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.

I'm developing a windows phone 8.1 app for a client. I need to show a demo to the client but without uploading to the Store. One way to show the demo is by recording a video using screen recorders. Is there any other way that can be used to do the same.
PS The client is not in my city. And he doesn't have a windows phone.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You.
I think you can send him the xap file,which can be run on a Windows Phone or a Windows Phone Emulator. So to run it on the emulator or the phone you need the Application Deployment Tool. You can download the tool from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13890

You should try use WinJs 3.0 connect with socket.io it really work.

There are sockets for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.networking.sockets.aspx . If you are targeting WP8 (not 8.1) you will need to use the Silverlight Windows Phone 8 sockets - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh202874(v=vs.105).aspx

No.

SMS Access API:
Cliff Simpkins (Sr Product Manager, Windows Phone Developer) responded:
There isn’t a new API in the WP8 Dev Platform
No.
At least it's not mentioned in new features available in Windows Phone 8.0 SDK.
