IE 11 Crashes When Popping Out Tab and Crossrider Extension is Enabled - crossrider

I recently started using Crossrider to make a basic IE extension that changes a specific website's layout to make it a bit more usable. I'm testing with the staging build and it successfully installs. However, I have encountered the following two problems:
1) In IE 11, I have multiple tabs that open simultaneously when I launch the browser (because I have multiple default home pages). When I try to pop one of the tabs out into its own window, that tab crashes for several seconds until I finally have to click the "Recover Webpage" button. It occurs for any page and repros in IE 11 on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.
2) The "Open in OneNote" links from OneNote Online no longer work. The button appears, but it does not function. Additionally, the link to install the staging extension directly from crossrider no longer appears automatically as it normally would. I have to disable the extension and reload IE in order to install the extension from the crossrider developer portal.

Can one still install hololens 1st gen emulator?

Hi I was trying to install the hololens 1st gen emulator off of the official website but the download link doesn't work, I am wondering if it just me or is the download link actually broken? I tried with the microsoft archive for the previous releases for the emulators as well but none of the 1st gen ones work
The link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/develop/install-the-tools?tabs=unity
We have reproduced this issue with some third-party browsers. The actual behavior is the browser pops up a new tab and closes immediately without any download task starts.
For now, it is recommended that you use the Edge browser, after checking it can work fine on this link. Or, the workaround for some third-party browsers is to right-click the emulator download link and select copy address link, then paste it into the address bar.

how to clear PWA cached copy on Mac chrome?

I am learning PWA following the project https://github.com/gokulkrishh/demo-progressive-web-app.
When I go to: http://localhost:3000/, it shows the same page as on https://demopwa.surge.sh/
Now even when the port is not used, I think it shows a cached copy whenever I go to this url.
How can I avoid seeing be aforementioned website after opening http://localhost:3000/ ?
If you have installed the app, enter chrome://apps/ in the address bar and right-click on the app icon and select "Remove from Chrome..."
And then make sure to clear out the browser cache

How to read the names of open windows within an app and close a specific window, but not the entire application in an OSX app

Using a Mac menubar app that is always running I want to detect when a specific app is opened, for example Pages. Then I need to be able to read the names of all the windows that are open within the Pages app and close a specific window I am looking for.

Why would my side-loaded Windows Store app go no further than the splash screen?

I have a Windows Store App that, of course, runs fine on my dev machine.
After creating the package to side load for testing, I installed it on another (desktop) machine. Using the instructions for side-loading contained on pages 25 and 26 of Brundritt's free ebook "Location Intelligence for Windows Store Apps", my app seems to install just fine, except that the app is not added to the Windows 8.1 start screen at the end, as expected.
Nevertheless, I can find the app via the Search functionality - I type the name, it shows up in the "found" list (with its logo), but when I try to run it, the splash screen simply "flashes" and then the app disappears. It icon is indeed parked on the taskbar, and every time I click it, the splash screen flashes, but that's all.
This is a Windows 8.1 app that contains a Bing Map, SQLite (and sqlite-net), as well as ExifLib.
It does show up in Task Manager's "App History" tab.
How can I rectify this problem, or at least determine what the problem might be?
UPDATE
This may (or may not be) significant: the version of the app I sideloaded was built in debug mode. Do I need to build in release mode for this to work?
Also: After building in release mode (for the first time) on the dev machine, it no longer finds the SQLite data that had formerly existed. Does changing from debug to release change the path to the database or something?
Does this help? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2012/09/28/10354327.aspx It appears that the app needs to be built in release mode to work properly.

Workflow for debugging PhoneGap using Safari's Web Inspector

I'm developing a phone gap app and using Safari's Web Inspector to debug it. The tool is very useful but there are a couple workflow inefficiencies that are costing me some time.
Every time I stop my PhoneGap app in xCode the Safari Web Inspector window automatically closes leaving me with the task of re-opening it every time I make a change and re-launch the app.
The only way I'm able to get a full read out in the console is by entering window.location.reload(). Again this adds a step to my work flow everytime I deploy a change in xCode.
Does anyone know how to set it up so that Safari Web Inspector stays open and the console automatically monitors the app?
To solve the reload issue, I add this in my head section when I'm debugging:
<script>
alert('connect your debugger, if you want')
</script>
The alert stops all execution, meaning that I can (manually, ugh) connect my debugger and not miss anything. Execution resumes when I hit okay on the alert window.
I'm having the same issues. I haven't solved them yet, and I'm running out of time, so I'll show you what I've got so far:
Create an ActionScript that opens the web inspector:
https://gist.github.com/amuino/5649177 This works!
Have Xcode launch it! I tried creating a shell script that, in turn, opens the action script, but to no avail. This is what I've got:
How to run a script after Xcode runs codesign on my iPhone app?
Actually I found a way around this issue. It's not super elegant but it works.
At the entry point of my app I added some delay with setTimeout, like this:
setTimeout(function () {
app.init();
}, 10000);
This will give you enough time (10 seconds) to reopen Safari Web Inspector and you will get full console read out.
It saved me a lot of headache.
