WACK - Windows Metro App Cert. about touchscript

[valyard]

Hm.

I knew that win rt was limited but Timer, String.Format, EventArgs?? These are core C# features. The whole framework is based on Events howcome they don't support that?! I don't get it.

Isn't it a mistake?

I don't thinkt that this is a mistake, because it has nothing todo with the Unity Beta, its the report generated by the Windows App Certifikation Kit in the latest Version (2.2).
I did cut out the LongPress Feature and rewrote all the String.Format calls today, so planing to run another test next Week.
Still rhe System.EventArgs worries me too...

[valyard]

Can you google if Events are supported? This is weird.

Good News, Events are supported http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.eventargs.eventargs.aspx so this problem is unity related. But the System.Timers namespace seems not to be included. But there is System.Threading.Timers, maybe they have similiar functionality.

[valyard]

So what are you going to do with Eventargs? Post in unity beta forums?

I can not talk about the beta forums, but Events are not going to be a problem. I just recompiled and going to run the certification.

[valyard]

So, you removed the inheritance from System.EventArgs, right? We'll see how it goes.

Removing Inheritance and/or a certain workaround did not bear any usable results. So WACK has to wait for the next iteration of the beta. The Timer problem (and certain others I circumvented by cutting functionality) still exists. If you are interested I can keep posting about the progress.
The API description for the .Net subset used for Metro Apps can also be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br230232.aspx
or the overview http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br230302.aspx

I am also facing the same issue it says Supported API test Failed...Trying my best to resolve it..

Hey,

The EventArgs Problem should be long fixed in the latest Unity Stable. Regarding general compatibility: I actually got our game through WACK way back in May. But there is a lot of functionality i simply cut out instead of reintegrating them. If Valentin is ok with it I can post the core functionality package that will pass WACK

[valyard]

Can you just list here what prevents an app passing WACK?
I wonder how much change it requires.

I do not remember the details anymore.
But I know that I removed most of the InputSources scripts except mobile and mouse. In the latest version I could mostly keep the Simple Gestures, because some of the others used a timing function that was cut in .Net Store. Also i skipped compiling the library and integrated the sources directly in Unity. Back when the Unity Beta hat namespacing issues I had to remove them as well, but I think this problem is not present anymore.
That's all I can remember right now.

[valyard]

Can you guys post the error messages?

OMG what's wrong with System.String.Format and System.Timers.Timer?!
These are like core features of .net.

[AbhiLegend]

I am using Unity 4.2 edition!! Don't know exactly why this issue?? The
program is running perfectly on my Computer its only when i go for the WACK
test its happening.Is there a way by which i can bind these DLLS against
the .NET Core?

I'll try to build a dll which passes the test tomorrow.

[valyard]

Can you get the latest DLLs from develop branch, delete everything except TouchScript.dll, compile an example app and check it in WACK? I have Windows 7 here and can't compile to Windows Store platform )8

[valyard]

Guys?

Hey, sorry I missed your post. Busy and hard work week. Will try it with an knwon working built tomorrow or monday.

*Edit 22.10

So, I tested the develop branch DLLs in an Empty Project against WACK 2.2 (Win8) and 3.1 (Win8.1) for x86 and it passes. Good Job ;)

I will try again with a real project and on ARM as soon as there is time.

[valyard]

You deleted all the other dlls except TouchScript, right?
Are you sure that touchscript.dll got compiled into your project? If it's empty.

So, tested with full project and the current develop branch. And it crashes like the master branch. The changes in .Net for Store Apps are massive. There are Modification to Classes and Function (I most often stumple upon changes in the Reflection System) as well as severe Security Mechanisms (No direct file access, no access on window handles etc.).
You have to understand Windows 8 App as a common base for programs to be compatible on an Tablet/ARM/Smartphone as well as on a standalone desktop. Additionally here is the WACK Result:

Can you delete all the DLLs except TouchScript.dll. I think you should be fine. All the unsupported stuff is in other DLLs.

Reconfigured the test and ran it again, turns out I removed the additional DLLs, but forgot remove the dependencies in the Win8 Project. So everything passed fine, great Work!

... now I just have to reintegrate and recompile with my right mouse button hack.

[valyard]

WHich hack was that?

It was for forwarding right click as well as left click as a touch event.
