Customize the title bar of your Universal App for Windows 10 is quite easy, but you need to write different code for PC and Mobile. The class that allows you to customize the title bar:
- when running on a PC is called TitleBar
- when running on a Mobile is called StatusBar
Before to call the API you first need to check if it exists (true if you are running on that platform):
//PC customization
if (ApiInformation.IsTypePresent(
"Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView"))
{
var titleBar = ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().TitleBar;
if (titleBar != null)
{
titleBar.ButtonBackgroundColor = Colors.DarkBlue;
titleBar.ButtonForegroundColor = Colors.White;
titleBar.BackgroundColor = Colors.Blue;
titleBar.ForegroundColor = Colors.White;
}
}
//Mobile customization
if (ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.UI.ViewManagement.StatusBar"))
{
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
if (statusBar != null)
{
statusBar.BackgroundOpacity = 1;
statusBar.BackgroundColor = Colors.DarkBlue;
statusBar.ForegroundColor = Colors.White;
}
}
You could receive an error
StatusBar doesn't exist in context
You resolve it to add in the reference for UWP project Windows Mobile Extensions for the UWP and Windows Desktop Extensions for the UWP.

Happy coding!
Why add Calabash to your project? Because without it you can't test your application with Xamarin Test Cloud.
Scenario
I created my app for iOS and I want to test it on Xamarin Cloud. First thing I have to install to create a UITest easily is Xamarin Test Recorder. When I opened this application, I was confuse because nobody explain what kind of app I can choose. Basically if you have a iOS project, before use Xamarin Test Recorder, you must create an .ipa and it means you have to create an archive and publish it.

After createing a UITest project you can sent it with Export function directly to TestCloud. The problem I discovered is
Errors and Failures:
1) SetUp Error : RecorderTest.NewTest
SetUp : System.Exception : Unable to contact test backend running in app. A common cause is that the app is not properly linked with Calabash. Please verify that it includes the Calabash component.

Why this? Because I didn't install Calabash.
Add Calabash for iOS
First al all, open your Terminal with admin privileges. Then execute this script:
gem install calabash-cucumber
gem install calabash-android
gem install xamarin-test-cloud
Now in your system there are the basic for Calabash.

Now you can install a Calabash sandbox. Do not use sudo to install the Calabash Sandbox. Execute this script
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calabash/install/master/install-osx.sh | bash
Now in the directory of your iOS project execute this script:
calabash-ios download
And finally you can generate a feature folder. The features folder is a special folder where Cucumber expects the test code to reside. Calabash can create this folder and provide some boilerplate code to get us started.
The last step is to execute in your iOS project the following command in the Terminal
calabash-ios gen
Now you create a new .ipa and do a new test. This time it will work!
Happy coding!
WebAssembly, a portable code format that could make for a faster web, has moved to minimum viable product (MVP) status, with browser vendors now able to switch WebAssembly on by default.

A recent bulletin from Mozilla Senior Staff Engineer Luke Wagner said representatives of the four major browsers agreed that the design and binary format were complete to the extent that no further design work was doable without implementation experience and significant usage. Browsers represented included Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and WebKit, which is Apple's browser engine for Safari, according to the bulletin posted on a World Wide Web Consortium mailing list.
WebAssembly is a highly touted effort that not only is set to run web apps in the browser at near-native speeds but also allow for other languages to be used for browser programming beyond JavaScript. The effort has drawn praise from JavaScript founder Brendan Eich, who recently expressed concern that the four browser vendors might end up disunifying over the project, thus jeopardizing it. But Wagner said proponents for all four browsers have been active and participate in the WebAssembly Community Group.
For developers, WebAssembly provides fast load times for large codes and predictable, near-native runtime performance, Wagner said. "This enables developers to bring functionality and experiences to the web that might have otherwise been gated on JavaScript." Since WebAssembly can be used as a library from JavaScript, JavaScript developers can utilize WebAssembly's performance through libraries and frameworks.
WebAssembly could possibly use other languages, such as Python, in the browser, depends on the language's ecosystem, Wagner said. "One requirement for supporting a language is that WebAssembly provides the necessary features to run that language efficiently. For many languages, this requires adding garbage collection [memory management] features to WebAssembly, which is on the road map but will take at least a year or two." The other challenge of supporting a language is porting over language libraries and frameworks to run in a browser and use web APIs.
