Functional Parity? #7

Closed jezzsantos closed 5 years ago

jezzsantos commented 5 years ago

According to: https://github.com/ms-iot/iot-core-azure-dm-client this repo is the future of the DM capability. Have I got it right that the device-agent in this repo logically replaces the dm-client?

We have not gotten far with the dm-client yet, so we are considering adopting this device-agent instead.

However, I am not seeing any support in this device-agent for app update, or app install like there is in dm-client.

Can this device-agent still install a UWP app, and then upgrade the app with a new version of the app, installed from a package file in Azure Storage blob?

Hi jezzsantos,

You are right - we are replacing the iot-core-azure-dm-client with this repo.

Currently, we have not ported the UWP app management support yet to the new repo/agent.

However, we are currently working on it and it will be made available as soon as it is ready.

Feedback is welcome!

What other functionality from the older repo are you considering? This helps us prioritize the porting order.

Is there some feature you wanted but couldn't find in either?

thanks, george

Thanks @gmileka ,

At this point we just need the ability to install and update an existing application of our own onto the device, and start it, and set it as the startup foreground application.

Thanks jezzsantos - we should be able to share something with you for application management sometime in March.

Is there an update about this feature this is one I'm really looking for as well.

Soon or should we use the old repo? Does the old repo support UWP app update?

gmileka commented 5 years ago

Hello everybody,

This took us longer than we thought - but we're excited to say that it is available now.

Docs can be found here.

Let us know how this goes...

I'll close this issue now... feel free to open a new issue if you see any problems.

thanks, george

I am new to this, how does https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdks relate to these tools? What are the use cases?
