9. App Model: Concepts Application Uniquely identifiable, licensable and serviceable software product packaged as a XAP Application Deployment Steps include Ingestion, Certification and Signing Application license Crypto-verifiable object issued to grant rights to an application Windows Phone Marketplace

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

11. Applications and licenses Application install folders App Isolation and Execution 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 Running applications

12. Sandbox enforced for host process based on declared capabilities System provides host process for app code App Hosting and Runtime 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 App Domain XNA Game Object CLR App Model Host SilverlightXNA HTML/JavaScript Silverlight Application Object Frameworks Kernel Hardware BSP App ModelUI ModelCloud Integration App management Licensing Chamber isolation Software updates Shell frame Session manager Direct3D Compositor Xbox LIVE Bing Location Push notifications Windows Live ID Security Networking Storage Hardware Foundation Push Notifications Location A-GPS Accelerometer Compass Light Proximity Media Wi-Fi Radio Graphics CompassA-GPS

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

18. Phone application Provides UI represented as XAML pages connected into cross-app flows by URI’s UI Model: Familiar Web Concepts Web application Provide media represented as HTTP resources linked by URL’s Shell frame Requests pages, renders UI, and handles navigation across apps Sessions and back stack Groups together sequences of pages corresponding to a user’s activity across apps Web browser Requests HTTP resources, renders them, and handles navigation across sites History and tabs Groups together sequences of HTTP resources corresponding to a user’s activity across sites

19. Active sessions Pictures Take a look at recent photos People Look up the status for a contact Pictures Continue looking at recent photos UI Navigation: Example

20. Retained in shell frame to support resuming paused sessions Discarded while the session is paused UI and State Management: Concepts Page UI Describes the visual appearance of a page Page State Contains data that describes an instance of a page, analogous to browser cookie

21. Apps restarted and UI rehydrated as the user navigates thru the phone 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
