Can I send raw data using App42 API on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1?

Question

Hello,

I am writing an application for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 which uses the App42 cloud API's. I see in the Buddy Management Service there is an easy way to send strings/text to friends and other users, is there a way to send other types of data like images or audio?

I do not want these to be stored anywhere except locally on the device.

I've also looked at the AppWarp API's for sending data and I noticed it has a SendUpdatePeers function which allows byte data to be sent to all peers, is there a way to send byte data to a single user similar to the SendPrivateChat function?

Answer 1

Currently, you can only send bytes using SendUpdatePeers in AppWarp. Also, please remember you can only send 1024 bytes per message.

A better approach would be to upload the file to App42 cloud using upload service and share the link with friends either through Buddy Managment or appwarp.
