Microsoft Office 365 Developing in iOS - c#

I want to use Office 365 in my project, but when I try to add, I get this error
I have a Xamarin.iOS project but can't add it..
This topic says that I can use Xamarin.iOS also
The following projet templates support adding Office 365 APIs as a
connected service: .NET Windows Store 8.1 Apps .NET Windows Store 8.1
Universal Apps .NET Windows Phone 8.1 Apps .NET Windows Phone 8.1
Silverlight Apps Windows Forms Applications WPF Applications ASP.NET
MVC Web Applications ASP.NET Web Forms Applications Xamarin Android
and iOS Applications Multi-device Hybrid (Cordova) Apps
I downloaded and installed OfficeToolsForVS2013Update1.exe and my visual studio version is Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.
So what can be problem?
PS: I created also a new ios blank project but still the same error.

As of right now, you can add Office 365 as a connected service to iOS "Classic API" project types. Having read the documentation you reference, I agree that it's not specific enough. I have filed a bug against it and hopefully it will be updated soon. Sorry for the confusion!

Adding LiveSDK via NuGet VS 2017

Whenever I try to add the Microsoft.LiveSDK to a UWP the assembly is not recognized and right clicking in the Solution Explorer shows no properties.
When adding a a "using Microsoft." has no Live assembly.
I am trying to use the LiveAuthClient.
My app targets NET 4.0
Everything works fine when developing using Visual Studio 2015.
Live SDK seems to be deprecated now. It has been replaced by the Microsoft Graph and Microsoft Grpah SDKs.
LiveSDK-for-Windows is still available for Windows 8.1/ Windows Phone 8.1, but may not for UWP app. It hasn’t yet been updated for UWP.
So if you are developing a UWP app, please use Microsoft Graph instead.

Developing Window Store Apps in Visual Studio 2013 on Window 7 64-bit without emulator

This is going to be quite a long question but please bear with me till the end. Before going into the details, below are my PC environments:
Windows 7 Professional x64
Visual Studio Community 2013 Update 4
On top of that, I checked my PC's processor does support virtualization using Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
I also installed all the required SKD 8.1 components required to develop Windows phone 8.1 apps as shown in the picture below.
Now I clearly understands from the visual studio website requirements:-
Windows Phone 8.0 development requires Windows 8.1 (x64) or higher
Windows Phone 8.1 development requires Windows 8.1 (x86) or higher
For the Windows Phone emulators, Windows 8.1 (x64) Professional
edition or higher, and a processor that supports Client Hyper-V and
Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
But from this SO Q&A it seems like developing windows 8.1 phone apps is still possible. However when I try to open an existing windows phone 8.1 project I got the error as shown in the picture below:
On top of that, in my Add New Project window there are no Windows Store Apps templates showing up.
I later found out from this msdn documentation that the RequiredPlatformVersion Element of the Visual Studio project template is filtering out the templates. However I tried to change the Blank Windows Phone project template element's value to 8 as specified in the documentation and also a few others value smaller than 6.3.0 but still fail to show the template.
Then I tried to install an extension called Windows Phone Template Pack which then adds two window phone project templates in my Add New Project window as shown below.
I created an empty project using that template and surprisingly I am able to open the windows phone 8.1 project as shown in the picture below.
That got me thinking that it should be possible to develop windows phone 8.1 apps but not emulating it but I am out of ideas on how to work around it now. I even tried looking at the denv.exe.config file to try my luck but there's nothing of interest there either.
Is there anyone that successfully build a Windows Phone 8.1 apps in an similar PC environment? A workaround will be sufficient.
Sorry to say this but Windows 8.1 is a requirement for developing as usually emulators on being initialized tries to load the OS into the device like the basic theme etc options.
1) You can try to connect your Windows phone to your PC and select Deploy to Device. (Though it might work and you will be able to debug yet still you would face a problem when you try to create a release build package to be uploaded on windows store. Also even though the fixes might work for short period but with Windows 10 about to be released you would be stuck with waiting for a fix to develop apps for that.)
2) You can try installing windows 8.1 inside VMWARE and deploy it.

Use FileOpenPicker for windows phone 8

I believe, FileOpenPicker was added in Windows Phone SDK 8.1 which supports browsing through the music library, video library etc to let the user select a file. This functionality(API) was not available on windows phone 8 sdk. Problem is that windows phone sdk 8.1 can only be installed over visual studio 2013. I have installed VS2013 and SDK 8.1, When I build an app and try to deploy it on my windows phone running at 8.0 and not 8.1, it throws me an error saying it cannot be installed on this version of windows phone OS.
I wonder, whatsapp did not had any option to browse videos up till sdk 8.0 was released. with the release of sdk 8.1, it lets user to browse videos from the video library. I hope they are also making use of the API mentioned above. But this updated version of whatsapp which supports video library browsing, works on my Windows Phone with OS 8.0?
How were they able to use the API from 8.1 SDK and target the app for windows phone 8.0?
Is there any way I can created an app using SDK 8.1 and target the app to run on windows phone 8.0?
WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps on the Windows Phone platform. As a result, they are occasionally granted access to APIs and capabilities that are not yet available in the public SDK.

Issues with retargeting app for windows 8.1

I am trying to retarget my app for windows 8.1 and I am experiencing some issues.
I am getting an error that personally I do not recognize nor I found any information online
Syntax Error found in XBF generation AdSettingsFlyout.xaml
I do not have an AdSettingsFlyout.xaml file in my project and I suppose is one of the files that get built with the project due to Windows Ad SDK. I did not find a windows 8.1 SDK. How can I fix the issue? I need some of the 8.1 functionality in my app
Microsoft reported an error with the Ad SDK flyout here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/advertising-windows-sdk-api-reference-adsettingsflyout-known-issues(v=msads.10).aspx
Windows 8.1 Advertising SDK is included in the VS2013 package or you can get it as described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/advertising-windows-prereqs(v=msads.10).aspx
Try removing any references to the Advertising SDK from your projects before upgrading.

What's the best way to create an ios app on windows 7?

I downloaded Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio, but I still don't see any options in either of those programs for programming iOS apps. Is programming for iOS even possible on a PC?
Using Xamarin with a business license, you can use Visual Studio on a PC for development, but you MUST have a Mac running as a build server. The iOS native SDK and Apple iOS simulator tools are only available on a Mac, and Xamarin depends on them as part of the build process.
You cannot create a native iOS app using a windows based machine. iOS apps can be developed using XCode only and XCode can be installed on mac only.
So in simple words there is no "direct" way of creating an iOS app from windows machine. I guess you should have searched on google first before asking this question.
