Performance

Application Performance Startup is the chance to lose users We invested heavily in startup time for Windows Phone 8 Facebook app reduced from 12 seconds to 4 seconds Why? Execution environment improvements Compile in the cloud Core CLR improvements No work from developers – free (as in beer)!

Compile in the cloud Moving to CoreCLR brings Native Image Generator (NGEN) Code generation is expensive and time consuming on device Compile in the cloud NGEN’s your code when you submit Submit your XAP to marketplace just as you always have Code in XAP is NGEN’d and the XAP updated with compiled code What about my existing app? 7.1/7.8 apps are NGEN’d so Windows Phone 8 gets compiled version Original 7.1 apps is kept for download to 7.1 devices

Performance is as much an art as it is a science Users care about perceived performance not benchmarks Key Performance Indicators How often you use the app really impacts your feel for performance 4 seconds is still too long for the app you use all the time Perception is impacted by context switching Even if your app starts super fast if the user has to remember where they were it slows them down

Resuming applications In 7.5 we allowed apps to be in a suspended state This is great but… Only get the benefit if you tap back or use the task switcher we resumed the apps Task switcher isn’t a feature that every user will use

Enterprise

Enterprise Device management App deployment Enroll device with management server (inTune etc) Set policies to be applied and updated Automatically keep apps updated App deployment No need to deploy apps into Windows Phone Store Deploy using the technology that makes sense for your company Apps signed by you are deployable via web, email or app

Why Enterprise deployment matters to you Flexible deployment allows for considerable benefits Testing apps Uses company hub to distribute latest builds of your app to you testers Beta apps in the marketplace work great but not suited to daily builds Email & SD card deployment allow for simplicity With great power comes great responsibility…

Summary Significant application runtime improvements Fast App Resume helps every app – go do it! Multitasking improvements enable key new app experiences Live Tiles provide significant user experience advances Lockscreen and notifications allows you to build deeper integration Enterprise deployment allows for considerable flexibility
