I am testing my Windows 8 app by logging in as the guest account. I want to see how it works installing with limited permissions.
It seems I cannot debug any apps. Here are the steps:
Login as the Windows 8 Guest Account
Open Visual Studio.
Create a new Windows Store app, using the grid template
Click the play button to deploy to the simulator or the local machine.
Upon deployment, I receive this error:
Unable to debug Windows Store app App1/App1/bin/Debug/App1.exe
The debugger was unable to find the registration for the target application. If the problem persists, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the application.
Am I unable to deploy apps without being an administrator? If not, is there a way around this problem?
It doesn't make sense to try to debug installing an app as a guest. Guest accounts are not allowed to install apps. There is a short forum post regarding accounts here.
If you are wanting to see how the app performs for a guest after it has already been installed, you can run the app from the desktop tile, but I don't know how to run the debugger on it, or even if you can.

I developed an UWP-app and packaged it as appx-file. The app works fine and can be installed in Win10.
Now I want to deploy this app via Intune to the system context. Unfortunately, the app can only be installed in user context. I already tried to package the app as msi-file (via WIX Toolset). But this leads to the same problem.
Does anyone know, how I can adjust my UWP-app to be able to install the app in the system context instead of the user context?
I really appreciate your response!

I've managed to get the emulator in the WTK to run stand-alone, as a QwertyDevice, and to install apps (with the built-in Install Applications app) from the Apache server on my laptop. However, it's refusing to actually run the apps because it can't find a Certificate (or the Certificate is corrupted).
How do I turn that off? My actual phone, which I'm developing my apps for, warns me but lets me install and use unsigned apps. And I think I can trust my own apps since I'm writing them.
I found mention of a security Xdomain setting in the WTK user guide, and tried the default, trusted, untrusted, and minimum. No effect except a message in the Command Prompt window saying that it's running in the selected domain. It still refuses to run my apps. (Selecting -Xdomain:help in an attempt to get a list of valid domains resulted in "Running in the help domain"!)
How do I get the emulator to OBEY ME and run the apps?
I´m trying to install a program in the windows mobile 6 emulator, running it as standalone image (PPC_USA.BIN). The program installs sucessfully, but when i try to run it, the error msg is:
The file '' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file.
Any suggestions?
The application probably requires that security be lowered. So to be able to run it, the device needs to have security lowered at least to the level at which the user is asked for permission when he/she is running an unsigned executable. In the context of Windows Mobile security, it means that the device's security configuration needs to be set to Two-Tier-Prompt, One-Tier-Prompt or Security-Off (see MSDN for more details).
Changing of the security configuration might require device manufacturer's or operator's assistance.
In some cases it can be done by the user. Some of them are listed below:
If the user has a registry editor application which can run on
the device and can change the device registry (such application
needs to be signed by a certificate which is trusted by the device
though, or the same issue will repeat itself.)
The device has installed Microsoft Windows Mobile development
certificates.
The device allows the user to install the Microsoft Windows
Mobile development certificates.
Of the above, 2 and 3 are more than likely be the case; if so then try the following:
Install Windows Mobile SDK (Here)
Install <WM SDK>/Tools/Security/SDK Development
Certificates/Certs.cab on the device.
Go to <WM SDK>/Tools/PocketPC/Security/Security Configuration and
use one of the cpf file to change the device's security
configuration (see the Readme File located at <WM
SDK>/Tools/PocketPC/Security/Security Configuration/ReadMe.txt)
Hope this helps someone, even-though I'm a year or so late...
While working with my app that require network access...
The Android 2.2 emulator's network connection stop working...
The net was working properly but after some time it did not respond on emulator,
while it was working f9 on my system...
I have cross checked the net connections and restarted with the emulator(even created a new avd ). But the problem remains same my net is not working on emulator..
I have also checked the connection with F8 key on emulator...
My app manifest net permission is enabled....
Finally After all I have myself found the solution of to the problem:
It's very common problem that must have been faced by most of android developers....
Recently, while developing an Android Application, I was faced with a situation that wasted 2 hours of my time. The issue was simple, my app was not able to access internet from the Android Emulator.
Initially I thought fixing the issue should have been straight forward, but life is not always that simple.
So what was the real issue because of which my app was not able to access internet? There are multiple reasons because of which this issue could occur. Hence, I decided to document my findings so that other could benefit from it.
There are two main symptoms of no internet connection on android emulator.....
**Only your app is not able to access the internet
**None of the apps are able to access the internet
Lets look at what are the reasons behind each of them.
Only your app is not able to access the internet
If only your app is not able to access the internet on the emulator, check if any other apps are able to access the internet or not. For e.g. you could open up the browser application, visit http://news.google.com/. If the page opens up correctly then problem lies in your app itself and its simple to fix.
Basically, your app needs the Permission to access the internet. This can be done by adding the following line just before the end of tag in AndroidManifest.xml file of your application.
Compile and re-install the app in the emulator and try to access the internet from your app. It should work!
What is the use of uses-permission tag:
Android application can request certain permissions so that they can function properly. Some examples of permissions are, get users location, make a call, access the internet etc. App has to explicitly specify this in the AndroidManifest.xml.
When end users install such an app on their device, the android OS will notify the user that, app is requesting certain permissions. If users are fine with that, then only the app will be installed. Else users can deny the permission and the app will not be installed.
This mechanism is Androids way of implementing security and users privacy!
This is the more tricky situation:
None of the apps are able to access the internet
Now this situation is tricky. There are two reasons because of which this could happen
Proxy server is not configured on the emulator
Incorrect DNS used by the emulator
Setting Up the DNS Server:
emulator.exe -avd 'android1.6' -dns-server 8.8.8.8
The android1.6 is your avd name I created an avd with name android1.6
So just replace android1.6 with your avd name.
Run this code in command prompt after setting the path to tools & platform tools of your android sdk
I have installed the Titanium Developer 1.2.2 form my login account (on Mac system) and have done one demo project. I was able to see that working in the iPhone simulator. Now if I switch user and login to another account to run Titanium Developer there, it downloads and runs there but I am unable to launch any project there. The SDK Version simply shows as 'loading...'.
As a work around I opened a terminal window and typed sudo abhilash (assuming my login name is 'abhilash') and entered password and launched the Titanium from command line. It opened my instance of titanium and detected the SDK version properly as 4.2 and when I click launch in simulator, it throws the following error
Now how do I make it working for the second user account? I have triend re-installing the xcode and titanium from the second user's account but no success :(
Kindly help!!
It doesn't answer your question specifically but this post was helpful for me in enabling Titanium to be used across different user accounts. I suspect you may have already tried this since I couldn't even get Titanium to open in another user account
http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/21121/titanium-crashing-on-startup-on-mac
the other thing to try is to create a new project in the new users account and then copy the contents of the "Resources" directory into the newly created project. I found this also fixed an issue of opening an old project.
