Hmmm....not sure. The only person that I know of that has looked into coding with the new Windows 8 metro interface is dmolton. I'm not sure if he's considered creating a phone app or not. I suppose we could look into it further and see what all it may involve.

I just looked into publishing an app on the windows store and in order to do that, you must create a windows Dev Center account. They charge an annual fee of $99.

really? I am a newb, but I just saw the tool kit download for free

Also setup support ticket to find out if app is free if it would require paid registration

Hmm following apple's model.

I looked at the dev account description and you must have a paid account to post even free apps. In fact, you are limited to only 100 free apps on your dev account.

there is an app already there tank track. Its meant for apex but could we work it to monitor reefangel?

Probably not. I don't know how apex communicates with their controllers. It is most likely different than the way we do. So I doubt things would work properly.

Any way that I can help with this? I am willing to put some cash up to make a Windows Phone 8 app made and published...

I'm working a windows 8 store app now for tablets/pc's. I will take a look at what's required for a phone app.

Probably nothing. I think that the tablet/pc/phone would all be the same since it all uses the Metro UI.

n e news dmolton? I am in this big time if you are? I can donate if you want to split the loading app to store fee or whatever?

Hi All,
My Company have a developer license so we can add the app to the store for free so no need for someone to pay the $99.00 if this helps?

The app is still actively being worked on. I'm making progress almost daily. I will keep you guys updated as I hit milestones. As for the fees Microsoft charges for developer licenses, I already have a personal one and one through my company as well. We shouldn't have any issues getting it on the store.

When I'm closer to something "releasable" I'll start a new thread and ask for beta volunteers.

Hey Dave,
Let me know if you have any questions with the WP or W8 dev. I happen to have inside knowledge and can route you to resources, if need be.
