I wanna develop an application that would access messages, photos and other data from Windows phone through PC, an application much like Nokia PC suite. Can anybody suggest me the articles and APIs on this kind of development. My development platform would be C#.Net and OS would be Windows 10. The devices I would communicate through my PC would be Windows phone 8.1 and after launch of Windows 10 mobile I have plans to transform my app for that one.

When developing an application that communicates with a Bluetooth Low Energy device on Windows, does one have to write separate code for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10?
I need to connect to a custom device that only has a Bluetooth Low Energy chip in it, the reason I think it would need a separate version is because the API might be different for Windows 10? That is the question, is it the same API?
I have developed a Window 10 app using Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. i just want to distribute it from my own server. i don't want to put it on window store. is it possible? if yes, how can i?
I have windows IOT core devices that will run at different locations, so I need to update my application on all these devices automatically.
For the scenario of IoT core devices, a common easy way is to use the MDM system, aka. Windows 10 Mobile and mobile device management:
The MDM client allows the MDM system to configure policy settings; deploy apps and updates; and perform other management tasks, such as remotely wiping the device.
But this is often be used for company apps, using this means you need to become a partner of Microsoft, so this method is not suitable for personal development.
Another method is that you need to for example check the version of your app in your server and manually Install Universal Windows Apps with the WinAppDeployCmd tool, using this tool can deploy a Universal Windows app from a Windows 10 machine to any Windows 10 Mobile device. But your server should establish connections to target devices before.
You can also refer to the blog: Just released: Windows 10 Application Deployment tool to get started.
I am new in Windows phone development application. I built an app package and use Application Deployment Tool deployed it to devices for testing. But a microsoft account only allows to deploy 3 devices in maximum. I tried The Chinese tool aiyingyong_pc to jaibreak the Windows phone but it not work. Are there any ways to deploy to many devices or any tools can jailbreak the Windows phone?
As far as I know, except for Samsung devices, there is no jailbreak available for Windows Phone 8 (only for Windows Phone 7).
According to Microsoft, you can increase the device limit if you open a support ticket: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/matthiasshapiro/archive/2012/12/14/how-to-register-more-than-3-windows-phones-for-development.aspx
Honestly, I've never tried and the article is more than two years old, so I don't know if it's still true.
Otherwise, the only workaround left is publishing the app as a beta. Though not as convenient, you'll be able to install it on as many devices as you wish.
I have a application that has a mobile client and a Windows 8 client. I want to implement push notification service between two app.
I found that windows 8 use WNS (windows Notification Service) and windows Phone 8 use MPNS (Microsoft Push Notification Service) for push notification service and they are two different server.
Is there any way to use WNS from windows Phone 8?
Or any way to achieve this?
any advice or any tutorial are welcome.
Thanks.
No wns is only working for win8. You can look into notification hub from azure.
You cannot send it directly as far as I know. You have to go through a server and again have a look at azure.
WNS is supported on Windows Phone as of Windows Phone 8.1. If you're building an app for both Windows 8 and Windows Phone, you should use WNS.
It is not possible to use WNS on Windows Phone 8.0, but WP8.1 is a free upgrade for your users.
currently I am working on a project in which the client GUI application is developed using WPF and C# and it calls a service on the webserver for business related functionalities. This client application is developed for desktop clients.
Now we have a requirement to make the application which was being developed for desktop, to work on a windows tablet (OS windows 8 pro).
So I want to know whether I can Use the MSI generated for desktop application can be used on Windows 8 pro tablet without any changes or not? Will the application work as its working in desktop?
If not then what all things I need to do for running the application in windows 8 pro tablet
I would be grateful if any one could answer these two questions.
All windows applications (except those compiled only for the ARM architecture - probably a rare thing), will run on a Windows 8 Pro device of any form factor.
