Windows Phone 8.1

When using the .NET SDK for Windows Phone 8.1 I am still getting an exception when calling the Init method that says the project has been linked to the 8.0 phone SDK. I can see that there are other questions about this on the forum, and am asking if there has any progress on resolving this issues. I am desperate to complete the migration of my Windows App from Parse, because we have already successfully migrated the Apple and Android Apps to Backendless.

Hi Francis,

Could you please be more specific and provide some code or link to relevant support topics, so that we have a better understanding of what your problem is?

I’m using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, if i create a new Windows Phone 8.1 Blank App (run it to make sure it’s fine in the emulator), then link it to the Bakendless.dll from the mobile folder of the downloaded .NET SDK.

As soon as I call Backendless.InitApp with my credentials an Exception is thrown. This is the error message:

Additional information: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Phone, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24eec0d8c86cda1e’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

And the stack trace:

at BackendlessAPI.Service.MessagingService…ctor()
at BackendlessAPI.Backendless.InitApp(String applicationId, String secretKey, String version)
at App2.App.OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)

I have checked and I have no reference to the Windows Phone 8.0 libraries, only 8.1, so it is definitely a Backendless dependency.

Does anyone have anything that they can tell me about this issue?

I’m getting desperate for these Apps to be finished and this is the last piece. Is there anything else that I can tell you to help you resolve this issue for me?
