How to really test if the live tile is working?

Question

Hi. I wonder how to really debug a live tiles functionality. I see that live tile update is sent to my tile. But I don't see that anything is really changed on a tile. I use WideImageAndText template, I supplied an image of 310x150 size and a short text to the payload. But I don't see any changes in my tile when update is sent to the tile. What could you suggest for that?

Answer 1

See Troubleshooting tile, toast, and badge notifications.

Answer 2

Make sure your app includes a default wide tile image (it won't by default). If this is not included in your app your tile will not update (as you won't be able to set the tile to wide).
