I am trying to develop using the BLE api.
However no matter what I try, I am only getting useless test data back.
A workaround would be possible using Web Bluetooth, however, I can't append a button outside of the plugin iframe.
What would your suggested way of developing with the bluetooth functionality?
Are you sure you turned on the Bluetooth feature in your plugin.json ? See documentation here https://github.com/BuildFire/sdk/wiki/Low-Energy-Bluetooth-Service
Once that is completed make sure you rebuild your app (hard build) since your app need to request permission to access Bluetooth. If you aren’t prompted when you install the app to allow Bluetooth access, then something isn’t right.

I am building a tool in which I am using windows device portal wrapper in order to connect and access hololen's device portal.
I would like to be able to get/set kiosk mode from my tool so I dont need to go to device portal and do it manually.
Windows device portal wrapper doesnt give any functionality to access kiosk mode though.
Does anyone know the web api path for this?
Thanks in advance
So since it looks like you're building a tool for converting HoloLens into Kiosks, you need to do this at scale. If you are looking to create a different method of converting your HoloLens into Kiosks, I think you should go provisiong packages.
Provisioning packages will let you make a package you can keep applying to multiple HoloLens. Also some companies don't like enabling developer mode, and this is a method that doesn't have a security risk. Also device portal only allows a single app Kiosk, where as you could create a Multi app Kiosk if you wanted using other methods.

Do this help things? I know it's not actually what you were looking for, but hopefully it helps. It it doesn't let me know, I might have a different potential solution.
Kiosk Mode can be set via Device Portal’s REST API by doing a POST to /api/holographic/kioskmode/settings with one required query string parameter (“kioskModeEnabled” with a value of “true” or “false”) and one optional parameter (“startupApp” with a value of a package name). Please keep in mind that Device Portal is intended for developers only and should not be enabled on non-developer devices. The REST API is subject to change in future updates/releases.
I am trying to build an application (converting rather), that builds into a server (UNET/ Mirror wise), a windows client, Oculus Go client and UWP client. More platforms will be implemented in the future.
Unless I did not tackle this the right way, the Toolkit does not seem to be capable of doing this with just one profile, or maybe not at all.
E.g.: I need the mouse for Windows and motion controllers for UWP. Having both in the MixedRealityInputSystemProfile spawns both on UWP. If I don't add the mouse I have nothing on Windows Standalone. This leads me to the conclusion that I have to create multiple profiles. But the MixedRealityToolkit only references a single one. Does that mean I have to additively load a different Toolkit with it's configuration for any platform configuration I want?
The DefaultMixedRealityInputSystemProfile already contains a lot of inputs, which makes me think it should be capable of doing that, but it looks like it does so to a certain degree and then fails.
Thinking further about this:
What if I want an UWP app, but for MR Portal only, or for UWP Standalone only. What about Oculus Go (Android) and Android mobile? The differentiation would be using the Oculus SDK under Android. Using it under windows would result in the Rift being used I guess.
Where do I branch off what?
I believe you can specify which input providers you want on different platforms. For example, if you want a MouseProvider in Windows only, the you can specify the Mouse Input Data Provider to run only on Windows via the “supported platforms” field of the mouse data provider.
Similarly you can enable the motion controllers using same technique.
While there are not yet ways to specify completely different configurations for different platforms, it is possible to solve your specific case of input by configuring the input data providers.
I'm creating an app that needs to connect the firefox os to another dispositive using the bluetooth API, but this API is just allowed to Certified Apps, has somehow to allow an Sandbox mode and allow the installation only in my cellphone?
As Jason said, you can create a certified application, but you won't be able to publish it to the Firefox OS Marketplace: it's good for internal deployment with the App Manager. If you want to use Bluetooth API, and make your application publicly available, it's not possible right now.
You can make use of web activities as well but that will open the Gaia's bluetooth app for file transfer.
I heard before from someone that we will be able to use Bluetooth API in v1.3 but I guess it's still not accessible. Let's wait for v1.4.
What I know is 2.2 will expose Bluetooth API, so you could use it at the end of 2015 when FxOS 2.2 device hit the market...
I just wanted to know if there is a way to upload images to Instagram WITHOUT using iOS / Android?
I'm really desperate for a solution, if I can't find anything I will have to run a virtual android device or something like that (I have a virtual machine running Windows XP 24/7 anyway)!
Instagram's official RESTful API does not allow for uploading photos, since they want to encourage "life on the go."
However, some work has been put together to document their iPhone API, and some unofficial client libraries have even been made. Check out https://github.com/mislav/instagram/wiki
It seems that's your only alternative at the moment. None of the unofficial libraries look very complete, so you'd have to do the work of sending requests manually, using the reverse-engineered API specs provided in the wiki.
Is there such a thing as a Spotify remote control API? I want to write an app which lets the user control the Spotify desktop client (play, pause, volume, playlists, etc.) but I can't seem to find any documentation anywhere.
There are iOS and Android remote control apps out there so I'm just wondering how they do it if there isn't an API.
On Mac OS X, Spotify can be controlled 'remotely' (i.e. from other apps) using AppleScript, either using the bundled API or the System Events service.
Here's an example of using the bundled API: https://github.com/activars/spotify-applescript/blob/master/spotify_control.applescript
And another one using System Events (it isn't quite as elegant): http://www.jacktams.net/2010/04/28/spotify-applescripts-version-0-4-3/
Official documentation is a bit thin, although you should be able to use the AppleScript editor's library feature to find out more about the methods offered.
