Our app has passed review, and our own internal testing with no major issues recognized, however when downloaded from the store, always crashes in a particular spot.
It is quite difficult for us at the moment to get any crash logs, so at this point I am just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and what was happening?
The app is a native C++ DirectX project using the FMOD library for audio as well as SQLite for Windows Phone 8.
First of all try to test your app from store on different devices and with different culture/language settings. It's a common bug when parsing from file fails because of different delimiters, DateTime format, etc.
Another common reason - missing capabilities in manifest.
Third reason, thas was causing problems to lot of apps - they try to download something from Internet during the first start, but the connection is not available.
And because you mentioned you have native DirectX app, try to test your app compiled in a same way it's deployed from store. Sadly I can't find the link how to do it right now...

I'm starting my first FireTv app in Android Studio and noticed that if I choose Android TV as a new project template, it does not come with the test packages like the phone & tablet templates do, ex: com.company.app (test), com.company.app (androidTest). I've looked through the Android TV docs and Fire TV docs but have not found a mention of the testing packages. Does anyone know why these packages aren't included or how to test without them?
In some cases, writing tests for your code can be as important as writing the code itself. Testing can help ensure that your product runs the way it should, and also provides useful information for when you’re trying to debug your code. In this guide, we’ll be examining a few ways to get started in Android testing with an example project called PowerUp, an educational mobile game app for preadolescent girls created by the Systers Community. Since this is an open source project, you can contribute to PowerUp on GitHub if you’re interested after reading this guide (remember to contribute to the GSoC17 branch, not develop)
I am trying to install ColdFusion 5 but it looks like data2.cab file is missing from my copy. I understand on Adam Cameron's Dev Blog he had a copy of Coldfusion 5 from the document he wrote about installing it on Windows 7 64bit. Does anyone have a copy of the software please?
You can find installers for older versions of ColdFusion on a community maintained site: http://www.cfmlrepo.com/
I doubt you'll be able to get it up and running reliably as it's a 32-bit installer and won't run on modern Windows. It's pre-Java, so you'll also have issues with C compatibility for things like custom CFX tags. If you've got an old OS on a server somewhere, maybe you can do something with it.
What problem are you trying to address? Working on a legacy application? CF 5 should no longer be running any kind of production sites as there are a world of security issues given the modern Internet.
If possible, I'd suggest trying to run the code on the open source Lucee CFML engine https://www.lucee.org/. Depending on the complexity of your application, it won't just be a matter of setting up data sources and running the code. But in the long run, if this app needs to exist for a while more, it'll be a safer and less expensive solution.
If you have more questions about CF 5, you'll probably find more help on the CFML Slack channel. You can get an invite here: https://cfml-slack.herokuapp.com/
I need to display a map containing markers for some devices locations. This application runs on windows (Desktop).
I am trying to find a good technology to display the map, and use coordinates, but I am having no success on finding any.
I've read a bit about QT Location Module and its Map component which seems to be really easy to use, but I couldn't make it work on windows (Compile doesn't find the module). People said this module is for mobile only.
My question is: is there a good api for using map/location with QT, QML into a Desktop application??
Location is going to be integrated in the main release of Qt but it is currently just an Add-on Module (git download url on the fourth row).
Useful information to ease the installation can be found in this thread of the Qt forum.
Finally, I've investigated the problem myself sometime ago and I've found this site full of interesting projects which uses Google API. Each project can be downloaded from GoogleCode. I've not test any of them but they look quite promising and maybe they can satisfy your needs.
I have written a big piece of C++ code in Visual Studio 2010 that is basically an OpenCV project. Currently, it exists only on my laptop.
When you run it, it turns on your webcam, captures your photo, tracks your face, detects some facial features, and then saves some measurements and information about the detected facial landmarks.
So far, so good...
I now want to extend this application and perform an international study; i.e. through a web browser such as Internet Explorer, users sitting at home would be able to run this VS2010 application remotely and, using their own webcams, the obtained information by the program is sent back to us and stored on a web server. Presently, I am using WampServer to have a server on my own machine, etc...
I have developed a web page where I can acquire and store the participants details, but I have no idea how to get them to access the program and run it, in order for their facial measurements and information to be captured by the software (that exists only on my machine at the moment).
I am not too sure if I have explained well what I would like to do, so please feel free to ask for clarification. But if you understand what I would like to know and find out, please provide me with tips and guidance.
Thanks in advance,
.

EDIT:
I cannot email the participants my C++ application, because (firstly) it contains copyright code and material, and (secondly) it requires installing Visual Studio 2010 on their machines! I want to reach people from all walks of life with just a Windows machine and a regular webcam. So, it has to be done through a web-server and using only a web-page. So, I guess my question is this: Is it possible to run a C++ code (that exists only on one machine/server) through peoples' web-browsers?
Short answer. Yes, possible.
capture webcam data (java,flash,silverlight,activex,html5 or custom browser native plugin)
then you send back data to the server which does whatever processing required.
I'm using QT 5 with MingW 4.7 and i'm trying to start a program with an embedded mysql server.
My current program uses a mysql server, but the server has to be manually started (so out of the program). This isn't user friendly of-course.
I did some research and I need to use the libmysqld library . But I don't know how.
Can anyone give me an example how to use this?
You can use an embedded mysql server within Qt. There are no that many difficulties with that at all. If you could point any you faced I can help you with that, indeed you should link your application with libmysqld and then just start a mysql process within your application (there are plenty documentation available about that). But as was pointed in comments - are you sure you want to do that. There are many nicer embedded solutions available like SQLLite (included in Qt)...
Documentation and examples
You probably will need to have a look on mysql driver supplied with Qt and may be fork it for embedded version, but that needs a bit closer look. But again I don't see really issues with that
