Abstract

To pass the Windows Store certification requirements, developers must understand how to properly handle app activation and deactivation and how to preserve and restore both page state and application state. This chapter will provide you with the information you need to know to ensure that these tasks are handled, as well as how to enable fast app resume within your application. This chapter will wrap up with a recipe on how to launch other Windows Phone 8 apps from within your own app.
