Microsoft Store Services SDK

If you wish to use NuGet, follow these instructions instead of downloading and installing from this page.

Summary

Use the Microsoft Store Services SDK to add features to your Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps that help you engage with your customers. All APIs in this SDK are exclusive to UWP apps for Windows 10. The current release of the SDK includes APIs for the following features:

• Create A/B tests that you can run and manage in Dev Center.
• Launch Feedback Hub so customers can submit feedback and upvotes that you can review in Dev Center.
• Send targeted push notifications to your customers from Dev Center.

For more information about using this SDK, see the documentation. For Q&A, and general discussions on the APIs, see the Engagement framework forum on MSDN.

Note: The Microsoft Store Services SDK no longer includes advertising libraries. To get the libraries you need to show ads in your UWP apps, install the Microsoft Advertising SDK.

Version 10.0.2

• Advertising framework. The public APIs in this release are unchanged from 10.0.1. However, this release introduces the following improvements to the advertising framework (you do not need to install the latest release of the SDK in order for your apps to benefit from these improvements):

Version 10.0.1

• Engagement framework: This release adds one new method StoreServicesEngagementManager.UnregisterNotificationChannelAsync. This method invalidates the channel that is being used for notifications so the app no longer receives push notifications from any services, including targeted Windows Dev Center push notifications and other notifications using Windows Push Notifications Services (WNS).
• Advertising framework. The public APIs in this release are unchanged from 10.0.0. However, this release introduces the following improvements to the advertising framework (you do not need to install the latest release of the SDK in order for your apps to benefit from these improvements):
  • New signals to help advertisers buy on a viewable impression basis.
  • Code to permit VPAID video demand served through InterstitialAd.
  • Bug fixes.

Version 10.0.0

  • For Windows 10 apps, see the MSDN topic with prescriptive steps to refactor.
  • For down-level apps, AdMediator libraries remain in the Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows and Windows Phone 8.x..
  • Several bug fixes, including some refactoring C++ to WRL to avoid first chance platform exceptions during development.
