Just like most Windows 8 App developers, I downloaded and installed the Windows 8.1 update today. One of the things I was looking forward to in Windows 8.1 Apps was Bluetooth support. However, when I opened Visual Studio 2012 Professional to work on my apps,
I could not find the
Windows.Devices.Bluetooth.Rfcomm namespace. I added a reference for Windows.Devices, but I still cannot find the Rfcomm namespace. The app/solution was first created when I still had Windows 8, so I am wondering if the problem could
be one of the following:
1. Do I need to modify the app/solution settings for Windows 8.1? I could not find anywhere in which that needed specified.
2. Is there an extra assembly I need to add for Windows 8.1 and/or Rfcomm? This is my first app that involves communicating with other devices, so I have never tried to use other communication namespaces before either.
3. Can Windows 8.1 Apps be developed using Visual Studio 2012 Professional, or do I need to use a version Visual Studio 2013 (such as Visual Studio Express 2013)?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
