Build2016 Videos:

By watching video, this plug-in mechanism is more powerful than App Service, but it is more restrictive and cannot be called through custom interfaces in code. Study the code provided in the video project (), the main app by invoking a third-party plug-in, can achieve the image of the crop, adjust the grayscale and color reversal, but the mechanism is a third-party plug-in to provide a HTML5 local file, put in the public folder (the main app and the plug-in shared common folder), The main app then loads the HTML5 file in the WebView control, and the file is passed to the main app after the image is processed by JavaScript. The main app is to base64 the image first, converted to a string, passed to the WebView in the JavaScript, after processing, the same through the base64 into a string passed to the main app. The process is a bit cumbersome ...

API Documentation:

9, more easy to install. appx or. appxbundle Files installation package (14393)

Document:

10. Use lighting, blur, noise assets, mixed mode, etc. to create a more realistic user interface and context material

11, through the network in multiple devices in the device distribution app package, suitable for multi-person assisted development scenarios:

12. The UWP background task can be run in the same process as the main process (one-process background task model) (14393)

13. svg icon: Use a static SVG resource as a icon/image

Because SVG is a vector graphic, there is no aliasing on the high split screen, and you can replace the large PNG icon to reduce the app package size. Dynamic SVG follow-up support

UWP streaming Install lets you tell Windows store the first download section. When the main section is downloaded, the user can launch and run your app, and the rest of the package can continue to finish loading in the background.

15. Comparepackage help developers distinguish between new and old installation packages:

When a user obtains an update for a UWP application, the deployment stack performs a differential download based on the change blocks in the application, thereby minimizing the user's bandwidth and update time. In Windows Creators update, a new tool (Comparepackage) was introduced to allow developers to understand the incremental impact of two packages on end users. Comparepackage will display file additions, changes, and deletions to allow developers to further refine as needed.
