Encrypted notifications under accounts for sandbox mode - encryption

I am using developer mode of paypal to link my developer account while testing my site.
What I notice is that Notification for payment received/refund is encrypted which was not the case before. I want to see the details in english so that I can proceed with my development but this encryption is strucking me at a place.
Do anyone has a solutions for this?

Recently, the sandbox notification that is showing in Developer.paypal.com portal facing some issue and they're currently fixing it as we speak.
The only workaround that they have provided for us to view the content of the notification, is by clicking the search button in the notification section and then choose the sandbox account that you would like to see, next choose the date range and click the search button.
Now the list should show the same notification list but this time you will be able to see the content.
Attached are the screenshot of the section where you can search. Click Here for the image

How can we check the liveness of any image using Cognitive Face API Services?

We are developing attendance app using Xamarin Forms and FACE API of Cognitive services. What we are doing is like this.
Registering Photo : When user clicks on this button we open the mobile camera , user click his/her photograph and then we submit that image to Face API . No issue in that we have successfully implemented/registered the same using Cognitive Face API services.
Verify User : When user clicks on this button again we open the camera, user click his/her photograph and then we send this image to FACE api for verification . No issue in that we have successfully implemented the same.
Now what issue we are facing is :-
On verification button, user shows his/her old saved photograph to camera and click its photo not the real live image. Obviously that matches the same and got verified successfully. Here we always want to take his/her live photo not the fake one because its attendance application also used to field staff. Any body can fool the app.
We want to stop clicking the fake images. We want to track liveness of the photo. If something available at camera level which can tell user not to show fake photos , show real live photo.
Any help/response is highly appreciable.
Regards
Prem Sharma
You can use the headpose attribute to detect a person rather than a image while using a live stream or camera and passing the images to face API. There is a sample WPF application on github on how it can be used.

Facebook fanpage .ics link for upcoming events does not work

I own a personal Facebook account and a second Facebook account for a bands fanpage. I want to integrate the facebook events via .ics subscription to my wordpress calendar.
Therefor I logon to Facebook with my personal account (or with my bands account, it makes no difference), then I go to one specific event and click on the "..." button next to share and then I choose "export event"
and after that I have the link for all upcoming events.
When I subscribe to this URL e.g. in macOS Calendar, no events are delivered...
Does anybody know whats going wrong here?

