  1. Why am I seeing apps in the Store as 'owned by me' that I have never purchased?


    The list of apps in my Microsoft Store that I 'own' contains loads of stuff I have not purchased it is not in my purchase history.

    • My Purchase History doesnt include any of them
    • There are no unusual devices attached to my account
    • Most of the apps are XBox games and I don't own an XBox never have
    • The list keeps changing
    • I cant hide them
    • Sometimes apps I have purchased aren't visible
    • Some of the dates are bogus it says I purchased Twitter minutes ago, but I've had it for a while.

    It is as if someone else's account info is being displayed, interleaved with my own. What is going on??

    :)

  2. Apple Claims Steam Link App Violates App Store Guidelines

    Here's what Valve is contending with:
    App Store Review Guidelines - Apple Developer

    The ones that stand out that may have caught Steam Link:
    So yeah, there's a lot of reasons why Steam Link would get rejected.

    App submissions and approvals is a thing between developer and Apple. Valve intentionally let this information leak probably because Apple's restrictive guidlines will never allow Steam Link to be on the store. Valve is hoping the Steam user base makes a lot of noise so Apple grants Valve and exemption. I doubt it will work. Apple loves control and Steam Link is a portal into the Linux/Windows ecosystem. Even if Steam Link were exclusive to Mac OS, Apple would likely demand Valve use Mac OS's remote desktop features rather than Steam Link.

    I'd be shocked if Apple allows it.

  3. Unable to purchase app in store

    Hello Nraina thank you for posting.

    Here are some suggestions you can try in order to solve this issue.

    • I would suggest you log with your Microsoft Account on
      https://account.live.com make sure your birth date, time&date and the time zone are correct.

    • If you are having this issue on your Windows Phone, please check the time and date on the phone as well (<<settings <<time&date) and set them on manual.

    • Please also log with the same Microsoft account to
      http://www.xbox.com
      and make sure you have created you Gamertag.

    • As a last step, please just do a soft reset of the phone (if the issues are on you r Windows Phone)
    Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons for 20 seconds, until the phone vibrates. Once it vibrates, release the buttons and the phone should restart.

    Here is another forum posting that might be helpful.
