I have had a Windows 8 build associated with my app, say with version 1.0.4. I also have an active 1.3.4 version which targets Windows 10. I wanted to make the 1.0.4 build unavailable so I removed it. But it still appears in the Windows Store on Windows 8 devices. Then I read that I need to submit an update and change the pricing & availability. But I don't see a way to do that without also removing the 1.3.4 version from the Windows Store. Any ideas?
EDIT: I added an image of the dashboard which shows which packages are installed. The Windows 8 package is still available even though it is not visible in the dashboard.
Based on your description, can I understand that your app has two packages, one version is 1.0.4 that targets Windows 8, another version is 1.3.4 that targets Windows 10, and you just want to make the package version 1.0.4 unavailable, am I right?
I suggest you to remove package version 1.0.4 from the submission and you don’t need to change the pricing & availability, after the update is published(new submission submitted in the store), no new customer on Windows 8 will be able to acquire the app(though customer who already have is can continue to use it). The app will still available for new customer on Windows 10.
More detailed info, please refer to guidance for app package management
In addition, there are just Windows Phone store and Windows Store now, please note it.

So l’m kind new to SCCM’s OSD and I’ve been assigned to do an upgrade for Windows 7 workstation to Windows 10 v1703.
I read online that the maximum ADK supported by SCCM 1606 is v1607, lucky I also read some posts online saying that it worked fine with Windows 10 v1706 although Microsoft does not support it.
Now, my questions is our environment has an older ADK version that I don’t wish to remove if that possible. Can I just install the new ADK + upload new images to console + use new USMT Package for user data migration? Or must I upgrade the whole winPE to the new ADK environment? And if so, is there is any easier way then using scripts to update image and adk level ? ( older SCCM versions don’t have the option of reloading boot images)
If anyone can guide me please, I’m supposed to start the upgrade as soon as possible as windows 7 is going to be out of support in 2020.
The old ADK has to be removed then we could install the latest ADK. Otherwise, we would see the following error message.
Manually updating the boot image in the SCCM, we need to copy the latest wim file to the location used in the SCCM and run a script to update it. Refer to the following link to get the detailed steps.

my x version is on full rollout on play store but my new users are still downloading the older versions.
Whenever we are uploading any new version on play store, older version automatically deactivate or we need to do it manually?
No, we don't need to deactivate the older versions. It takes sometimes for your new release to be updated in users' Play Store app (sometimes it can take up to several days). It is normal, you do not need to be worried to much. After users download your older version(s), they will be prompted to update your app to newer version soon.
If you only have one version of the application in your release, then that is enough for users to move to the new version.
However, you will often see a few installs of old versions. One is P2P app sharing. Currently ShareIt, Xender and Files Go when they P2P share versions of apps can use Google Play to install them (see the blog post). These will appear in your statistics as installs of old versions, but the users will eventually get updated. The security metadata has an expiry time, so versions older than 3 months will never be installed.
You might also see old versions being installed for users who had an old version and do backup of one phone and restore to a new phone.
just install the new version of Xcode (7.2.1), he took a little longer than expected.
But when it finished and run the xcode continues with version 7.1.1
I thought it would be solved by restarting the Mac, but no.
Any idea what can be spent? or happened to me to be done?
!EDITED!
My MAC version.
My xcode options
My applications
I had exactly the same problem. I installed 4GB large 7.2.1 version of Xcode from the AppStore over an existing 7.2 version, and whichever way I was launching Xcode it was always the same old 7.2 popping up. What was worse I could not download 7.2.1 again, as AppStore app was not showing Install button anymore, but rather Launch button instead (like it was installed).
Finally I found a solution. I went to Downloads for Apple Developers site (a login to a developer account was required), I dowloaded Xcode_7.2.1.dmg 4.7GB large from there, launched an installation... which successfully replaced the older 7.2 version of Xcode.
Another answer suggests installing Xcode via a Developer Member Center download. I'd like to caution against this, and suggest an alternative approach.
Shortly before Xcode 7 became available, I upgraded an Xcode 6 installation to 6.4 by using the download. I did this to save download time for upgrading multiple machines (I put the installer on a flash drive). I subsequently discovered that using the downloaded installer broke tracking the version history in the App Store, and I was no longer able to upgrade via the App Store. Also, I was no longer notified of pending Xcode updates via the MAS "Updates" panel.
So a possible consequence for you may be that the App Store may not be able to handle your future Xcode updates, or even notify you when an update is pending.
What I ended up doing was deleting my then-current Xcode installation (I used AppDelete to get all of the components of the installation), and starting from scratch using the App Store. I recommend doing the same. Probably the best way to start is to try deleting Xcode via Launchpad. But if that doesn't work (say, it doesn't delete all versions if you still have multiple versions), try AppDelete or a similar app.
I should note that one reason I used the download to upgrade Xcode 6 was that I'd done so previously without breaking the App Store's ability to track Xcode's version history. Whether that previous behavior was a fluke, or whether the later behavior (losing the version history) was a fluke, I can't say.
If you've already installed via the Member Center installer, you can check to see if you'll have this problem by looking up Xcode in MAS. If the store shows you have the version you manually installed, then all is well (probably!). If not, either you'll have to keep track of updates by yourself, or you should re-establish MAS version tracking by deleting Xcode and starting from scratch via MAS. I'd be interested to learn whether the store is tracking your manual installation.
When ready to present an app to put on the appStore; is there a minimum version of Xcode required? Or any version however old is good?
Thanks
According to Apple,
You should always use the latest Xcode (requires Apple ID to login)
Note: You can build with the very latest SDK, and run your app on an earlier operating system. The Deployment Target build setting controls the lowest operating system version that your app will run on. This setting is independent of the Base SDK build setting.
Using any other SDK is TEMPORARY
It's important to understand that using an older SDK is a temporary workaround, not a solution. Issues preventing your app from using the latest SDK should be fixed as soon as possible. It will be much easier to fix these issues while the older build system is still supported.
Latest & Easiest way
Application Loader
You need to have some minimum version of the XCode, but no need to have the very latest one...

is it possible to get a list of all installed application on windows 7 phone?
Till now I didn't find any API that I can use.
I know this is possible on android , and it seams weird that you cant do it on windows windows 7 phone.
This is not possible.
There is a personal data information issue with this information being available. i.e. You could infer/gather information about people based on the apps they have installed. Users may not want you to know what apps they have installed for personal or other reasons.
If you want to track whether a users has installed any of your other apps (maybe so you don't cross promote apps they've already installed) you will have to do this by having each app report it's usage (installation) to a central server along with the device/user id (ANID) and then determine whcih apps have been installed.
