New unified Windows Dev Center - how to unpublish/hide/delete app? - windows

I have a problem with this new unified Windows Dev Center. In old version, there wasn't any problems to delete or hide app from Windows Phone store.
But in this new interface.. I cannot find that option.
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/overview?from=UHF
Of course, I tried to find some information how to do it - I found this, but it is totally useless.
This topic applies to the earlier Windows Store dashboard and not the new unified Windows Dev Center dashboard.
Nice one, very userfriendly.
To conclude - how to delete or hide or just unpublish my app from WindowsPhone store using new Windows Dev Center?

Select your app from the dashboard, go to submissions and click update to create a new submission (yes counter intuitive) and then go to pricing and availability and scroll down to Distribution and visibility and click on show options.
Then select hide this app and stop selling, save it and submit it.

The new dev center is in preview mode(read only), so I think that you will have this feature when the account migrations are finished. Until then, you also can't publish new apps.

How to hide an app from play store for a couple of hours

Due to a migration in the back I would like to temporary stop my app from being downloaded.
In the past I could manage that in Play Store Console. But now I can't find any switch for that.
How to disable the app temporary in Play Store ?
For anyone still looking for an answer, it is possible nowadays (an easier and better way than the other answer suggests).
First open up Google Play Console
On the left hand side click Setup > Advanced Settings
Then under App Availability click Unpublished
In Playstore developer console You can go to pricing and distribution section in the left hand side panel
You should find Availability section listing lot of countries where your app would be available for download from playstore
You can make all countries as unavailable or few selected countries
for keeping you app hidden from playstore and there by stopping downloads from playstore for sometime , you can always make your app available by selecting available in countries once done available , your app would be back in playstore within few minutes and will be ready for download.

How can I pin a Sharepoint's WebPart app?

I have developed a Sharepoint's WebPart. This app works fine and now I need something similar to integrate with Teams.
I have been researching about the best way to develop the app for Teams. As far as I know, there are two ways of doing this:
1. I can develop a new app only for Teams
2. I can "reuse" the Sharepoint's Webpart.
According to the second one option, I have made some little changes and now the app based in the WebPart is working in Teams.
My doubt is the next one. The application is a "Tab" associated to a channel and the client wants that the app icon appears in the menu of the left side.
When I try to add the icon in: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/app-setup, this new application based on the WebPart, never appears and I don't know the way to add the icon in the menu.
Could somebody help me?
Kind regards
You can pin only Personal Apps to the left rail. Please add your SharePoint page as personal (static) tab in your App and then pin it.

How to update the windows store app logo?

I successfully uploaded 2 windows apps to windows store. In the initial publish, I forget to select the windows store logos. So I update the app again with the store logo. But after completing the latest update still showing the default xamarin logo.
I created the windows app using xamarin forms and I set the store logo on the package.appxmanifest file.
Thanks in advance.
For windows store, some changes like store logo updation take up to a business week(or more) to be reflected in the store. That is the reason behind this issue.

Using an enterprise app for Single App Mode with Profile Manager in Mavericks Server (MDM)

I have a bunch of iPads that are all supervised, and that are enrolled into a MDM server (Mavericks Server). I've added the app to the specific device group, but when I go to the profile settings and Single App Mode the only apps I can select are the builtin ones.
Is there no way to use a third party (enterprise) app as the app for Single App Mode?
EDIT: If you use Apple Configurator and add the app there you can set Single App Mode to use that app, I would imagine that would be possible when doing the same in Apple's Profile Manager, but it doesn't seem to be working here.
EDIT2: Looking at Apple's documentation it does indeed seem to be possible to select a third party app for single app mode using their Profile Manager, so why isn't the app showing in the list for me?
http://images.apple.com/education/docs/assessment_with_ipad_mar2013_v2.pdf
Go to the Device Group, after installing the app (that you want to show in Single App Mode dropdown and lock it to) do "Update Info" (small icon in bottom-middle-left of screen) on all the devices in that group. Wait a bit, then go to Single App Mode screen again, the app should start appearing.Works for me. The "Update Info" thing also works for Single Device as well and you can lock to any new app installed from Profile Manger, doesn't matter if the app was installed while supervising through Configurator or not.
So interestingly enough in the new update for Server (3.1.1) this seems to be working. The Enterprise app is now listed in the dropdown box.
However there also is about 10 empty items in the box with no text description. So it's clearly still a bit buggy.

Google Apps Marketplace SDK : setup a contextual gadget

Ok, so without much notification given, adding market place listings to your vendor profile is no longer possible. The 'create new listing' button is greyed out.
I need to make changes to an existing marketplace listing but that gives errors. We are forced into the new SDK.
So I went ahead and enabled the apps market SDK, filled out all details including images of all sizes, add a COB extension for the contextual gadget and saved the whole thing.
A minute later I return to make a modification and dang... error: "We are looking into this.".
#Google: HELP !
UPDATE : I can reliably reproduce the error as explained here.
Enable Google Apps Marketplace SDK in your project
click on the gear icon, you will be directed to the old API Console
Fill out all details
Add a COB extension (Contextual gadget)
Save everything
Close the API console
Go back to your cloud console -> Google Apps Marketplace SDK
Click on the gear icon again
ERROR
Tested with several google accounts on different computeres and multiple projects on the cloud console.
#jonathanberi could we have a status on this issue, please? We are experiencing the exact same issue and we are unable to publish our app (which is ready) because of this bug. We have tried both creating a new Google Apps console project from scratch as well as modifying a draft of a yet to be published page with the same result. Is any information that we could provide to help?
You must fill out parameter name and a paramter value or your cloud console will return errors and you will not be able to recover from this.
Ouch, that were 3 useless weeks....
