What is the Description in WMAppMaifest.xml used for? - windows-phone-7

I'm trying to correctly fill in WMAppManifest.xml before I submit my app to the marketplace, but I'm not sure what to put in the Description field. It seems like all of that sort of info is taken from what you enter in the website when you submit your app, not the manifest file.

Yep, the description attribute is ignored when you submit to the marketplace. So you can just leave it blank.
Only the title attribute is used for regular apps. Mind you the publisher field is , if I recall correctly, used for XNA apps and music/picture hub integration.

D365 Phone number field - remove icon

I cant seem to find a way to delete this little phone Icon.
Im currently trying to remove this Icon via JavaScript but I cannot find a way to remove that Icon. Nothing I found in the formContext is useful. I thought that the control of formContext.getControl("myprefix_businessphone") has the icon in it, too. But the options there are for the field only (as far as I've found).
This is click-to-dial functionality for any phone number field in CRM UCI form. Anything you try from the internet suggestion is going to be unsupported which may break in future release.
Other choices are - you can have a new custom plain text field to store the phone number data instead of phone number format, or develop your own PCF control to render the same existing field without icon.

Format the about section in a Microsoft Teams App

When creating a Microsoft Teams app, I want to include some additional links and info to help my users. I understood that the App's Full Description section is displayed in the About section. I got to understand that the field supports markdown. This markdown renders well while trying to publish the app/when right clicking the app and clicking on About or just before adding to Teams. Look below.
But once you access this about section from inside Teams, this formatting is broken. I really want to show some information and links here as this is a Tabs app and we've certain conditions that we want our users to see. Are there any alternatives to get this working.

Custom form in Outlook Task is not syncing

My partner and I created a custom task form to be used in Outlook using the developer mode to do that, and we published it to the Organization Forms Library for anyone to open. We're running into issues that I personally can't seem to find on how to resolve:
Custom forms aren't syncing correctly.
When I complete out the custom form, and I assign it to someone else they might be missing details like the dates I picked from the date picker, and text within the text box are gone too. It's very odd that sometimes some would get all the details that an end-user would input but that's like a 1/8 chance. I feel like there's a disconnect where it just won't behave like any other task. Cache mode or no cache mode doesn't matter it seems. When the person assigns it back with changes made on their end, those changes aren't seen on my side. I just have the same original details that I made when I first made it. We're on Exchange Server 2010.
Looks like a custom form was not published correctly to others in the organization. Try to create a new Outlook item on other machines with your custom forms to make sure they were deployed correctly.
Note, message forms default to separate layouts for composing and reading. Many people find their first message form doesn't look right when they receive an item created with it. That's simply because they forgot to click the Edit Read Page button and customize the Read layout!

Why am I unable to add new version for TestFlight external testing?

I have an app that I have out for external testing; I have submitted two (2) different versions without any problems. Now, I am trying to submit another new version (#3), but when filling out the Test Flight Information the "next" button is disabled, preventing me from adding the new version.
Any ideas on how to fix this? or what the problem is?
I've had the same problem and finally got it working. First I had to go into safari, Chrome didn't work. You have to fill out every field for every language you have. Every. Single. One.
Then the next button finally became active.
Also the app description has to be over 10 characters long.
I'm submitting a bug report to apple because whoever made this was an idiot.
This is the workaround:
go to TestFlight for your app using Safari.
enter all of the data for all of your supported languages; it doesn't have to be in the language (I used English for all of the languages, French, German, Japanese, etc). Just make sure you are mindful of the length restrictions!
Next button is then enabled! And you can continue on... :D
I filled out everything, but still no Continue button gets activated. For some languages email and url field will appear for some not. I think something is really badly programmed there

TestFlight Requires Export Compliance Information
All TestFlight builds now require Export Compliance information. To answer Export Compliance questions and upload any necessary documentation, visit the new Encryption section in Features. Once your documentation is approved, you will receive a key string value to add to your build's Info.plist. Learn more in Resources and Help
in short, if your application has not put that in your encryption info.plist, can also resolve:
<key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key><false/>

Evaluate a string in wp7/wp8

I am currently doing my first application in the wp8 sdk and have come across a problem.
What I want to do is when the user clicks a hyperlink button, it evaluates a bound textbox (author) and send it as a search string to google.
"http://www.google.com/search?q="
Now I tried using the Eval method that is available in asp.net; but it did not work. I have also tried to find alternatives for it, but not much luck there either.
So my question is. Is there any way to send a search string to google, evaluating a string?
Just to mention, all of this is in windows phone 8 sdk. And is within a datatemplate.
Thanks
Setting the NavigateUri and Target on the HyperlinkButton should navigate to the web site. To construct the NavigateUri to include user input you can add an extra string property alongside your already bound Author property (wherever that lives) and just expose the root "http://www.google.com/search?q=" + Author. Once you have that bound to NavigateUri (and getting property change notifications along with Author) the button should launch with the user entered text included.
