Switch Off Universal Navigation in Google Marketplace Application - google-apps-marketplace

We have a Marketplace app in the new Marketplace that we do not want the universal navigation extension to be visible for.
In the setup you can uncheck "Enable Universal Navigation extension". It then forces you to "Enable Drive extension".
we don't want either of these options. We only want API access, which is granted by installing the app from the marketplace.
Does anybody know the solution to this?

Don't think that there is any solution, either one is required.
Simply point the universal navigation to any HTML page with general info or your company website, it doesn't hurt.

Actually I found a workaround to solve this problem.
I enabled a "Drive Extension" but configured the Drive extension so that it never shows up in Drive by setting a "Default File Extension" that will never occur - eg "neveroccur".
Using this approach there is no universal navigation and my app can access the APIs for the whole organization. Users cannot see a drive extension as it never activates because the file type does not exist.

How to develop Microsoft Teams app for "App Bar and home screen"

I would like to create an application for Microsoft Teams but I don't understand what capability I have to exploit.
I would like the application to be called up from the application bar and opened to full screen.
The same behavior that occurs for the "App Studio" application.
I need to bring something that is not accessible, either by chat or tea; the app should manage a flow in a personal window.
I looked at the manifest definition document but found nothing.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/resources/schema/manifest-schema
I would like to replicate the application behavior like AppStudio or Microsoft Planner, to name a few.
For example App Studio
A possible alternative, could be to insert a button in the chats and open a popup with the configuration page.
I saw this behavior for the AzureDevOps extension.
Unfortunately this also seems to be a capability not available.

Do you have any idea how to do it?
Thanks a lot
Correct solution is static tab for personal use.

Disable GDrive UI integration (temporarily)

Is it possible to disable Google Drive UI integration, for our new Google Webstore App?
Our web app uses the Google Drive API scope for managing users' documents, but we don't yet support Google Drive UI integration (i.e. we don't have a page which can take in a document ID and show appropriate content. The user would have to navigate from the home page instead). The app has been rejected from the GAM on this basis, and Google directed us here for technical support.
I have seen the following in the UI:
In the 'Apps Marketplace SDK' settings, the checkbox for 'Google Drive SDK' is checked & disabled here (project ID replaced with XXXXX): https://console.developers.google.com/project/XXXXX/apiui/apiview/appsmarket_component/googleapps_sdk.
In the 'Drive SDK' settings, I cannot find a setting to disable Google Drive UI integration here (project ID replaced with XXXXX): https://console.developers.google.com/project/XXXXX/apiui/apiview/drive/drive_sdk
We do hope to integrate with the Google Drive UI in the future. In the meantime we would like our new app to be available to our customers, for installation by their domain administrators.
Is there a known way to achieve this?
Thanks
You should be able to disable the UI integration from the Developer Console.
In the Drive API's "Drive UI Integration" tab, find the "Creating files" checkbox and make sure it is unchecked. Also remove any MIME types you specified. You may want to uncheck any of the other checkboxes below "Creating files" that you may have checked. Save those changes.
In the GAM SDK settings, you can uncheck the "Drive extension" box and save. That should disassociate your GAM app from being a Drive app as well.

some of the iOS apps does not shows action extension feature in iOS8 devices

Basically when i do open in functionality in other apps basically it
will show tow options 1. open-in 2. extensions. But i am seeing some
of the apps not showing the other apps action extension feature. I do
not know how they are hiding it?. Or they doing something else to do
not show the other apps extensions other than iOS defaults action
extensions?.
Example:
YES: Mailbox, Dropbox, Box etc. - these app was able to show the other
apps action extension
NO: Evernote, Acompli, Zoho Docs - - these app does not shows the
other apps action extension.
Any idea? why evernote and Zoho not showing the other apps action extension feature?. Is there something they need to do on their side or i need to do on my side to make it show?.
Any help that might be really appreciated.
screenshots attached.
Action and Share extensions have an activation rule, which is stored as NSExtensionActivationRule in their Info.plist. These extensions only appear if the host app is sharing data that matches the activation rule. For example, if an app shares images and the extension can only handle text, the extension will not be displayed as an option in that app.

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....

How to create a custom app entry inside the Application Settings with Windows Phone SDK

Do you know if the Windows Phone SDK offers an API that allows to add a custom App entry inside the Application Settings page?
I would like to create a new entry "AppXYZ" that links the settings page of the application.
Is this view reserved just for "system" applications or could also be used to add a link to an external app's settings?
Although not well-known, there is a way to do that. In WMAppManifest.xml you can specify that your app belongs in HubType="268435456". That way, it will be integrated there. This is not an officially-supported approach and I am yet to see a third-party app approved in the Store that would handle this.
You can link to the settings page of your own application but not to the windows phone settings page you show us in the screenshot. Developers are only allowed to show some of these by using the corresponding URL schmemes.
Unfortuantely there is no possibility to integrate your app to the official settings hub as a third party developer. Adding HubType="268435456" in your WMAppManifest.xml file will prevent a successful sumbission.
Sorry for the bad news...
