Windows Store 上目前已有超過4萬個Apps，隨著這個新的 App 平台愈來愈茁壯，現在市面上已經可以找到許多整理或分析 Windows Store Apps 的網站及服務，諸如之前提到過的 Distimo、 MetroStore Scanner、中國MSN等。而怎麼撈到 Windows Store 裡的最新資料呢?

 

有一個公開的網址可以讓你作這件事: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/sitemap_index.xml 

 

你會注意到這個 XML 裡面，有許多的 http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/sitemap/sitemap_???.xml，

我們打開其中一個 http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/sitemap/sitemap_54.xml 來看看:

 

再打開其中的 http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/zh-tw/app/9d55630c-c72d-463b-aa3a-24d1938eff00/m/ROW，就會看到某個 Windows Store App 的連結了!

 

以上提到的每一個 sitemap_???.xml 都包含了 5,000 個 Windows Store App URLs (含新增或更新)，若能分析這個每天更新的 Site Map，就能作出類似 MetroStore Scanner 之類的網站服務了。

Windows 市集讓您可以在 230 個以上的國家中，挑選要在哪些市場中陳列您的 App，但收費的 App 要如何知道在不同的國家是賣多少錢呢?

 

其實只要在Windows Store 的儀表版中的「銷售詳細資料」中，就能一目瞭然看到各種定價在不同國家/幣別下的售價了。

 

1. 上架過程中的「銷售詳細資料」:

 

2. 選擇價格後，就能看到在各個國家的不同售價了:

 

如果是IAP (In-App Purchase)，其定價也是使用相同的價格對照。

 

如果您要知道這個售價是如何被計算出來的，可以參考: 選擇您的業務模式。

以下這些可直接下載的60個 Visual Studio 2012 專案 (Project template)，可以讓您開始開發 Windows Store App 時，除了內建的模版外多了一些選擇。

您可以自由更動或修改其外觀，以確實符合您 App 的風格及需求；您也不應被這些模版的設計而限制了 App 的延伸設計及功能。說明及文件: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/616073/60-Design-Templates-for-Windows-Store-Apps
