Unable to remove unneeded platforms from console - chatbase

In the chatbase UI, when I try to filter by a specific platform, there are a large number of platforms that don't mean anything to me. There is no way I can find to remove/clean up these platforms.
Tried reaching out to chatbase support, but they are unresponsive.
Not sure it's a coding problem
again, it's not a coding problem.

I work for Chatbase. I was able to look into your message data and noticed that we are receiving random code snippets in the platform

NFC background task

I'm struggling in finding a working solution and I need aid.
I am working on a small IoT project where I want to abuse NFC tags.
I've succeeded in reading/writing in the open app but I wish to read while the app is closed.
More or less I just want to send a small UDP message when reading the appropriate NFC tag, which turns out is a bit more difficult doing in a background task.
The main headache is that I can't find a task trigger that runs upon NFC chatter. I've tried SmartCardsTrigger and ProximitySensorTrigger from the following sources:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/devices-sensors/host-card-emulation
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/ProximitySensor
The ProximitySensorTrigger seems like it's almost triggering at random, and kinda triggers less when I push the NFC tag against the phone. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
The SmartCardsTrigger doesn't trigger at all. I guess the EmulatorNearFieldEntry trigger type is what I want but for some reason it's unsupported (?).
Anyhow, I am using a Lumia 920 running windows 10 mobile. To my knowledge it does not support smartcards but I just hoped it could use the same trigger for NFC tags.
Reading the responses on a similar question, Akash Chowdary suggested that it may be possible writing a custom trigger. If you know any tips that may point me in the right direction then please do tell them. I got the competence in researching but it's a big sea, and it would really help knowing where to start ^^.
I'm quite the noob when it comes to background tasks, and I am very confused of why after registering a SmartCardTrigger task I have no tasks running.
If I do for example a TimezoneChange trigger or a ProximitySensor trigger, the task is shown as it should. Maybe because my Lumia doesn't support the SmartCardTrigger? Would've guessed it to thrown an error if that's the case but what do I know.
Tl;dr: I want to read NFC tags in a background task, how do I do that on a Lumia 920 inside a basic UWP project?

Syncml device emulator

I have been trying to create a device simulator for SyncML. Input would be DevInf information, using which some test cases have to be run.
Been searching on the net for quite some time now, even tried funambol and syncevo, but could not acheive this. Funambol has no support, so dropped it. Code does not compile. Inactive.
Syncevo is quite good, command line based. But is very tightly coupled with the base and hacking the devinf is not a simple task.
Can you suggest a way of implementing this, i am out of ideas now.
Regards
PS: i also tried exploring for OMA-SCTS, but seems to be outdated. Latest version is not available.

Kiosk program (web browser), deployment struggles

Okay, here's a complicated one I've been breaking my head over all week.
I'm creating a self service system, which allows people to identify themselves by barcode or by smartcard, and then perform an arbitrary action. I run a Tomcat application container locally on each machine to serve up the pages and connect to external resources that are required. It also allows me to serve webpages which I then can use to display content on the screen.
I chose HTML as a display technology because it gives a lot of freedom as to how things could look. The program also involves a lot of Javascript to interact with the customer and hardware (through a RESTful API). I picked Javascript because it's a natural complement to HTML and is supported by all modern browsers.
Currently this system is being tested at a number of sites, and everything seems to work okay. I'm running it in Chrome's kiosk mode. Which serves me well, but there are a number of downsides. Here is where the problems start. ;-)
First of all I am petrified that Chrome's auto-update will eventually break my Javascript code. Secondly, I run a small Chrome plugin to read smartcard numbers, and every time the workstation is shutdown incorrectly Chrome's user profile becomes corrupted and the extension needs to be set up again. I could easily fix the first issue by turning off auto-update but it complicates my installation procedure.
Actually, having to install any browser complicates my installation procedure.
I did consider using internet explorer because it's basically everywhere, but with the three dominant versions out there I'm not sure if it's a good approach. My Javascript is quite complex and making it work on older versions will be a pain. Not even mentioning having to write an ActiveX component for my smartcards.
This is why I set out to make a small browser wrapper that runs in full screen, and can read smartcard numbers. This also has downsides. I use Qt: Qt's QtWebkit weighs a hefty 10MB, and it adds another number of dependencies to my application.
It really feels like I have to pick from three options that all have downsides. It really is something I should have investigated before I wrote the entire program. I guess it is a lesson learnt well.
On to the questions:
Is there a pain free way out of this situation? (probably not)
Is there a browser I can depend on without adding tens of megabytes to my project?
Is there another alternative you could suggest?
If you do not see another way out, which option would you pick?

Android Market Developer Console Statistics

I would like to get some stats programmatically about my app; for example: total downloads, active installs...
I wish google would give an api for doing this. What do people do?
There currently is no API, and it is possible to get these statistics, but it's quite complicated (you have to get an AuthSub token for the market developer service, and then do the right requests and parse a number of GWTRPC encoded responses. These GWTRPC responses change everytime they launch a new version of the android market dashboard, so be prepared to monitor frequently whether this has happened).
In a recent chat with one of the Android folks from Google I heard that they are aware of this issue and know that it's a very popular demand by developers, so hopefully there will be a better way soon.

UIWebview issues

I am using a UIwebview in my iphone app. It is working fine. No memory leaks when you browse websites, google, news etc. But when you start a video in youtube then it shows me many memory leaks (Under AudioToolBox library). How do I fix them. I imported AVFoundation.h and audioToolBox.h and added these frameworks but I am still getting the same problem.
One more thing, I know apple checks no connectivity condition. Means when there is no internet available or connection problem then user must get some message about connection issues. How do you do that? How do i check internet is connected? what kind of message do you show? Alert or something else?
Do I also need to show activity indicator? How do you show that? can you please reply with sample code?
Apple's designated way of checking connectivity is "try it first". If you get connection problems, you can diagnose with their Reachability suite, available here. But always try first, because Reachability can give false negatives in some situations.
As far as UIWebView's memory problems, I don't think you're in a position to do anything about them. Hope they get fixed in iOS5, I guess. If you want to use AVMediaPlayer for rich media, like Safari and UIWebView do, use it directly, rather than going through WebKit.
