Universal Windows Application Lifecycle: From Activation and Suspension to Background Execution, Multitasking and Extended Execution
Description
You spoke and we listened! The application lifecycle is getting upgrades to cover the scenarios you care about most. In this session we will cover the basics and best practices of the app execution lifecycle: how apps are activated and suspended. We will then dive in to learn what’s new in Background Execution and how to use the new Single Process Execution Model for triggering your application in the background. You will also learn how to request an extension on the lifetime of your application in order to enable multitasking and complete actions that are critical to your user experience.

The Discussion

Niner463754 Even though these changes aren't available to play with yet, any intention of making the code you used in the talk available now on GitHub to digest while we wait?
-
StefanWick For single-proc background activation we will make samples available to the public soon (incl. the trigger I demonstrated).
For extended execution, you can start playing with the API on current bits. There is a sample up on GitHub: https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/ExtendedExecution
Thanks,

Niner463754 Thanks Stefan,
Does the single-proc activation changes coming also apply to AppServices? Given these are background tasks I'm hoping so.

chcortes @Niner463754: Yes, the single proc activation also applies to AppServices.