Unable to find Subscription Key for Microsoft Cognitive Services

I need to work on Microsoft Cognitive Services (Face API). I downloaded the code from https://github.com/Microsoft/Cognitive-face-android. Now I am unable to generate the Subscription Key for it.
No matter whatever I do I get stuck in this page
From where else I can find the Subscription Key.
Thanks
The interface you are using is for testing-purposes. Consequently, it is not meant to be used for more than a month.
Here's how you can generate an API key the proper way:
Newer Edit: The Azure interface has changed since this guide was written. It hasn't changed that much, so leave me a comment if this guide is broken.
The largest change I have seen is that Bing Search API can now be located directly using the "+ New" form shown in Part A/Step 3. (aka, don't search for "cognitive services")
Edit: There is now another piece of documentation half-way down entitled "Part B: Adding a Credit Card for Pay-As-You-Go via the Azure Portal." If you have not already set up your payment method on portal.azure.com, you will get stuck at Part A/step 5.
process.
Part A:
Go to https://portal.azure.com and sign in with your credentials.
(Optional) Check to make sure you have an active Pay-As-You-Go(PAYG) subscription. Click the "More services" arrow and type subscriptions into the form that appears. Click into Subscriptions and make sure you see an entry here.**
If you're sure you have an active PAYG acct, make sure you're on the dashboard and press the green "+ New" button and start to type Cognitive Services. As you finish typing it should be your only option.
Once you've clicked the "Cognitive Services APIs" suggestion you will be brought to the following page. Click the green brain.
You'll be given a description of Cognitive services and you'll see a create button at the bottom. Press that.
The "Create" pane will pop up. Fill this out. CHECK THE PIN TO DASHBOARD BOX FIRST SO YOU DON'T FORGET (Note: If you do not have an active PAYG subscription you will see an error instead of the "Create" pane on the right-side of the image below.)
When you press the green-explosion from the picture above you will see the following icon:
This is what you want. When you've completed the form from the previous picture, press "Create" below the "pin to dashboard" box.
When you've created the subscription successfully, you'll get a little message that things are validated and your service is deploying. You should be on the dashboard now and should see a little tessellating box if you pressed pin to dashboard. Soon it will be complete and vuala!You'll see something similar to the following image. Press the "keys" button on your new service.
** If you're told that "You don't have any active subscriptions," you'll need to click the white "Add+" button and create a PAYG subscription. You will need a credit-card and non-VoIP phone for this step.
Part B:
Adding a Credit Card for Pay-As-You-Go via the Azure Portal
This portion of the process is necessary if you have never used portal.azure.com before and/or don't have an active payment-subscription on it.
For this process you will need: A valid credit-card**, a non-voip telephone for human-verification, >= $3 USD for the lowest API tier.
TO AVOID POTENTIAL HEADACHES; DO NOT USE GOOGLE CHROME FOR THESE STEPS. If you are on a Windows 10 Machine use Edge in InPrivate mode as your browser. Otherwise, firefox private-browsing is a decent alternative.
Follow steps 1 & 2 from the guide above to navigate to the Subscriptions pane. Underneath the circled "+ Add" button, you should see a message telling you there are "No subscriptions in xxxxx(Default Diretory) directory." Click the "+ Add" button.
You will be taken to the URL https://account.windowsazure.com/signup?showCatalog=True, and you should see the following screen:
As the picture above indicates. Select Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) unless you want to go off-guide. You'll be brought here & will need to fill out the 3 sections. Your card won't be charged during this process.
Once you complete the 3 steps denoted in the image above, you'll be taken to a page which asks you to wait for ~4 mins while your subscription is getting ready & you'll see that fun little animation of spinning half-circles. Eventually you'll be presented with a button which is labeled "Start Managing my Services. Which will take you back to the dashboard at portal.azure.com.
From the dashboard, Find the "Subscriptions" pane again, and this time you should see something similar to the following.
You now have a payment method with which to purchase your API subscription. From here you can resume at Step 3 of Creating an API Endpoint & Accessing Your Keys aka the first half of this guide.
** Your credit-card must have a billing address located in the country which your Microsoft username/password combo was created in.
For the subscription key, you have to create the cognitive service account in azure portal. Follow the following steps:
If you have not done so already, you will need to sign up for the Face API (preview) service.
Go to the Azure Portal at http://portal.azure.com/ and sign in with your Azure account.
Click on + New.
Select the Intelligence option.
Select the Cognitive Services APIs product. This product will allow you to start a subscription for any of the cognitive services APIs (Face, Text Analytics, Computer Vision, etc.). Today we will focus on the Face API (preview) API.
Enter a Resource name for your Face API subscription. (For instance: "MyFaceAPI"). This name should not have any spaces in it.
On API type, select .
On Pricing tier, you can select a plan. You may select the Free tier for 10,000 transactions/month. This is a free plan, so it is a good way to start trying the system. Once you go to production, we recommend you consider your request volume and change the plan type accordingly.
Select a Resource Group, or create a new one if you don't have one already.
You may change other elements in the Create dialog. We should point out that the resource provider today is only supported from United States data centers. Once you are done with any selections, click Create.
Wait a few minutes for the resource to be deployed. Once it is deployed, you can go to the Keys section in the Settings blade where you will be provided a primary and secondary key to use the API. Copy the primary key, as you'll need it when creating your first model.
Hope this help.

Paypal Sandbox doing crazy things

First of all , the test accounts I created were not working. So, I removed all Paypal cookies.So, now good thing I can login into test accounts but can't access My Settings and My Selling tools under My Profile. I'm trying to create Buy Now button in My Selling tools.
Also, My Paypal live account is for Paypal Payments Standard(My Business Setup->My payment solution) and in test account the payment solution is Paypal Payments Pro and doesn't let me change this option.The links in my business solution (View all products to learn more or select an additional payment solution or we can recommend one that fits your needs.) goes to PayPal live site.
Any one facing this crazy PayPal sandbox behavior !!!
When you say you can't access My Settings and My Selling tools under My Profile, are you getting an error or what is it doing specifically. The Pro account that you have in sandbox, will work for testing Website Payments Standard. Also, another option if you can't create test buttons from your sandbox account would be to log into your live account and create a non hosted / clear text button. Then you would just modify the button code, and change the URL in the form tag from the live site to the sandbox site. Also, you will need to change the value of the business variable and set it to either the email address of your test sandbox seller account or the merchant id. Another work around that has worked in the past as well, is going into your live account and going to the page you are wanting and copy the URL from the address bar and just modifing it to include the sandbox URL.
So if my live site URL was something like:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=
I would just change it to
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=
Also, if you can give me more details about what is happening when you try to access your profile in your sandbox account I can look into it further.

UrbanAirship - Where is a setting for 'Allow Push From Device' in the admin page?

I read the urbanairship documentation about how to 'Allow Push [notificaition] From Device' and in the document, it said there should be an option to do so. However, when I am in the admin page of my app. I cannot see that option. I saw that I can edit: Application name, Application Icon, Category, Rich Push Enabled, Push Notification Support, Apple push certificate, Certificate password, Push debug mode, BlackBerry stuff...,Android stuff.
Where is an option to 'Allow Push From Device'? Am I looking at the right Admin page? Is the doc out-of-date?
Thank you very much for any helps or guidances!
Found this answer on their support pages:
Thank you for contacting us. We made a change to the system that for any new apps created, that option would no longer be available. If you send us an email to support#urbanairship.com with your app key and original request, we can turn this on for you.
