My organization has purchased a number of Hololens 2 devices. These devices are shared, and need to support multiple users. However, when users log in, they are required to download a "Microsoft Authenicator app" on their personal phone and associate it with their company account. This is severely frowned upon. (Moreover, the hololens gives a QR code which must be scanned; rather difficult to scan an augmented reality QR code!)
How can we drop the requirement that users need to create a "Windows Hello" pin to use a Hololens 2?
(Strangely, I am able to dismiss the Windows Hello dialog box, but other users are not. Is this a clue to help us move forward?)
Well the easiest way to circumvent is to first log in and then reset the device and add a non corporate Microsoft account and share the details with your manager and dev ops person.
After adding a non-corporate account, you can remove the Window Hello and Pin things from the settings.

I'm try to get the log data from a SpeedFace v5l.
When I call the
ReadGeneralLogData(machineNumber);
I get false.
If I call the
ReadAllUserID(machineNumber);
I get true.
Any idea why this could be?
When I check the last error. I got 0 ERR_NO_DATA, but we have events on the device
Newly launched ZkTeco devices are not compatible with their SDKs. You have to relay on their web application as officially no SDKs are launched for new devices. Some of the operations given in the SDK will make the SpeedFace V5L to display the "Authendication Failure" randomly. Once this error comes, you have to flash the device, no other option.
So, don't try with ZK's old/new SDKs with new devices with temperature and mask detections. If you need web API, you can try with CAMS (http://camsunit.com/application/biometric-web-api.html), Zk's API Partner.
Choice the Time Attendance Terminal will make the device working with UTimeMaster, BioTime 8.0, TA Push SDK, Attendance Management software or offline SDK.
Choice the Access Control Terminal will make device working with ZKBioAccess software or AI AC Push SDK.
For that go to "System" -> "Device Type Setting" -> and choice the "Time Attendance Terminal"
But this attendance, the access control is best to be modified at the beginning. If the customer is uploaded, it is easy to modify it easily, because the user data and record are all deleted because of the modification.
It is really easy to write your own ADMSServer.
So if you would like to write your own program and interact with the camera. I would contact ZKTeco Europe and ask for documentation.
With a query command the camera will then push the attendance records to your endpoint.
Can PWA access contacts, gps or use the phone camera?
Is this possible in any system (ios, android) ?
Is there any plan in development to implement any of these features ?
There are some restrictions that cannot be overcome with a PWA:
- you cannot access the contacts list on a phone. - On the other hand, you can take photos and use GPS location.
On whatwebcando.today web site you can have a list of APIs available via browser compared to native apps. If you click on one feature, you can see a sample snippet showing how you can implement it and also details about the browsers support.
UPDATE 30.09.2019
From Chrome v77 there is a new experimental API available: Contact Picker
The Contact Picker API is an on-demand API that allows users to select entries from their contact list and share limited details of the selected entries with a website. It allows users to share only what they want, when they want.
For example, a web-based email client could use the Contact Picker API to select the recipient(s) of an email. A voice-over-IP app could look up which phone number to call.
Hence it might be that the the remaining PWA restrictions will be solved in a near future.
It depends on the device the PWA is running on.
Camera and audio seem to be universally supported. Contacts, on the other hand, seem to be inaccessible regardless of platform.
Other features, such as GPS and geolocation may vary from device to device.
A good way to find out what your browser is capable of (and thus your PWA - it runs in a web browser) is to go to https://whatwebcando.today with the browser you want to support. Try visiting it with an iPhone, Android or other device for a list of enabled features.
This list changes as browser and OS developers increase access to native features, so there's a good change that if it isn't available now, it will be in the future. However, it's important to be aware that some features such as access to the wider file system and hardware configuration are likely to remain sandboxed for security reasons.
We’re building a mobile solution on windows 8 i.e. Windows Store App, enabling real time collaboration features for maintenance personnel to connect with Customer Support team. We are leveraging Lync 2010 client SDK to support the collaboration needs. The following are the key functionality we plan to enable with in the app
Text Conversations
Audio Conversations
Video Conversations
File Sharing (Send/Receive)
Remote Desktop Sharing
White board sharing
The following is the approach we’ve taken to integrate Lync with Windows Store app:
Lync will be running in UI Suppression Mode & app will communicate with Lync client through SDK APIs, since the functionality is needed within the application.
Lync Assemblies are wrapped in WCF service, since Lync SDK is not available for Windows Store apps.
We are currently able to enable Text & Audio Conversations through SDK in UI Suppression mode
We right now are in need of an approach to enable File sharing between the app & Lync standard Client.
The option available for file transfers is through contextual conversations which requires GUID exchange as per the below references.
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Lync-2010-Transferring-f766e7aa
We want to know if this scenario works between Windows Store App & standard Lync Client, if not request to advise the right approach.
Along with File transfers, we'd also need the approach to enable video conversations, remote desktop/white board sharing with the current approach (Lync -> WCF Service -> Windows Store app) as from SDK it is not clear how we get stream data which can be forwarded to Windows Store app.
Just found out that Desktop/Whiteboard/Resource sharing is not possible in UI Suppression mode, (reference below)
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/communicatorsdk/thread/1a7355fe-5c64-4b11-ba25-ce18d6bdd3dd
The following behavior will be the concern from user experience point of view in case of Automation APIs, especially for Windows Store App, considering their full screen behavior
On starting a conversation, corresponding conversation window flashes and takes the user to desktop, user will have to manually go to the windows store app, post this event. The conversation window can be docked in case of desktop apps, i.e. WinForms/WPF using DockWindow(),is there a way for Windows Store app?
