WP7 Application update - windows-phone-7

I recently created an app for windows phone 7 and in final stage of development lets assume that its version is 1.0.. I can check if any update is available(eg. v1.1) through my website which returns a json. And if an update is available the user can download and install the update.
How do i setup it to automatically update it's version. i.e user just need to click OK if it prompts for an update and no need to go to marketplace..

Having determined that there is an update for the user, you could inform the user, and then show the MarketplaceDetailTask to enable the user to update the application.
NOTE: To show the details for the current application, you do not need to specify a value for the ContentIdentifier property.

The only way to update apps is to use the Windows Phone Marketplace, where updating apps is a integrated part of it.
So, no, you can't do what you're trying to do.

Error when login apple enterprise account in VS2022

I'm facing a really big problem.
I develope in VS2022 with a .net Maui application on my Windows 10 Laptop. Now I want to debug on my local iOS devices via .net Maui hot restart (https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/maui/deployment/hot-restart?view=net-maui-7.0).
I have an enterprise account from my company which is declared as an app-manager:
First I tried to add my enterprise account in Options>Xamarin>Apple Accounts. I just typed my user data in nothing else. I didn't downloaded any key or anything else. I tried to add it but I get the following error message:
The first time I tried to add it, it wasn't the same. I got the window to enter my code which was send on my phone. But the progress was interrupt because of a bad internet connection.
I allready contaced the apple support about this but they said if I can login in App Store Connect its not their problem and I have to contact Microsoft about this. The problem: The VS support I found wasn't free...
Sometimes when I reopen the Apple Account window my Apple-Id gets listed and also as an enterprise account. The only problem there is no Team I can select and the View Details button is not selectable:
So my question: What am I supposed to do? I need this access to work.
Thanks for your help.

You must have to login with the account holder account from your organization. That worked for me.

Programatically Start UWP app after installation

I am creating a Store Build for my UWP app. I would like the app to run automatically (without user intervention) once installed on end-user device. Is that possible? If so, how?
I’m afraid you can’t let the app run automatically after installation.
Currently, uwp doesn’t provide such api to do this. If you do want this feature, please feel free to submit your feature requirement with Windows Feedback Hub app.

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.

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

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.
