I have a problem. I recently installed VS 2015 and Windows 10 on my computer.
Having Universal Apps are amazing and I plan to convert some of my programs on UWP.
But I have a problem. In one of my programs, I allow the user to save its datas on its OneDrive. And if OneDrive is unavailable, the datas are stored on local devices.
And when OneDrive is available, the newly stored datas are pushed to OneDrive. Synchronisation in fact.
So it is the problem. In the UWP dll named Universal.Live I have installed Live SDK 6 with Nuget. During the package installation, there is some work done to see if the Live SDK is compatible with UWP.
Great ! It's compatible and successfully installed.
But when I wrote
using Microsoft.Live;
The name is not recognized. And if I use the class LiveAuthClient which is in the namespace, it isn't recognized too...
This is a real problem :( Any ideas ?
I had the same issue adding the Live SDK to my app. For some reason the Package.JSON isn't correctly resolving and downloading the package (or recognizing it).
Either way, just add the DLL to your references the old fashioned way. Personally, I'd just add it to a console app (not using the new Project.json package), get it from NUGET, and grab the DLL from the Packages.
After you have the DLL:
Right click on References
Add Reference -> Browse...
Find the DLL and add it. ("...\\packages[LiveSdk]...")
It works!
Download it from here, Compile it, and grab the desktop SDK:
https://github.com/liveservices/LiveSDK-for-Windows
You can also download the msi, install it, figure out where the DLL is installed to and grab it from there:

According to this GitHub issue, LiveSDK isn't supposed to be used for Universal Windows Platform apps: https://github.com/liveservices/LiveSDK-for-Windows/issues/58
Instead we should use these SDKs that cover the same functionality:
Mail/Calendar/Contacts: https://dev.outlook.com/
Files/OneDrive: https://dev.onedrive.com/

For some reason(about the digital signature of the desktop bridge app, see here), I can't use visual studio to package my project. Makeappx seems to be able to do this, but those commands are too complex for me. Is there an easier way to achieve this?
Or to put it another way, how can I directly refer to the EXE file (which I can sign) rather than just the project in the application package project?
If Visual Studio is too complicated I recommend you get the free Express edition from Advanced Installer.
In the link include you can find a video that shows how to build an MSIX package (for bundle just change the radio button option from Builds page).
Additional info -