Incoming call notifications are bubbled which disturbs the user experience with the Windows Store App
User has to accept the file transfers to receive, in the conversation window, manually
Please advise if there is a best solution to avoid the above behavior if Automation API is the only option to go with for Windows Store App.
I'm working on an enterprise iPhone application for a client, the issue at hand is customer information will show up on the phone. My client is worried that the information could be caught using the iphone screen capture feature (home + power button), then emailed or synced from the phone. Is there any way to disable the screen capture feature? Can this be done programatically or is is possible through a configuration profile?
if your customer could retain the ownership of a handset, they can restrict Screen Capture feature using iPhone Configuration Utility. Make sure you don't give these phones to any one outside of this organization, otherwise you are in violation of your Enterprise legal agreement with Apple.
Since this is for an enterprise app, perhaps you could put a transparent overlay view atop everything, that in a drawRect went opaque when it detected the layer was being asked to render for a screen shot (perhaps by looking back up the stack trace?)
You might try setting debug points in every possible view and layer drawing methods, and see if anything is triggered by a screenshot.
Screen capture can be enabled/disabled for iPads/iPhones that are managed via the iPhone OS Configuration Utility. See page 33 at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Enterprise_Deployment_Guide.pdf where it says:
** Allow screen capture: When this option is turned off, users are unable to save a
screenshot of the display.*
In other words, in enterprise deployments where the "customer" owns the iPads (or requires employee-owned devices to be configured by IT) screen capture can be suppressed at a device level.
It's also possible to detect if screen capture has happened and to record this (so perhaps a manager can pay a friendly visit).
It is not possible to suppress screen capture under program control. Apple prefers to exercise tight control and grudgingly yields a bit to enterprises. It doesn't yield much to developers. (How do you like being a sharecropper on Apple's plantations?)
Seriously, there are good reasons to control screen capture. In the education space, we'd like to use iPads as secure testing devices. In a proctored test environment, the proctor can make sure a student doesn't have a camera or notepapers to carry away test questions. Therefore the major remaining risk to test item security is the screen capture. If you couldn't suppress it, students could quickly snap every test question they encounter and email them to their buddies (or post them online or sell them to a test-prep company).
For random consumer iPads used under uncontrolled conditions, developers don't have this capability. Them's the breaks :-).
No, there isn't. The user is always able to perform this function.
Yes, you can do this in at least two ways. Internet Testing Systems (ITS) of Baltimore has an iPad testing app in the store, interestingly it is "PEARSON NNAT2 -Stanford 10 - OLSATS", a Pearson app that can be used to take any of these three tests. see https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pearson-nnat2-stanford10-olsat8/id546817211?mt=8 -- it is free and you can download it.
If you simply require your user to put the device into Guided Access mode after starting the app and before proceeding, using UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled(), you can then prevent the user from using "print screen" -- OR from switching to any other task. Examsoft is a vendor that uses this approach.
These features are generally of concern to test publishers and assessment delivery vendors; I have a blog post and screen shots the ITS approach, and code to emulate the Examsoft approach, here: http://mindstormtools.com/2013/02/23/ipads-for-assessment-test-delivery-profile/ and http://mindstormtools.com/2013/02/20/ipads-for-assessment-guided-access/
HI,
I am developing an application for an esteemed client in Australia. They have certain copyright issues when it comes to uses outside Australia accessing the content via the app.
Is it possible to have a local and an international version of the app, both available via iTunes Store? The international version will only have permissible content. If not, please advice the best option to deal with this issue.
Thanking you in anticipation
Cheers,
Amit
Yes, you can create two versions of the application with different SKUs. The best way to do this would by by using a wildcard certificate and using a different project identifier in the application's plist file.
Using the administrative panel on iTunes Connect you can then restrict the sale of the SKUs to different territories.
These options become available when you have paid the $99 for a development certificate, and and when you upload your application to iTunes.
As others have noted, it's possible to build two versions and to use the iTunes store to restrict distribution based on the nation where the buyer is located.
However there's another issue to consider. You say that the problem is "accessing the content via the app" outside of Australia. But you're on a platform which is inherently mobile, and may not be located in the same country it was when the user got your app. What happens if someone is in Australia, gets the app legitimately, and then travels to some other country? They're no longer in Australia but they have a copy of the app that assumes they are. Would your client's copyright restrictions still permit them to access content that's supposed to be Australia-only?
If not, your problem is rather different than using app-store restrictions. But it might also mean that you get to have a better solution to the problem that doesn't require multiple versions of the app.
Think about it: the iPhone knows where it is. A 3g phone can get GPS-accurate location info, and the older phones get reasonable approximations anytime they have a phone network connection. That gives you lat/long coordinates.
What then? Since your home area is pretty well defined, it might be simple-- draw a rectangle around Australia on a map, and define "in Australia" as being in that rectangle (being a whole continent comes in handy here). If you want something more precise, feed that lat/long into a reverse-geocoding API (there are many-- Flickr has one, for example) to find out what country you're in.
And voila, you can make the app behave one way in Australia and another way outside of it, and you only need one version of the app to do it.
You can restrict which apps are sold in which country/geographical region. Your Australian app you can restrict to Australia and sell another app worldwide.
