In Silverlight it was once possible to register an app for the edit-dialog in the photo hub (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh202966(v=vs.105).aspx).
Is there an UWP-equivalent now? Or is there any other way, my app can be started from within the photos hub?
This functionality is not currently available in the Universal Platform. You can use the Windows Feedback tool ("Developer" section) or UserVoice to request that it be made available.

I am working on a C# UWP application in which I need to integrate Skype For Business. I need to provide the following functionality: automatic log in, view users' statuses, send and receive chat messages, video call and share screen.
What is the best way to achieve this?
There is no official Lync SDK out for WinRT or UWP apps, please see the suggestion in here
I'm trying to add functionality to allow sharing a screen shot of the app screen, using the Facebook sharer facility. But I can't find any relevant sources to set this up on Windows Universal.
Does anyone know the steps involved in setting up the Facebook Api in a Windows Universal application?
Or can you point me in the direction of a worthwhile link on the subject.
After logging into the FB developer dashboard, and clicking "getting started" , a screen showing the available platforms shows, not including Windows.
I assumed that the correct option to pick would be "Website" , but as the setup process doesn't seem relevant to Windows Universal development, as setup asks for a website URL:
At this moment, Facebook doesn't have an official SDK for Windows but you can use any of the open source alternatives.
I suggest you use the 'C SDK' library (http://facebooksdk.net/). I have never used it myself but it seems quite mature and popular.
I am developing a Xamarin PCL app using Xamarin.Forms and have a requirement to log in to it through Azure Active Directory. I have tried to achieve this by using Xamarin.Auth, however it seems that Azure AD doesn't support implicit grant flow as pointed out in the following link:
getting #error=unsupported_response_type&error_description=AADSTS70005: with token request
I am receiving the same error as described in that link. Does anyone have any idea how to go about this? I basically just want to be able to load the following page : https://login.microsoftonline.com/, log in using my azure active directory and on receiving a valid token, load the first page of my app. This is a requirement for all 3 platforms (Android, iOS and WP8), although right now I am just trying to get it to work on Android.
Many Thanks
in Azure AD we don't uswe the implicit flow for native clients - we use a public client version of the authorization code grant. If you want to work with AAD and Xamarin in a PCL we have a preview of the next version of our libraries, you can find more details in http://www.cloudidentity.com/blog/2014/10/30/adal-net-v3-preview-pcl-xamarin-support/. Note that such library is a very early preview that WILL change and that cannot be used in production at this point. An alternative is using Xamarin bindings to our iOS and Android native libraries, but those aren't suitable for a PCL.
I am creating new Metro application in c# and I would like to sign in users using MS Live connect. There are lot of examples on the internet how to do this, but the Live SDK has been changed (live:SignInButton is not available), Live connect developer center was changed (I am not able to find Package Display Name, Publisher text boxes,...).
What is current best way howto use Live SDK in the C# Metro application or is it possible to use WebAuthenticationBroker?
Take a look at the DotNetOpenAuth library which allows you to easily integrate your live id and other openid providers for authentication. FYI This library is available as a nuget package too.

I'm writing a C# .NET Compact Framework application and would like to embed ads into it (e.g. small banner on top of every screen). However, I couldn't find any advertising SDKs. Aren't there really any?
If implementing it from scratch, how would you do it? Google's Ad Sense for example only works with mobile websites (that can be reached by Google's bot).
Most mobile ad networks are focused on iPhone apps, but the only one I could see that supports Windows Mobile is SOMA by a company called Smaato.
Amobee has a advertisement SDK that can return a banner of predefined size to an application.
They offer a JAVA Api, but getting an ad from their service is as easy as accessing a URL with some query-string and downloading a image.
