I have to use JSON-RPC for my Windows phone 8.1 app. I have been google-ing for hours and haven't found anything related to JSON-RPC AND Windows phone 8.1 (or even 8). I have found multiple JSON examples and also JSON-RPC libraries for windows phone 7, but nothing for windows phone 8.1.
Can anyone give me a push in the right direction? It doesn't have to work for Windows Modern and Windows Phone apps both, however it would be prefered.
In the end I used http://jsonrpc2.codeplex.com/
I had to make slight changes to the code, because some of the things weren't working, since it was made for windows phone 7 and not Windows Universal 8.1. However now it works great, without too much work.
You can find the windows phone 7 code here:

I am an experienced dev that haven't been writing too much code lately, so a bit rusty and would like to have some help in creating the right environment for developing apps for BOTH Win Phone 8.1 (which is what I am carrying on me and would like to test with) and also Win 10 apps (UWP). This is in order to save myself a lot of time in trial and error, which is what I have been doing lately without success.
I have a box at home that is now Windows 10, and I think it was Windows 8 when I bought it. It has both VS 2013 and VS 2015, and I tried to download all the right SDK's to be able to use the Windows Phone 8.1 emulator. It was a nightmare, including going to the BIOS and enabling the Hyper-V thing (I think it worked at some point). Currently I'm having too many problems related to the dev environment, and its getting frustrating. Even the Win 10 emulator is not working. So no UWP emulator nor Windows Phone 8.1 emulator for me right now.
So instead of tackling these problems one by one, my plan is to buy myself a new laptop and build it right, with everything that I need in order to be able to write both Win Phone 8.1 apps, as well as Xamarin, and Windows 10 apps.
I'm wondering if I can ask for a comprehensive list of specifications for me, including recommended OS version (Will Win 7 work? I prefer it), VS version, SDK's, etc.. My goal is that after I buy and setup this laptop, all i'll have to do is just choose the right project and start writing.
Thanks.
Wow, downvoted just like that - not sure why so much.
If someone is looking for an answer or pointer, here's a reply in another forum, which helped me at least:
VS 2017 does not support development of Windows 8.1 store apps - phone or PC. See this link for platform compatibility. You will need to fallback to using VS 2015 for any Windows 8.1 projects. I do Windows 8.1 and 10 development on a single system and it works fine. You just have to have both VS 2015 & 2017 installed. Windows 7 will not work for developing 8.1 and 10 apps. Windows 8.1 has a Universal app target that allowed you to create a single app for PC and phone (I've never used it), but it is nothing like the Windows 10 UWP platform.
I have a full fledged app built for windows 8.1...
Through my research, I discovered that the api changes between 8.1 and 10 is nt that much and an app built for 8.1 will work on 10..
So my question now is will a windows 10 app work on windows 8.1?
If yes, how can I go about it?
I've created a report on changes for WinAPI 8 vs WinAPI 10 that may help you to discover differences in details. It's available on this page. The report is generated with the help of the ABI-CC tool.
Since apps built for WP8.1 don't work on WP8, then I doubt that Windows 10 Mobile apps will work on WP8.1. As far as I'm aware, there are more differences between those two systems' API than between 8.1 and 8.0
Btw, are you asking about the desktop systems or the mobile ones (as the tag you used suggests)?
I'm creating apps for windows phone pretty much since the beginning and I was wondering..
Will the Windows Phone apps run on Windows 10 (for Phone) ?
I could not find an answer anywhere and I wonder if the Windows Phone store will just disappear with the new version of Windows.
As Erno said: We don't know yet. But there have been a few clues indeed. I got a newsletter a week ago where Microsoft issued a new challenge on DVLUP that suggests making apps ready for Windows Phone 10 means at least porting them to Windows Phone 8.1:

Also you can find this statement:
We’re more committed than ever to making sure that you can leverage your work to reach more customers, regardless of where they are, what device type they’re on, or what operating system they’re running. The best way to start preparing for Windows 10 is to start building universal Windows apps today for Windows 8.1.

So with all this in mind Windows 10 seems to drop Silverlight for Windows Runtime (at least they are heavily promoting migrating apps there).
After upgrading my 830 to Windows 10 preview, it seems like even Windows phone 7 apps still work under Windows 10 for phone.
I still wonder how are they going to handle the different stores though.
Anyway, I got my answer.
Wait and see !
Am sure that a Windows Phone 8.1 silver light app would continue to run on Windows 10 Mobile you don't even need to upgrade to Windows 10 OS running Visual Studio 2015 to manage your app on Windows 10 Mobile you can continue to develop with the existing development environment(Windows 8.1 and VS 2013). For the query related to the store please follow the link Get ready for the Unified Dev Center dashboard preview and upcoming Store changes
Can anybody provide me the link or blog-post for kernel level and core features differences between windows phone 7 and windows phone 8?
From a developers point of view? :Nokia has a guide for side by side development highlighting the differences
You can see difference between Windows phone 7 and Windows phone 8 here.
Don't forget you've acces to the update system information here with new features by updates...
But all windows phone devices have not already the last version of the system.
Also, a new "Big Update" named "GDR2" ( it's the windows phone 8.1 version) is actually in progress for the windows phone 8... lot of websites list all new features for this update. here for sample.
i know that microsoft removed support for C/C++ for windows phone 7, and that only C# is allowed to develope applications for windows phone 7.
but i know of a compiler (Pelles C) which supports windows mobile 6.5 and smart phones, i asked on their forum month ago but got no reply.
does anyone know if it supports Windows Phone 7? or any other compiler that supports native development for windows phone 7? doesnt have to be from microsoft.
ps: i dont have windows phone 7 phone, i have 6.5, just wanna know if i coded some applications for my phone, will i be able to port it to windows phone 7 or not
thanks.
No, Windows Phone 7 only supports managed applications, unless you can get the app bundled with the phone via a carrier or manufacturer.
