Does anybody know if it will be possible to link apps to URLs in Windows 10?
Like if you click a YouTube link I can choose to open it in an YouTube App rather than linking to the YouTube homepage.
Yes, its possible, yu might want to check this out:

I am interesting in writing an url to NTAG215 cards, so far I have download some apps for Ios tagwriter and NFC tools however once I try to read the card I have to open the app and read it, and my intention is to approach the phone and it will be able to pop up the window that let me open the link.
I have read and search quite a bit online about this but I am confused if this is something that needs to be develop using a sdk or its something the I have sort it out playing with the phone configuration.
any information will be much appreciated.

So iOS does support some background processing of URL's in the correct form.
See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc/adding_support_for_background_tag_reading
If you look at the NDEF spec https://github.com/haldean/ndef/blob/master/docs/NFCForum-TS-RTD_URI_1.0.pdf and look to only support URI Identifier Code 3 & 4 and possibly not 1 & 2
And from Apple's doc's
Note
Background tag reading doesn’t support custom URL schemes. Use universal links instead.
Definitely not URI Identifier Code 0 (custom URL)
And NXP Tagwriter App seems to default to "custom URL", so try writing the URL using the https:// or http:// from the drop down menu.
I am actually creating an extension that capture your screen video. I have found some examples that create screen sharing extension in firefox using WebRTC. But, its really hard to implement it. Does anyone have any project that share screen.
Thanks,
Just an update: Firefox from version 52 doesn't require an extension for the screen sharing.
The Screensharing whitelist is no longer needed to share your screen
or windows starting Firefox 52 (April). Please let us know if you find
any problems!
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Screensharing
Have a look at getScreenMedia there is a Firefox Extension Sample. There is also source code from webrtc-experiment.
Just a quick gotcha: As far as I know you have to whitelist your domain in about://config, or request be on the whitelist (like talky.io).
This is a simple questions:
I've developed my first app for windows phone 7 (Mango). I have created a new release in the marketplace for beta test.
I have received one confirm email about this process. All is ok. But now, in this email, there is a Url like this:
zune://navigate/?appid=46546c45-7b41-11ae-b78e-268334559f0ac
In theory, I have to send this url to beta testing people of my list. But Where I or they have to write this url for download the app?
In zune? In the marketplace? I don't know what I have to do with this url....
Thanks guys,
JPe
When you submitted the app for beta testing, you needed to specify the live ids of some testers. This link (zune://) can be used to install the application through Zune. You need to send this link to those testers whose live ids you entered there. Just paste the link in any browser and it will open with Zune.
The link will not work for anyone else, but for the specified live ids.
If your live id is not in the beta tester live ids list, I am not sure that you can test the app with your live id. I'd suggest to add your live id to the list.
And by the way, you cannot access a beta app through the Marketplace, the only way is through Zune with the given link.
I hope it will work for you.
I have found in most cases the beta links only work when opened from a Windows 7 device, opening the link on a PC through Zune either gets a "app not available" or "app not available for your country".
There doesn't seem to be any setting in the marketplace to get around this so it may be by design.
No word yet on if this is fixed with the web marketplace but I doubt it since the Beta apps only give a Zune link
When you publish an application on the marketpace, you may access it by link
http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=GUIDOfApplication
which redirects to application's page on the market.
I know that that it is possible to link directly to "rate and review". So, what is that link?
From within your app you can call the MarketplaceReviewTask. As far as I know it's not possible to rate and review an application unless you have it installed on your phone.
Obviously until you publish your app to Marketplace this will give an error as the phone can't find your app in Marketplace.
See MSDN docs for more detail.
I need to launch my WP7 application from the phone's browser and pass some arguments. For example, the following url would be a link on an html page. Clicking the link would start my application. iPhone and Android both have these capabilites by the name of 'url schemes'.
appName://my.arguments.here
How can I accomplish this on WP7?
Thanks!
Unfortunately there is currently no support for "url schemes" or custom URL handlers that will allow you to handle these requests from within your application.
It is possible to integrate with the search application, which can provide deep linking into your application. It also appears that YouTube has some kind of way of doing it, as the mobile version of their site will jump to the app for playback of videos.
You should use the protocol activation feature of Windows Store apps - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh452686.aspx
