What is required for the simulator to show toast notifications?

Question

I have an app that shows a toast notification perfectly on a Windows 8.1 Desktop and Surface RT, but does not show on the simulator.

I am wondering how to configure the simulator to show the notification.

Thanks for any tip in advance!

Answer 1

That is a known limitation due to the simulator using a duplicated user logon session. You can see/debug the toast notification only on the Local Machine or a Remote Machine.

Thanks for the prompt response, Prashant. 

I hope this is prominently warned in MSDN document so that developers will not spend a lot of time scratching their heads and blaming their code.

Thanks for the feedback Hong. I will file a doc bug for this! I agree, the documentation could certainly have been clearer.
