the updated device portal you can now control the dump creation per sideloaded app instead of a global dump count. But I have no idea how many dumps are created, because I haven't got a crash.
I am building an application targeting windows 10 desktop and mobile both some functionality like back button functionality is different for each device mobile device use hardware back button while desktop use title bar back button option
do i have to make 2 different projects for each of device ?
No, you can have just one. Originally the back button handling on phone was done separately using the Mobile Extension SDK, but in later builds before the final release of Windows 10 this back button handling was refactored to be universal for all device families, although the back button is displayed on a different place in each.
Basically the only thing you need is to wire up the event globally:
Windows.UI.Core.SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested +=
App_BackRequested;

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.
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:
