App Model: Concepts

Application
Uniquely identifiable, licensable and serviceable software product packaged as a XAP

Application Deployment
Steps include Ingestion, Certification and Signing
Windows Phone Marketplace

Application license
Crypto-verifiable object issued to grant rights to an application
Windows Phone Marketplace

Slide 10

App Lifecycle

Windows Phone Marketplace

Phone only installs .xap packages signed by marketplace

Phone handles all aspects of .xap installation based on the manifest

Individual apps cannot make arbitrary changes to the phone during installation

Users control install, update and uninstall, while the marketplace controls revocation

Individual apps do not control their own lifecycle on the phone

Slide 11

App Isolation and Execution

Applications and licenses
Application install folders

Running applications

Phone only runs apps that have a valid marketplace license Apps are sandboxed into separate security accounts while installed and at runtime Resource allocation policy keeps the foreground app responsive

Resource management policy ensures the user can always use Start to run a new app

A-GPS Accelerometer Compass Light A-GPS Compass Media Wi-Fi Radio Graphics

Hardware BSP

Hardware Foundation

Each app executes inside an isolated, least-privileged host process All app code is transparent and CLS-verifiable, mitigating impact of common attacks Frameworks enable app code to interact with app model, UI model, phone functionality

UI Model

Slide 17

UI Model: Concepts
Application
UI and logic for functionality exposed through pages

Page
A single screen of user interaction elements

Session
An ordered workflow of user interactions spanning applications

Slide 18

UI Model: Familiar Web Concepts

Phone application
Provides UI represented as XAML pages connected into cross-app flows by URIs

Web application
Provide media represented as HTTP resources linked by URLs

Shell frame
Requests pages, renders UI, and handles navigation across apps

Web browser
Requests HTTP resources, renders them, and handles navigation across sites

Sessions and back stack

Groups together sequences of pages corresponding to a users activity across apps

History and tabs

Groups together sequences of HTTP resources corresponding to a users activity across sites

Slide 19

UI Navigation: Example
Pictures
Take a look at recent photos

People
Look up the status for a contact

Pictures
Continue looking at recent photos

Active sessions

Slide 20

UI and State Management: Concepts

Discarded while the session is paused

Page UI Describes the visual appearance of a page

Page State Contains data that describes an instance of a page, analogous to browser cookie

Retained in shell frame to support resuming paused sessions

Slide 21

UI and State Management: Example

Running Applications Dehydrated and rehydrated on demand from saved state

Shell Frame Monitors resource usage to decide when to pause sessions Apps restarted and UI rehydrated as the user navigates thru the phone
Slide 22

Graphics Composition

Shell frame composes all UI into a single screen Central page management enables cross app UI transitions and other effects System wide Z order enforcement emphasizes core phone functionality
