Enterprise Development Cliff Strom and Shawn Henry Program Managers Windows Phone 2-014
Agenda • Goals and overview • Account creation and cert acq • App enrollment and deployment • App launch and phone home
Goals and overview • Enterprise applications
Companies control which phones may run their apps Enterprise apps may install and run only on phones that are enrolled with the associated enterprise Companies control the lifecycle of their apps No ongoing interaction from Microsoft Companies control the deployment and distribution It’s highly recommended to authenticate users prior to app enrollment and app deployment Enable companies to deploy business applications to their employees privately and securely.
App enrollments and installs require user confirmation Updates of existing apps can be done silently Consumer and enterprise data are kept separate Companies can inventory their own apps, but not marketplace apps Enable end users to feel in control while preserving a company’s right to protect their data.

Building a Company Hub • Signing apps • Generating tokens • Installing and querying apps • Launching apps
Generating tokens • Start with the .pfx file • Use AETGenerator • %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\AETGenerator\Aetgenerator.exe • <<cert file name>> <<password>> • Generate an .aetx file • An AET needs to be generated once per year, when a new cert is acquired from Symantec
Signing apps • Everything with a PE header must be signed • As well as the .xap itself • XapSignTool • Located in the Windows Phone SDK directory %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XapSignTool • Wraps signtool.exe - so it must also be in the path, too %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86 • Protip: • use BuildMDILXap.ps1 in a post-build step
Installing apps • Installed apps can be enumerated with InstallationManager.AddPackageAsync() • Returns an IAsyncOperationWithProgress • Attach to the Completed and Progress handlers • Six progress notifications • 0 Started • 5 Confirmation dialog is displayed • 10 User accepts install confirmation, download begins • 50 App is finished downloading • 55 App has begun installation • 100 App installation complete
Querying apps • Installed apps can be enumerated with InstallationManager.FindPackagersForCurrentPublisher() • Retrieves all apps from the same publisher or signed with the same certificate • Including the app making the query • Installing apps can be enumerated with InstallationManager.GetPendingPackageInstalls() • Protip: • In the app manifest set your PublisherID to the certificates UID, e.g. {EE6B2808-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Launching apps • Apps can be launched with • Package.Launch() • Find the package you want with FindPackagersForCurrentPublisher() • Only apps from the same publisher, or signed with the same certificate can be launched
