Your UWP Push Notifications are now Toast
I recently pushed an update to the UWP I’ve published to the store at work. After installing the app on my 10581 Windows 10 device and using it all weekend, I was dismayed to see when I received a push notification the app didn’t do what it was supposed to do. I dove in.
My first exception caused solely by .Net Native
In a current project we’re developing a UWP application which, as you may or may not know, *requires* you to compile to .Net Native in order to submit to the store. No biggie, that hasn’t been a problem. Until now.
Can’t deploy to Windows 10 Mobile 10581? Read this
I’ve been doing Windows 10 UWP development since July. During that time I’ve upgraded from the latest slow-ring builds of Windows 10 all the way up to 10565 on my work desktop.

Static Grid, Dynamic Content
On a recent project, we wanted to lay out some dynamic content in a very specific way, and have that repeat a la the USA Today app for Windows 10. The main challenge facing us when doing this is that Grid isn’t an ‘ItemsControl’ and therefore can’t be bound to a collection of data. So… Read More »
Build Windows 10 UWP in the cloud
I’m working on a new Windows 10 UWP at the present and went to set up my CI builds in, of course, Visual Studio Online. But it wasn’t as straightforward as I’d hoped.
On Windows Store "crap apps"
Yes, Dear Reader, this actually happened. Now, I as much as the next dev will not beat around the bush when it comes to acknowledging there’s a problem with “crap apps” on the Windows (Phone) Store. But is there a platform that doesn’t have this problem? I doubt it. Shall we have a look? Yes.… Read More »
