About this tag
UWP APIs are a set of Windows Runtime APIs that require package identity and registration, making them primarily accessible to packaged (UWP) apps. Non-packaged Win32 applications often cannot directly call these APIs for features like BackgroundTasks, Notifications, LiveTiles, and Share. Discussions cover workarounds for using UWP APIs in Win32 apps, as well as new sensor features in Windows 10 such as sensor batching, ReadingTransform, and custom sensors, which are exposed through UWP APIs. The tag focuses on the integration challenges and capabilities of UWP APIs across different application models.

  1. Identity, Registration and Activation of Non-packaged Win32 Apps

    Many new and sought-after Windows APIs and features such as BackgroundTasks, Notifications, LiveTiles, Share and more, are either not available or not easily callable from non-packaged Win32 applications. This is due to the programming model for UWP APIs that integrate with the system and have a...
