I have been making an UWP app with the using a MapControl but when I run the app I get an error in the bottom corner saying "Warning: MapServiceToken not specified". The XAML I am using is as follows:
<Maps:MapControl x:Name="MapControl1" Loaded="mapLoaded" ZoomLevelChanged="mapZoomChanged" MapServiceToken="AqK9nK0h_LngGSC8pHPzBJvl62yf617zRytgimB3fyYqdJPljcB-EGm3llmUUrlI"/>
As you can see I have specified the MapServiceToken and I have also tried specifying it using C# with no luck.
MapService.ServiceToken = "AqK9nK0h_LngGSC8pHPzBJvl62yf617zRytgimB3fyYqdJPljcB-EGm3llmUU...";
MapControl1.MapServiceToken = "AqK9nK0h_LngGSC8pHPzBJvl62yf617zRytgimB3fyYqdJPljcB-EGm3llmU...";
I have used www.bingmapsportal.com to get my token but I have also tried using the Application ID and Authentication Token from the Windows Dev Center. Any Ideas?
NOTE: For those who may be using older keys from Windows 8 platform
There seems to be an issue updating old keys to the Universal Windows Platform type. I had a key that was created in 2014, but even after I updated the key to Universal Windows it still would not authorize when I placed the key in the MapServiceToken value of the XAML. (it seems as though the value of the key itself never changes when you change the type on the key, even though it should update with a new value)
In order to solve this you have to create a brand new application key and use that value instead, and then the Warning message will go away.
