How to run Native Messaging example on Microsoft Edge? - chrome-native-messaging

I want to run SecureInput example but after I built and deployed NativeMessagingInProcess project, Extension loaded on Edge but secureinput.html file don't load content.js file. And, I checked on regedit, nothing isn't added. Did I do anything wrong? This's very different from Chrome and Firefox Native messaging extension.

Have you hosted secureinput.html in a web server? Have you run it on Windows 10 insider preview build? According to Microsoft Edge extension API roadmap, Native Messaging APIs are supported only on build 15002 and above version.

I guess Native messaging works with using desktop bridge in window 10 anniversary, if you have window creators then desktop bridge wont be required. please correct me if I am wrong.

Microsoft Edge Native messaging doesn't work in window 10 anniversary, the Native messaging APIs are not available until Window 10 Creators Update(15063). The desktop bridge is only needed when UWP app cannot meet your requirements.

Looking for windows App fpr Twilio Frontline

Has anyone found, built, or know if there is or going to be a Windows app built for Twilio Frontline. The focus is to enable a app but seems like only ios only? Not even driod or windows??
Twilio Frontline is a mobile application available on iOS and Android. There is not a Windows version available, though there is currently a web version in private beta.

Does flutter SDK provide any framework to develop apps for Windows phone?

I want to know whether google is planning to support any other platforms other than iOS and Android for Cross platform development using Flutter.
Like React native windows for React native does flutter have framework that would support windows phone development?
Nobody can answer this question except Google, however it seems very unlikely that anyone would put effort into Windows Phone when even Microsoft are not:
Of course we'll continue to support the platform.. bug fixes, security updates, etc. But building new features/hw aren't the focus. 😟

As for:
support any other platforms other than iOS and Android for Cross platform development using Flutter
This is not officially supported, but lots of people in the community are interested in running Flutter on desktop and have been playing around with it. Maybe in future it'll cover more platforms even if they're not official or from Google.
https://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding
A job we are doing right now has windows phone compatibility as a requirement.
My suggestion is to look into exporting Flutter to Web and then making a windows app which is just a full screen webview and loading the flutter web app in the app's internal webview.

Programmable Chat - Xamarin Forms Chat App for Windows (UWP) and Mac in future

We are building a chat client in Xamarin Forms (.NET, PCL) for Windows 10 (UWP), Android, iOS and for Mac in future.
We are evaluating Twilio Programmable Chat as a platform to built on.
Is there a .NET SDK (PCL or non-PCL) that we can use to build the client?
Or can we built one of our own using a .NET socket library of our own?
There's no .NET SDK currently available, however Xamarin SDK is planned (no exact date, we'll try to get it going ASAP). You can always use generated wrappers to access the REST API from your application or write your own. The API documentation on the site should be sufficient to get you going, but if you have any specific questions - feel free to ask on SO or from Twilio Support.
Hope this helps.

windows 10 IOT electron app support

I don't know can I ask a simple answer here?
Can Windows 10 IOT support electron app build with nodejs and javascript/typescript?
Somewhere I read it support Linux ARM, but how about Windows 10 IOT?
I'm fairly sure the answer is no.
For Windows 10 IoT you'll need to develop apps using the Universal Windows Platform SDK.
I'll delete this answer if we find out otherwise.
I have been looking for an answer to this question for some time and mostly all explorations have led me to pages where the "fairly sure answer is no" is the usual response due to reasons blah blah.
Strangely enough, according to this post (and quite an old one):
Compiling Electron Apps for the Windows Store
https://www.microsoft.com/developerblog/2016/05/08/compiling-electron-apps-for-the-windows-store/
You can pack your electron app and use it on Windows IoT.
Will do some packing and update if any of this works.
You can run ARM apps on Windows IOT that are not UWP applications (sort of, but probably not supported yet):
Make a web app and do this:
https://carlos.mendible.com/2017/03/21/step-by-step-running-aspnet-core-on-raspberry-pi/
Then, make a UWP app with a web view to the app you just made:

BlackBerry OS 6 App Dev

When developing a application for iOS that pulls in a web site, you have a very simple web app wrapper that as far as I know acts like an iframe, pulls in the web site and boom - you have an app.
My understanding is that if done this way you are using a "stripped down" Safari to view the web site in a "app" as it is a web wrapper.
When developing an app for BB OS6, is it the same concept? If I develop a wrapper that says "go fetch site x and display it in this app" is it going to use BB OS6 default browser APIs to render said site?
Also is there links to said API?
If all you want is a container to display Web content I'd highly recommend you use Webworks (or cordova for cross platform) as opposed to Java. WebWorks already creates and sets up the bf2 for you in a tested and proven way.
The equivalent of UIWebView for iOS would be the BlackBerry BrowserField.
If you want some examples of how to use it, I recommend installing the BlackBerry Eclipse plugin. That will install in Eclipse the full BlackBerry Java SDK (e.g. version 6.0, 7.0, etc.), which comes with lots of sample code. From Eclipse, you can then
Import... -> BlackBerry -> Import BlackBerry Samples -> BrowserField2Demo.
Note that you want the BrowserField2Demo, not BrowserFieldDemo!
Or, you can go directly to the github site with BlackBerry sample code.
