I just submitted my app, and now it's "waiting for review"... I want to send someone on my test team the latest version using Ad Hoc distribution. However, I keep getting this error:
while attempting to login to iTunes Connect during validation. Is there a way around this?
I would recommend using a service like http://www.testflightapp.com. You can use the same IPA you submitted to the app store with the same license and distribute it to anyone via an email address. They have to install software but it works great.
Update: This answer from Spokane-Dude (questioner)
You don't need to validate the application to use ad hoc distribution. You archive it, choose "Distribute...", and then choose the middle radio button "Save for Enterprise or Ad Hoc Deployment". You choose a profile, click through any keychain prompts, and get a save dialog.

I'm using the VSC Teams Toolkit. But when I sign in to my Azure account to provision my files, it says "No subscriptions discovered" as shown below:
Which subscription should I get to proceed with provisioning the files?
As the information explained, your logged-in Azure account doesn't seem to have associated Azure subscription.
You can login to your Azure portal, and under subscriptions, please check whether you have accessible subscription.
I had the same issue. You really need to go to portal.azure.com -> Subscriptions and have at least 1 subscription listed in the table below.
If no subscription is available, create new one - Pay as you go.
Then, in VS Code - sign out, sign in and subscription will be available
If vscode is complaining about not have an active subscription in the Teams Toolkit extension, for one make sure the tenant id is added to vsocde. See here enter link description here and here enter link description here
I am trying to create a Social media kind of networking Flutter app in which user can share his profile link. That link must redirect directly to user's profile if app is installed else redirect to link to download app. I am using Firebase as backend. Any resources or packages to work with?
You can use the package Share to enable the user to share their profile themselves. Its really easy to use.
If you would like to share a profile you will need to provide the navigational route to get to the profile screen, then provide the user's ID/data to get/view the desired data.
As far as getting a deep link to get the user to download the app if it is not installed, you can use firebase's dynamic link feature. You can customize what the link preview looks like and says. They have really good docs that you can follow.
You could use a Firebase dynamic link.
A dynamic link is basically a link pointing to possibly 3 resources:
Web URL
Android (Google Play) App ID
iOS (App Store) App ID
So once you configure it on Firebase (it's simple to configure), when the user access the link, Firebase will employ a decision tree to decide where to send the user.
In case the access is done on a mobile device, but if the app is not downloaded, it'll send the user to the store, and after returning from the store, will send the user to the correct path you've configured, following the link.
And on the app, you can implement the SDK to handle this link and when receiving this route request, redirect the user to the right profile they want to access.
I could go through the whole process, but I suggest you check the whole Firebase documentation:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links
In case you have a question on that where I can explain further, just let me know.
I recently released my quiz app in the german Play Store and I get some impressions/downloads from the US which is odd since it should not be visible to the Play Store there. I am using Firebase authentication and I also see that some users authenticate but in my database they don't have an account (username, avatar etc.) which also can't be because after you login with Google you get to a page where you can choose your username and in the second you reach to this site, a user document will be automatically created, but in some cases it does not get created.
I noticed this behavior since my app was in beta testing.
Is it a normal behavior that there are some users who can see and are able to download an app that is usually only available in one country?
It can happen because google play console generates pre-launch reports for your app, so I think they use dummy accounts to login into your application. It can also happen when you submit an update to your app and it goes through a review process.
Issue:
On several ios devices, after clicking on 'Sign-In' button within the iframe(having src as Power BI report 'Secure Embed Code'), a new window opens to sign in to Power BI and after successful sign in, the window closes. However, iframe does not get reloaded. A manual intervention to reload the page is required to view the report. This exists on several ios devices (irrespective of the browser chrome or safari).
Implementation:
We have a web application using Azure AD Authentication, in this web application, we are embedding the Power BI reports with the help of 'Secure Embed Code' in an iframe.
Current Workflow:
1) User sign in to the web application ->
2) Iframe (having secure embed code) is displayed with a Sign-In button ->
3) User clicks on 'Sign-In' button within the iframe ->
4) A new window opens for few seconds to log in to Power BI Services ->
5) This new window closes automatically after successful login to Power BI Service ->
6) Iframe reloads and report is displayed
This flow works fine for Windows and Android devices. However, for several ios devices, Step#6(Iframe reload) does not work.
I am aware of the limitation of 'Secure Embed code' as
Some browsers require you to refresh the page after sign-in, especially when using InPrivate or InCognito modes.
Refer Limitations section of link for details.
Required Functionality:
After sign-in to the application, before rendering of any iframe, a link should be provided which generates a new window and prompt user to sign in into the Power BI Services. After successful SignIn in the new window, a message should be passed to the previous window that 'signIn is successful' and the new window should be closed. Once our application receives this message 'signIn is successful', then the iframe should be rendered. This will help us resolve the issue that exists in ios devices.
Note: We do not want to use 'App Owns Data/User Owns Data' approach as these approaches require to purchase dedicated capacity for production.
Please suggest if this is possible and provide some reference as to how could we achieve this.
Or suggest if there is any other workaround to resolve the issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Note: We do not want to use 'App Owns Data/User Owns Data' approach as these approaches require to purchase dedicated capacity for production.
No, this isn't true. You will need dedicated capacities if you use embed tokens (e.g. generated with GenerateTokenInGroup). You can embed reports with AAD tokens and keep using shared capacities (see tokenType property).
The inconvenience that you are trying to overcome comes from the way secure embedding is implemented. This is how this feature works. Microsoft didn't made it because they wanted to make it inconvenient for the users. They made it this way, because it wasn't possible or easy enough to implement it better. You have to either way for a while, until browsers changes or Microsoft updates this feature, or use proper embedding (user owns data scenario in your case).
I am not able to find , where to create Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile ? Can someone please provide me a link from where I can create Ad Hoc Provision profile.I didn't find it on developer.apple.com.
You need to join the Apple developer program to create provisioning profiles (The section on the bottom of your screen shot). Once you register, you will see a link to Certificates, IDentifiers and profiles. From there you can create provisioning profile.
You won't see the certificates, IDs, and Profiles section if you only have a free Apple Developer account (I'm guessing you have the free account?). In order to manage the profiles certs, etc. you will need to sign up for the $99 / year paid developer account.
Once you have a paid account, sign in to developer.apple.com and you should see the "Certificates, IDs, and Profiles" link on the left.
To use Xamarin with a free developer account, see Xamarin's documentation. Note that this only allows you to run on a device, but, again, you cannot do an ad hoc build with the free account.
