I tried both modifiers disabled but it didn't help:

PedestrianFeaturesEnabled="False"
How can I achieve my goal?

So I have created a website in Wordpress to market a mobile app service that I provide. Once a user signs up on the website, I want to detect the device that they are on and send them to the appropriate app store to install the app to make it a seamless transaction for them. So far, I have been using a javascript library called MobileDetect that is based on a PHP MobileDetect project. It is basically based on deciphering the useragent string to determine the device. This has been working fine for awhile, but recently with iOS 13, I can no longer detect an iPad because Apple has changed the useragent because they don't want mobile versions of websites popping up automatically on iPad Pro, they would prefer full desktop versions of the webite to appear. So if a user signs up on a Android or an Amazon Fire device, I can still send them to the appropriate app store. But I am not able to distinguish between whether they sign up on a computer or an iPad as MobileDetect now sees them as both the same.
How can I detect an iPad running iOS 13 so that I can send them to Apple's App Store to download my app after they sign up???
I want to use Bing Map into my Windows Phone 8.1 store app. I know the WP8.1 SDK's MapControl API, which is used for map.
Is that a Bing map or Nokia map or HERE map, any official document about that?
If it is Nokia Map and not Bing Map, How to use Bing maps.
There is Windows 8.1 SDK available, and not for Windows Phone 8.1.
Any workarounds?
Thanks.
The built in maps in WP 7/8/8.1 is a Bing Maps control that is built into the WP SDK. This is also the case for WP10/Win10. Google maps has no map controls for Windows Phone.
You should target WP8.1 and not WP8 as that's the version most WP users are on. The WP8.1 maps control is also more inline with the WP10/Win10 map controls, so it will make it easier for you to upgrade your app in the future. You can find documentation here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn642089.aspx
I want to embed Ovi Maps in a desktop application in offline(but interactive) mode. GIven that these maps and their related map APIs are mainly targeted for mobile platforms, is this possible ? If so, can anyone point to any existing documentation on how to do this? Any pointers to existing examples would be a plus.
I considered using google Maps which can be integrated with desktop applications, but they cannot be used in offline mode.
Unfortunately, even if you can use Ovi Maps in your desktop application (using Nokia Qt C++ SQK with Location API, see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility/location-overview.html) you cannot use Ovi Maps in offline mode and there is currently no way to embed it (offline maps use is only possible on Nokia mobile devices that embed maps by default).
Regards
The latest branding of Ovi Maps has changed to Nokia Maps. The new - Nokia Maps Framework for Mobile HTML5 claims to have offline support. The API relies on the user using a browser which supports local storage, so provided your user base is using Google Chrome or Safari it would work on a desktop as well as various mobile platforms.
An example app can be found with the documentation
The offline claim can be found here
Can non-Metro apps make use of the Windows Push Notification infrastructure? i.e. C# Desktop apps running on Windows 8? Or Windows 7 for that matter? It seems to be a pretty generic model, but the overviews I've read don't cover this.
A related question is - can Metro apps be written that use "live tiles" in a standalone app that is not part of the Windows 8 start screen? i.e. you create a container app which holds live tile-like entities but has nothing to do with the start screen.
(1) No, it cannot. Only the Metro style apps can use the Windows Push Notification Service.
(2) From looking at a lot of the apps, they have a lot of modern elements that look like tiles. It looks like every Metro app has a tile though, so I don't think there's a way to write a Metro app that can't be put there.
I would like to create an app for Blackberry, iPhone and Android using Adobe Flex. But I need to access the phone's contacts and I can't seem to find a way to achieve this.
This information is not exposed via AIR for Mobile APIs.
You can't access them on all platforms; and the ones where you can require complicated work arounds.
The next version of AIR should address this. I expect we'll find out more at Adobe Max in October.
