ARC: Version & updates - google-chrome-arc

How can I get the version of the currently running App Runtime for Chrome on the Chromebook and programmatically?
Does ARC get updates and how often?

Build.ID is the version number.
Major release is bound to Chrome's release cycle, so roughly every 6 weeks.

How does a programmer uninstall a Google Play App they have made to reinstall the new version without it negatively effecting stats?

I am noticing some adverse effects on my Google Play Stats because I, as the programmer, am uninstalling the old version of the app to reinstall the new version immediately.
Basically I am on 5 installs and 10 uninstalls. Its only me that knows about the program yet.
I have learned this negatively effects Store Search algorithms when it gets released to the public.
What can I do?
You've got a few options.
Stop using the Play store for quick iterations. Install your app using adb on your development device.
Stop uninstalling. Why uninstall and re-install? Why not just increase the version code?
Use a play store internal test track for your updates. Increasing the version code for each upload. This won't be visible to any users, as long as you don't change the version string. The version code is a 32 bit integer, so even if you did it 10 times a day, it would take you allmost 600,000 years before you ran out of version codes.

IE11 compatibility questions

We have a pretty huge HTML / JavaScript application written in a 15 year span that several programmers updated, edited and patched. We use this application on our computers (about 60 PCs) to teach languages online. The PCs that are used by our teachers are all Windows 8.1 (last update made in 2015), and the current IE version that's running the application is (it works only on IE):
Version: 11.0.9600.17937
Update version: 11.0.22
The decision to stop updating the computers was made due to the worry of compatibility issues. I'm taking over the position of the previous IT guy and I think it would be mandatory to update all machines with Windows 10 and the latest version of IE.
I would like to know your opinion and if there could be any compatibility issues between the IE11 version we are currently using and the latest version available on Windows 10.
I'm going to test myself the whole thing anyway.
Thank you for your help.

memory instruments not working in xcode

After some upgrades to Xcode i am experiencing a strange situation:
when i start instruments to profile my apps (both on ios or mac) it works well with all the instruments (for example cpu monitor, or i/o monitors) but i cannot use the memory management ones: Allocations, Leaks, Object graph. If i start the profile window by clicking on leaks it just opens an empty "Instruments document", and if i drag them from the library panel they don't show up, but all the others do. Anybody is experiencing this behaviour? Maybe some missing library?
My Xcode version is "Version 4.2 Build 4D199" and my instruments version is "Version 4.2 (4233)"
I solved this by updating Xcode to version 4.2.1 (Build 4D502).
One thing that I noticed, since I've installed Xcode using the Mac App Store, was that the update process behaves like the install - it downloads an app called "Install Xcode" which you run to install/update. So be sure to run the installation app after first time download or update.

Direct upgrade of RTM OS version to Mango

I have HTC Trophy with build 7.0.7004.0 - RTM version, unlocked for development.
Now I would like to upgrade to Mango and have the following questions:
Can I upgrade directly from RTM to Mango? I know there have been other updates in the past (e.g. NoDo), but I did not install any of them, I still have the original OS I got with the purchase of the device. Can I upgrade directly to Mango or will I have to run pre-Mango updates before Mango update?
Will Mango update lock my device again? Or will it remain unlocked?
Thanks
The Mango update will take care of installing previous updates if required -- even uninstalling previous updates if required (e.g., it will remove pre-release versions of Mango) -- and install the Mango bits. As directed, it may require more than one reboot cycle before you're done, and can take a long time depending on what needs to get added or removed. Don't get overly excited and disconnect the phone just because you see it restart (like I did the first time : ).
Your developer unlocked device stays developer unlocked after upgrading to Mango. Whoopie!

Very confused about XCode 4 (after upgrading from 3.x)

My world was perfect when I had XCode version 3.x (3.1 or 3.2?).
Then one day, after upgrading my iPhone device to ios 4, i tried to deploy an app to my device. For some reason I thought that i needed XCode 4 (or SDK 4) in order to deploy directly to an ios 4.0 device (via xcode) because it was giving me an error(s) i've never seen before that seemed it was suggesting I upgrade XCode/SDK.
So now i have XCode 4.0 installed (build 4A304a) and am in a situation where I can't build my code, things are breaking left and right, and on top of it all I have to learn XCode all over again!!
Now here are my questions:
A) Do I need XCode 4 (and/or SDK 4) in order to deploy directly to an ios 4 device?
B) Do I have the right version of XCode?
C) I think there is a new Xcode version out, 4.02 or something. Should I get that right away?
D) Every time I download a new XCode, does it install "next" to the previous XCode versions? (it is a completely new XCode installation or does it upgrade any existing versions?)
Taking your questions in order:
A) Do I need XCode 4 (and/or SDK 4) in
order to deploy directly to an ios 4
device?
No, you can happily use Xcode 3.x to deploy to an iOS 4.x device. That said, if you want to develop using SDK features that are only present in SDK 4.3 or greater, you'll need to use Xcode 4.x as Xcode 3.x is only available as a package with version 4.2 of the SDK.
B) Do I have the right version of
XCode?
Being realistic, you'll need to move to using Xcode 4.x at some point, so you might as well bite the bullet now and get used to the new environment. Whilst it might take a while, it's worth the transition. (IMHO.) :-)
C) I think there is a new Xcode
version out, 4.02 or something. Should
I get that right away?
As Xcode 4.x is still fairly new they're patching it quite frequently. As such, if bandwidth isn't an issue, you might as well stay on top of Xcode releases. That said, unless you encounter a bug that's specific to a release, there's no requirement for you to do this.
D) Every time I download a new XCode,
does it install "next" to the previous
XCode versions? (it is a completely
new XCode installation or does it
upgrade any existing versions?)
By default Xcode will install over any existing versions. However, you can select a different destination during the install process if you want to run multiple versions in parallel.
Upgrading to Xcode 4 is indeed disruptive, luckily Apple doesn't do that too often. My experience with Apple technology is that you better go with the latest.
Personally: It took me 3 weeks to become break even in productivity. Now I'm more productive.
A: dunno, probably
B: yes
C: yes
D: in apple's tradition: it overwrites