I downloaded Android studio from their website for windows. It contained 790 Mb. But there is a message shown like
SDK is missing
I followed answers for this issue of missing android studio SDK in here. But my problem is not solved yet.
I have another problem. There is a message shown
SDK does not contain any platforms
when I chose the SDK location by going to configure > project defaults > project structure.
May be some files are not downloaded,try again with your internet connection.It will ask to download some additional files, press allow.
this problem faced by almost everyone due to network problem .
You can easily resolve this error. I suggest you ,if any of your friends already installed android studio then copy sdk from him/her and paste into your sdk path and don't forget to delete sdk.
In this process ,your internet should work so that rest of the things it can download .
this is the best and easy way to resolve sdk error.After that you can download platform tools easily by going to settings>>Android sdk>> sdk tools.
Open the SDK Manager to download the NDK bundle.When your download completed, maybe there'r two different folders you have. One is ndk-bundle the other is ndk/22.0.7026061(the version you choose to download). And just use the behind one
As the log said before. Make sure you have config the ndk.dir in local.properties or the system global path variable.Or you also can open the project structure dialog to choose the Ndk location.Still use the behind folder( ndk/22.0.7026061).
If you have config it and still have the same problem.you can use the SDK Manager to download the NDK lower version one（like 21.0.6113669）.Cause it may not match to your AS version
Then repeat the step two
That's work nice for me
I am attempting to convert the Microsoft.Health C# class library that is installed as part of the HealthVault SDK, using instructions provided here. After following these instructions, I get the following error when attempting to load the project into Visual Studio 2013.
"The project is targeting frameworks hat are either not installed or
are included as part of future updates to Visual Studio. See
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=287985"
Visiting the link takes me to .NET SDKs and Downloads. Once there, I have no clue on what needs to be done.
I do realize that one will have to leverage the Portable Class Library Contrib project to fill in some missing bits, especially code related to System.Security. This, I will deal with later.
Any one run into a similar problem?
Maybe so late but for those who have the same problem.
I had the same error in a project which was working perfect before updating VS2013 and finally after 3 hours looking for the source of the error I found that the error is about TargetFrameworkProfile.
In my case I sloved it like so:
Right click in the unloaded project in your solution and click Edit.
Find the TargetFrameworkProfile tag and set it as below:
<TargetFrameworkProfile>Profile78</TargetFrameworkProfile>
At a guess, this is because you need to specify the TargetFrameworkVersion and TargetFrameworkProfile properties in the project file. Compare the .csproj you are trying to create to a newly created PCL project file, and make sure that everything that's not specific to your project matches.
I ran into the same issue and got it resolved by installing the latest Visual Studio Update
I've downloaded Crashlytics app that integrates Crashlytics.framework into XCode project, and it works great for XCode. But as far as I know, to build Xamarin.iOS binding I need static library, and I can't find it neither in framework nor in Crashlytics.app contents. There is only "run" executable and header. I don't know how to use it under Xamarin.iOS. Btw, AndrewReed on Xamarin forum managed to build dll somehow, so it's possible.
So, how to create crashlytics binding for Xamarin?
AndrewReed answered this question on Xamarin forum:
As with quite a few sdk's, sometimes they bundle a folder instead of the static lib,which essentially is the static library. There will be a sizeable file that maybe doesnt have an extension(this is your .a file) so you can rename that to be .a and then include that in a xamarin bindings project. Run the sharpie marker on the header file in the folder which will generate your necessary files. Watch out for one gotcha, delegate is a reserved word in c#, so you may need to go around and change this by adding an # symbol(to the name) to allow you to use the reserved word.
So what I actually did was, created a project in xcode and ran the crashlytics programme, this then added the crashlytics framework to the project. In finder locate that and you will have a structure like so: - run - /Versions --/A ---Crashlytics ---/Headers ----Crashlytics.h
So the /A folder is essentially your static lib, use this and create your binding from that, or in this particular case, just download it from the mono bindings || my repo.
If you're looking for an officially supported crash reporting plugin, Crittercism just released one (Full disclosure: I'm one of the co-founders). You can download the bindings from the Xamarin store here: http://components.xamarin.com/view/crittercism
The latest version of Xamarin seems to have it build in.
Here are the steps that I followed
1.) In the Xamarin Studio , go to the main app, and add the Crashlytics API key in the Build -> Crash reporting section. Build and run that app. The evidence suggests that is enough to get data sent to Crashlytics. I saw that it knew about older versions of the app I had built and ran weeks ago with the API key already in.
2.) Go to Xcode and create a new project with the same name as the Xamarin project, com.{company}.{appname}. (You probably need to have that profile downloaded.) I did it in Swift by the way with no issues.
3.) Go to crashlytics.com com and go to settings -> Apps (or https://www.crashlytics.com/onboard)
4.) You will get an app to download and run. The app walks through the steps of adding
A.) A build phase run script
B.) Code to the application main Crashlytics.startWithAPIKey(“nnnn”)
5.) Run your Xcode version of the app
The Crashlytics web page popped up immediately.
So I've been working on a game, and the sheer number of projects has become unmanageable. Enter NuGet.
I wanted to ensure my code would work on different devices, so I've been making these projects as Portable Class Libraries. I needed to use these on XBox, Windows, iOS, Android, and Silverlight. I created some custom custom SupportedFrameworks in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETPortable\v4.0\Profile\Profile1\SupportedFrameworks
Specifically MonoAndroid and VSMonoTouch
I successfully turned one of these PCLs into a NuGet package, but when I try to add them to another PCL of the same profile I get this error:
Could not install package 'Framework.dll 1.0.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.0,Profile=Profile1', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
The package folder was brought down and contains a folder named: portable-win+net40+MonoAndroid16+sl40+net10+wp+Xbox40 and indeed contains the requested dll. I am able to add this dll to my project manually, so I believe this may be a bug in NuGet. I investigated this online, and found the main fix was to update NuGet, because the newest version plays nicer with PCLs. I've updated, but to no avail.
Has anyone seen this before, or am I missing something obvious? Any help would be greatly appriated =)
Thanks,
Joshua
It looks like you are using ".NETFramework" for the identifier in the XML file you put in the Profile1 SupportedFrameworks folder. This was basically a hack to get iOS projects building on Windows, but with real support for that scenario you should change that identifier to MonoTouch. Then when you create the package it should use monotouch in place of net10 for the lib/portable-x+y+z folder.
Then, as #Deepak suggests, install the nightly build of NuGet. Then you should be able to install the NuGet package into your PCL project. If you do try this, please let me know whether it worked or not. :)
