Deploy hints for apps on Windows 10 Iot device

The deploy step to debug an application on Windows 10 Iot device (like Raspberry Pi) needs some attention. The first thing to do is select the “Remote Machine” in debug section of project properties and than set the address to the IP address of your Raspberry Pi, and set the Authentication Mode to “Universal (Unencrypted Protocol”). Next, press F5 on your project. This will install your project onto the Raspberry Pi and start debugging.

When debugging stops the application is again in the device. But if it is a background application it is not running. Should be able to see it in the web management portal under the “Apps Manager” option. You can use this to start and stop an application; configure it to start automatically at boot up, and to uninstall the application.
