Share data between Windows Store App and Windows Phone 8 App?

Question

What is the recommended way to share data between a Windows Store App and a Windows Phone 8 App?

Answer 1

Hi,

You could save the data to the third server. And then get or rewrite data with winjs.xhr + web service.

#WinJS.xhr function (Windows)

You can save it to your database server which could be on a shared hosting or use Azure cloud or use SkyDrive for backup and restore. More on how to use skydrive for data.

It would be cool if you could identify that a Windows phone app is a companion app to a Windows 8 app and then have access to the same datastore.
