Windows 10: Extending Phone Link - are there developer resources?

Hello,I am looking for developer resources around Phone Link. Could you comment on what is available? Thanks,

:)

 

Can't "Link to Wndows"

Thanks so much. I will certainly follow your tutorial in the future. I think resetting did the trick, and I was also able to set a pin code. Question. I am confused about one ongoing step: "Go to www.aka.ms/addComputer" in your browser." A search for this, and other similar url's suggested in the Phone LInk setup always ends up the same way, with a trip to nowhere.

Clicking in those types of links end up in a blank tab

 

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

 

Getting apps developers to develop for Windows Phone

Hi CaraLegal,

Just to add to what Jack has already stated, Microsoft has been actively engaging Developers for the last two years, which is why the Windows Phone Marketplace has grown so quickly. Additionally, Microsoft has provided tons of free developer tools, free
classes, free workshops, free boot camps, etc.

These and many more developer resources are available via the
Windows Phone Dev Center, which has changed and grown these last two years thanks to suggestions from consumers and develoeprs alike.

I also echo Jack's feelings that with the creation of the new Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 ecosystem, we will see even more developers creating apps for this new ecosystem. Also newsworthy is that fact that Native Code is allowed in Windows 8 and Windows
Phone 8. What this means is that developers will have no excuse for NOT porting their apps to Windows and Windows Phone, because it is so very easy to do! If they're not porting, they're not even trying!

In addition to the
Windows Phone Suggestion Box app that Jack suggested (and requires a Windows Phone to use), I wanted to let you know that there is also a web equivalent that can be accessed on your desktop computer,

Windows Phone Features Suggestion Box.

Finally, I also encourage you to contact the developers of your favorite iPhone apps and start requesting a timeline for their Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 apps.

I hope this helps!
