Square APIs for Canada and USA - square-connect

I have my application registered with square. I am using register APIs, square oauth and square connect APIs. My app will launch in Canada soon (currently its only available in US). Do I need to have a separate app registered with square for Canada support or the same app will do? TIA.

No. Your app will work fine for canadian merchants.

Move your apps to bidding (Audience Network)

You need to move your apps to bidding before the deadlines so they can continue monetizing with Audience Network.
after this message came to my dashboard I click (Move apps to Bidding) button and did select (No mediation platform -Audience Network only) option. As I am not using any other ad platform.
But the problem is, After doing this that notification is still on my Dashboard. Why? Do I have to do anything else?
you need to perform bidding it is now mandatory at least one ad must that perform bidding
you can use any platform for performing this
without bidding ads are not shows in your app.
I hope you can understand it
Thanks.

appcenter doesn't have **push** option?

i'm working with xamarin forms and i would like to implement notifications in my app; but i can't see the push option on my appcenter. I don't see the option :
I went to the documentation; but it says in the option 3 In the project navigator that opens, select Push.. i'm confused! Thanks.
AppCenter is (unfortunately) retiring its push notification service. They recommend migrating to Azure Notification Hubs (which are slightly more complex, but also more powerful).
You can refer to this Announcing MBaaS Service Retirement on
February 3rd, 2020 by John Wargo from Principal Program Manager, Visual Studio App Center .That is an official announcement.
Earlier last year, we launched the App Center Auth and Data services in early preview. Together with App Center Push, the three services form the App Center Mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) offering, and give developers an easy entry into using Azure as a backend for mobile apps.
As a result, we are discontinuing efforts in the Auth, Data, and Push services and working to retire these preview services in App Center. With this change, we will focus App Center on delivering a world-class mobile and desktop DevOps experience. We will also work together with Azure teams to help migrate developers to the native Azure services, and ensure that Azure continues to be a great platform for your mobile apps.
What This Means to You
Your apps can continue to use these services for now; we want to give you ample time to consider, and implement other options for your apps before we retire the services.
May 3, 2020
After this date, the Auth and Data services will no longer be available in the App Center portal; the services may continue to operate for a short while after this date, but you will not be able to interact with either service using the App Center portal UI.
App Center Push Retirement Timeline
Microsoft is committed to providing the best notification offering possible and we think the best way to do this is to focus our efforts on a single offering in Azure Notification Hubs. We know many of you value the unique features unique to App Center Push and we want to offer similar capabilities in Azure Notification Hubs. With that in mind, we’re working to create a transition plan which causes the least disruption to our existing customers as they move to Azure Notification Hubs.

Sending Push notification in Winjs

i am developping a windows store app with html/js , so my application is a small game and i would like that player 1 can send invitation to player 2 connected with the same app .so the push notif appears in the device of player2 and can choose accept or decline .
I want to know if it's possible with winjs (like C# ) or not?
I am really affraid if there is no a way to achieve that goal.
Any help will be well appreciated
Please any suggestion .
It's possible, the push notification mechanism is really just HTTP calls, so not sure where you're concern lies. There's going to be a bit of infrastructure to support this, but that's required regardless of C# or JavaScript; I can see it transpiring something like:
You store a repository of players "in the cloud"
Each client downloads (via the app) the list of possible other players to invite.
Player 1 indicates he wants to initiate a game with player 2, and that results in a web service call to your cloud service
Your web service looks up the channel id(s) for player 2, and pushes the message to devices owned by player 2 via WNS
If you were to use Windows Azure Mobile Services you could accomplish this without a lot of work.

Messaging app on the WP7

I was wondering if it is possible to develop a text messaging kind of application similar to WhatsApp, but for between WP7 devices? What difficulty programming skill level am I looking at and what would be required to develop such an app? Thanks!
In general I don't think it will be really difficult to build an app like WhatsApp. (Although I only heard about the funcationality) So I will give you the information I think you should have at a minimum.
In the first place you need your WP7 app, which I think should have push notifications to notify users about new messages. (Note: push notifications work in batches, so there will be no instant delivery notification to the end user.) You should have a login system in your WP7 app, which makes users uniquely identifiable.
Somewhere you should have a central datastore where you can store users, messages, relations between messages (replies, forwards, etc.) (Note: If your app becomes as big as WhatsApp you should have a really good scalable datastore.).
I would use WCF to communicate between your datastore and the WP7 app. Probably I have overseen something right now, but this will give you a start for defining your applications architecture.
UPDATE 12:54
As i saw your comment about where to start I searched for some documentation:
There is a free e-book from Charles Petzold which covers alot:
http://www.charlespetzold.com/phone/
Also there are a lot of code samples and documentation on MSDN:
Main overview of WP7 development:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402535(v=vs.92).aspx
WP7 code samples:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431744(v=vs.92).aspx
You can have a look at the Sockets Support section, which may help you to get started.

Building a Phone7 application that operates differently per mobile network operator

I have a product live on a network operators portal at the moment, it is integrated with the operators SMS/MMS messaging and billing interfaces. I would like to build a version of this application to run on Windows Phone 7 devices.
I'd like the application to run for all users but for users that happen to be on the network operator I've integrated with I'd like to offer them a better experience (direct operator billing and sending through the operators MMSC).
An alternative would be to limit the availability of the app to users with handsets on the operator (like the Android marketplaces that exist for the major cell network operators like Verizon and Sprint).
Is any of this possible on the Zune Marketplace for apps and/or on Phone 7 devices?
Thanks
To accomplish this I would suggest liasing with your network operator contacts.
You'll need access to the APIs which they have access to (and the public does not through the 3rd party SDK).
You may also want to ship an app with phones they supply also.
