Are these the symbols files? - hockeyapp

I am developing windows store apps. I know that I should upload symbol files to hockey dashboard for better diagnosing of bugs for my app. The symbol files are in my Microsoft's developer dashboard's app's current package section.
My doubt is, Visual studio creates files named "MyApp_1.1.3.0_x86.appxsym" and "MyApp_1.1.3.0_x64.appxsym" files in the AppPackages folder while creating app packages. I want to know are these the symbol files, that I can upload to my hockey dashboard?

Yes. These are the symbol files.
You should upload all these symbols so that you could get your crashes desymboled correctly on these different platforms, zip the three symbols in folder and upload it to the corresponding version, for the details of the process please refer this kb: https://support.hockeyapp.net/kb/client-integration-windows-and-windows-phone/how-to-upload-symbols-for-uwp-application. (Ref:Hockeyapp support)
The *.appxsym files contain the public symbols from your app. They are created from the *.pdb files.

Allow VS Code to read download files for Flutter Application

I messed up by denying vs code to read my "download files", however, I believe this is an issue found on mac's permission settings (in which I don't know where to find it). I say this because when I downloaded a firebase file (GoogleService-Info (2).plist) I am able to run it in Xcode but not in Vs Code. How can I allow Vs code to read all download files?
Apple icon - system preferences - privacy
Select Files and Folders.
Select the checkbox below an app to allow it to access files and folders in that location.

How to include custom library files in Unity build

When I run my Unity app in the editor, it is able to read my .dlls and other custom files the .dlls need and it works fine. However, when I make a build, it only includes the .dll files in the Plugins folder of the build and not the other custom files. Is there a way to force Unity to include the other files as well? I have tried putting them both in the Plugins and Resources folder before building and in both cases it only keeps the .dlls.
The custom files are .obf, but I don't think that's relevant
It is extremely relevant. Unity does not support all type of libraries.
Here are the supported library extensions:
For Windows, you can use .dll.
For Linux, .so is supported.
For Android, you can only use .aar, rar and .so.
For iOS, .a is used but you can also use the non compiled code such as ,.m,.mm,.c and .cpp.
There is no support for .obf. If you want to add it to your project so that you can load and execute it then you are out of luck.
If you just want to make Unity include it to your final project build so that you can read it then you can. This doesn't mean you can load and execute it.
First, rename the extension from ".obf" to ".bytes". Place it in the Resources folder and read it as TextAsset with the Resources.Load function. You can the access the data with TextAsset.bytes.
TextAsset dataAsset = (TextAsset)Resources.Load("YourObfName", typeof(TextAsset));
byte[] data = dataAsset.bytes;
Not sure how helpful just reading it is but this is here to show you how to include it to the build and read it but you can't execute it unless there is a C# API to do so and I don't think that any API of such kind exist.

Change .vscode folder location

I'm programming a client side applications using SharePoint Designer 2013.
I want to change to VSCODE since it supports a lot of extensions for some Javascript library like angular, jQuery. And because of the Chrome/Node.js debugger extension.
But when I try to start any Debugger, I got the error:
Unable to create 'launch.json' file inside the '.vscode' folder (Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, mkdir '\\servername\DavWWWRoot\sitename\Style Library\.vscode').
I get this error because it's impossible to create a folder in SharePoint where the name starts with dot.
So there's a possibility to change the name of this folder or the file location to any directory in my local computer?
No, it's not possible to move/rename that folder. VS code is a tool that bases project management on folder content. So it is essential that the project settings reside in the folder being managed.
You can move the "extensions" folder, but unfortunately not the argv.json (so the ".vscode" will, at least be recreated on vscode launch)

I hope that'll finally change sometime .

Deploy files in the localState folder during installation of a store app

I am building an app for windows store and I need some default and example data to be in the localstate folder (Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.localFolder) when the app run the first time.
The folder and files structure is a bit complex and I tryed to copy the files at the start of the application, but I can't manage that way.
Is it possible to have files being copied automatically from the installation folder to the localstate folder during the store app installation?
Unfortunately, customization of the app install process isn't currently supported. You have to do this as part of your first run processing.
One possibility is that you include the data in your package as a .ZIP or other compressed file and use an appropriate library to expand that file into a folder structure on startup. That could simplify your logic considerably. (I don't have a library to recommend; it's just an idea.)

Can I extract my apk file to retrieve lost files?

I've been working on a mobile game in Unity for over a month, saving all my work to OneDrive. Today I restarted my computer and when it loaded back up I tried opening my project and it failed. I looked through my OneDrive and half my files are missing! I've been on the phone with Microsoft support all day and I can't get those files back.
I have the apk file for the game loaded onto my phone. Is there anyway to reverse build this thing back onto Unity or just get the files back from the apk file ?
If by APK you mean Android's APK file you can just 'unzip' it and get at least you xml files and other resources such as images. All classes will be packed to classes.dex file, which can be converted to Java's JAR by dex2jar tool. However JAR will give you only Java's binaries. You could further de-compile them to Java files, but they are not going to look pretty or very readable.
Well, at least you can recover you XML layouts.
Are the files in your recycle bin on the OneDrive website or locally? Often times when OneDrive files go missing they can be found there.
