How to find a Windows Store App's SID?

Question

I am trying to integrate facebook into a Windows Store App.

I have created a new FB App and started working through the steps described in this blog post. http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2013/11/14/facebook-login-for-windows-store-apps/

​​

Here is where I ran into a problem. Step 2 describes how to obtain a Windows SID for an App that has yet to be published. However my app is already published. Does anyone know how to obtain a SID for an app that is already published in the Windows Store?

Answer 1

Instructions in this post should help you find how to locate SID for published app: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465407.aspx

It's listed under step 3 for obtaining the credentials for your app. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Windows Store apps page of the Windows Dev Center and sign in with your Microsoft account.
2. Once you have signed in, click the Dashboard link .
3. On the Dashboard, select Submit an app .
4. On the Submit an app page, select App name .
5. Select the Services link.
6. On the Services page, select the Live Services link found under the Microsoft Azure Mobile Services section.
7. On the Push notifications and Live Connect services info page, select Identifying your app .
8. The Identifying your app page gives you an identity element to include in your app's manifest. Open your manifest in a text editor and add that element as the page instructs. 9.Click the Authenticating your service link at the bottom of that same Identifying your app page.
9. The Authenticating your service page provides your security identifier (SID) and client secret.

Answer 2

I see it's an old post, but I guess it's better to show a simpler solution, which is the one told by microsoft in this thread: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/view-app-identity-details

You can just go to your application from the developer dashboard, then on the left you should expand the " App Management " option and choose " App Identity ". There you can find many informations, including the App SID.
