Auto-launching apps URI associations for Windows Phone 8 ' shows Sorry no apps found'

I have published an Windows Phone 8.1 silverlight application in to the store. And I integrated Auto-launching apps URI associations for Windows Phone 8 with this build.

So that my application can be open from any other application by just calling the uri schema.

await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new System.Uri("mypp:"));

And it open my app from another application if it already installed on the device.

In case the user did not install my app, it shows Search for app in the store message dialog, and clicking on this store app get opens, searching for application and shows 'Sorry, no apps found'

What I missed to implement here? I need to show my app in the list when the they search in the store.

I checked with 'foursquare:' & 'metrotube' , It shows in the search list if it is not previously installed. Please suggest what I missed here.

Solution

  • Unfortunately LauncherOptions is not supported for Windows Phone 8. Any alternative for this ?

    My issue has been resolved by adding Launch options with the Launch Uri method.But it is supported in windows phone 8.1 version.

     private async void LaunchChillr(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
  {
      var options = new Windows.System.LauncherOptions();
      options.FallbackUri = new Uri("http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=0dff7a2f-51f8-xxxx-8ff7-5e9ddab540c0");
      options.TreatAsUntrusted = true;
      await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new System.Uri("myapp:"), options);
   }
