Windows 10 Mobile (UWP) NFC credit card reader - paypal

My name is Konstantin.
I have the following problem. I'm currently working on one very serious application for bank. This is Universal Windows Platform application but I'm targeting the Windows 10 Mobile. I wanna create an application, which will allow to read information from credit card (basic info that is available in every credit card: holder name, card number, expire date). Can I handle this without using HCE (Host Card Emulation) that is available with Windows 10 mobile preview. If it is, how can I do this?
And one more question, if I have to use HCE, can I use my Nokia Lumia 930 like a device for debugging. I read somewhere, that NL930 does not support HCE, but then why NL730/830 does?
P.S: Sorry for mistakes. English is not my native language :)

I think you are referring to NFC enterprise provisioner.
-Implement an NFC HCE (Host Card Emulation) tap+pay application
-Communicate with a smart card or NFC tag
you can refer to this blog: NFC Team Blog.
var taskBuilder = new BackgroundTaskBuilder();
taskBuilder.Name = bgTaskName;
taskBuilder.TaskEntryPoint = taskEntryPoint;
taskBuilder.SetTrigger(new SmartCardTrigger(SmartCardTriggerType.EmulatorHostApplicationActivated));
bgTask = taskBuilder.Register();

iOS Bluetooth printer?

Does anybody suggest a mobile printer able to print receipt with a good SDK to interface wireless an iOS application adhoc developed ? The printer should be small and should use rechargeable batteries for field use.
I cannot use wifi because not always a trusted access point (customer premises) is available, so I think to use Bluetooth, but of course any suggestion is welcome !
FYI I already checked Zebra printers SDK for iOS but it seems able to print only using a TCP/IP address, it means (for as I know) I should use wifi. In my case the application should be used in the field from an iPad connected with cellular network. In iPad there is no hot-spot and not always there is an available wifi access point tho connect the iPad and the printer the the same network to use TCP/IP addresses. That is the reason I'm guessing the last chance should be bluetooth.
Unfortunately iOS5 does not support Bluetooth printing.

Have you considered VPN via WEP to a network printer?
Alternatively some printers can be set up with their own email address. PDF attachments can be sent via this address to be printed. These emails can be sent encrypted.
I know that this isn't the IDEAL answer, but it is likely to work for the time being until iOS is properly updated.
Yes, I have Bluetooth printer for IOS device, it is Apple MFI approved
see details from this URL http://www.bluebamboo.com/other_file/P25i%20Datasheet%20%28EN%29%20v1.0%2009-Oct-2011.pdf
I know you already accepted an answer, but here's another one: have the technician bring their own wireless base station (AirPort Express perhaps) and create his own wireless network (that won't have internet access, but that's not needed) with appropriate security. Then you can use any HP wireless capable printer and have the iOS device and the printer connect to the wifi network created by the wireless access point (which should be set with DHCP to vend IP addresses in a non-routable range like 192.168.x.x, obviously).
We also have a Bluetooth printer that is MFI certified along with an easy to understand iOS SDK. Please take a look at the EZPay App on the Appstore. The app's currently in Japanese (fir one of our clients) but the description explain a little about the printer. I'm currently traveling at the moment, but if you shoot me an email from the contact info on the App Store. I can get a few other things out to you. Cheers... B
No need to develop a full blown SDK, check out Mobi Print. it has the Zebra sdk already implemented and connects to any webservice or ODBC database. It also has stored label/receipt formats in there app so just upload your format and should be good to go.
here is link for Mobi Print

NFC accessory for iPhone (e.g. iCarte 420)

Is anybody aware of the market available NFC reader hardware accessory for the iPhone? This should have Objective-C API (i.e. use of the "External Accessory framework") and should use the dock connector, not Bluetooth.
I am aware of the iCarte 420, but I am not sure if they are delivering small quantities for developers.
Any comments and experience with programming of NFC external HW on iPhone is welcomed.
Regards,
STeN
I have written apps using the iCarte 420.
You do have to include the external accessory framework, as well as the api provided by WDI (the iCarte manufacturer). It is accessed via the dock, and not through blutooth.
The provided API is extensive, but lacks NDEF, so you must communicate with your tag of choice at the 'block' or sector level with say mifare, or tranceive command for something like Desfire.
Your best bet is to contact the folks at iCarte (WDI) and purchase a development kit. They've been helpful gettingme started.
Be aware that before you can submit your app to the app store, WDI will have to 'whitelist' each app before apple will accept.

Connect Credit card reader

I want to develop application like this :
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paypodd/id341546114?mt=8
I am going to develop one application for credit card reader but i have no idea for connect external device to iPhone. right now i am using ExternalAccessory Class for find connected device but i am not getting any event after connect any Accessory to my iPhone
if anyone has developed this kind of application please provide me the flow
i am really confused..
Thanks .!
Do you plan on producing your own credit card reader for the iPhone/iPod? If so, you will probably need to go through Apple's "Made For iPod" (MFi) program. See: http://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/
If not, your options for connecting the reader to the iOS device are limited. You cannot connect generic USB or Bluetooth devices -- one of the few devices I'm aware of which gets around this is the Square reader, which is a custom hardware device which communicates over the audio jack. Setting this up likely involved a lot of custom audio engineering on Square's part; it is not an easy task, nor is it something that can be done with off-the-shelf parts.
If you have other plans for what type of reader to use, please add details to your question!

Live TV in Google TV emulation

According to the developer site documentation, Google TV emulation supports live tv. Local provider list will be obtained by giving zip code of the area.
Does this work with an Indian Zip code? If yes, will the ChannelListing information of the provider be accessible free of cost or does it impose any subscription charges?
How does this actually work?
It only works for US zip codes at present. There is no charge.
I found that at least the GoogleTV I got also has only US zip-codes for location and no ability to select non-US locations not other languages but english.

Application that receives DVB-H broadcast signal

DVB-H is a fairly new broadcasting medium. One purpose it is used for is to broadcast TV channels to TV phones and mobile decoders.
The software supplied by the service provider for windows does the job, but the display is small. I want to explore the possibilities of creating my own software that receives the signal and displays it to the screen. Also perhaps create an application to do the same on Blackberry and Android phones.
Anyone with any leads as to where I can get more info on coding with for DVB-H Broadcasts?
If you are working with Linux, you can probably best use Linux API (see this) under the LinuxTV project.
Alternatively, in J2ME based platforms you can follow JSR272 to access the DVB-H receiver. See this and this for more reference.
Unfortunately DVB-H based devices are specialized, so you need to specify which devices you want to support.
