Windows phone Tango may support 120 languages

January 30, 2012 Leave a Comment

There are few rumors about next version of Windows Phone OS named ‘Tango’.  This version going to support more number of languages. Currently windows phone supporting 35 languages, but this version may come with 3 times higher count then current Mango update. It is going to support 120 languages.

Good news for C++ developers:-

In an event Microsoft employe (India) told the next version of Windows Phone support C++ for lower-level programming likely designed to game developers who need to performance out of the hardware.

So,it seems we can get more updates/features in Apollo than Tango. Apollo is the next version of Windows Phone OS name. Because Microsoft increasing performance version by version and adding bulk of features.

In one word the Windows Phone user never (need to) install any other apps. Because it comes with mostly all featured apps like People Hub, Xbox Games, Zune and so on.

And also few more rumors about Nokia Lumia :-

1) Nokia Lumia 910 with 12 MP camera and it is coming soon

2) Nokia Lumia 800 with white color for Australians in March (2012) , it’s confirmed!

3) Nokia 900 coming to England, Portugal and Russia in June, 2012

There are just gossips about Windows Phone and OS. There is no official confirmation yet  other than White Nokia Lumia 800.

When I  tried to run my app in my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2, Xcode’s status bar text is change in this order Building, Running on <Device name> and immediately it is say finished running <app name>. But, it is running fine in iPad and other latest versions of iPhone.

I check with all settings,  I given support from iOS 3.0 and I changed my provisioning profile download freshly and setup. But no use then after several tries I found the solution while Bing for it.

Here is the solution steps:-

1) Go to info.plist file and check for “Required device Capabilities“  key. if it is present check with items.

2) If this key contains sub key item(s) value with “armv7“. Then just remove that item or make items count Zero / 0.

3) Next go to Build settings of your target and find the setting “Architectures” and add “armv6” to existing value. Please check with image above how it looks like.

4) Now select your device and Start running (Command + R).
