Read the entire post, the link to the new version of XapMaker is somewhere hidden, not really, but you get the point: READ!
Finally I am able to get time to update you all on Make My App for Windows Phone 7. So I have implemented many features since last build. Here’s a list:
1) Parallel processing on server (anyone can xap apps, you will need to register though)
2) Choose from two styles 
3) Ability to not include some sections
4) Ability to upload your own App Icon
5) The application name is now the same as your title
6) The application gives you live feedback based on if your input is valid (border turns green if it found your username/blog and turns red if it doesn’t)
7) You can re-download apps you created previously from the manage tab
Flickr integration – double tap to zoom, click and drag to move (can’t do pinch to zoom, no device, MS said they dont have any more :-/ because they gave the 10K they had to the 1000 or so developers, I am assuming each got 10 
… are there even a thousand apps announced/showcased yet or are these devs just keeping the phones as way-too-early Christmas gifts?)
9) Landscape mode in the sub pages for all sections
10) Added App Bar to pages with actions such as Visit the actual blog post page or twitter user’s page, message someone with a link to the blogpost (haven’t tested, no real sim/phone)
11) Retweet icon is there, but not yet implemented – on the todo list
Bugs I know of: Back button from Messaging app or IE doesn’t load the particular blogpost or twitter feed, you have to press back again. Something I am working on as I speak… think if IsolatedStorage is a good idea.
Okay so for video, youtube doesn’t allow access to any form of video without embedding swf player. 3gp streams are pointless so will not use that. FLV isn’t a support format for Windows Phone 7. I can write a decoder using ffmpeg, but not sure that would pass through marketplace and I don’t want to spend time doing it either. So I am going to have you guys point me to how video should be done. Vote below:
Loading ...Post bugs/feature requests/fixes/etc… in the comments below. Thanks all. I may/may-not halt programming until the next September 15th release of Dev tools. However, if many people ask for particular feature, then I’ll start implements it earliest I can.
Oh and POST SOME STYLES I can implement, I want to have many options for people. I was looking around 6-8 styles to choose from by end of year. Just send me a picture of a good style describing how to put in the sections. I can probably figure out animations myself.
People with real devices sitting on their desks making dust… test some apps from this xap maker and let me know of performance issues or so. And if the devices are really gathering dust, consider donating them to me :-p.

Thanks all,

its nice to see more updates on this , will give it some press on 1800PocketPC.
Thanks
It dosnt run
EDIT: Should work now!
If there’s anything you want tested on a real device, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. This looks like a very interesting project!
(email is olevett[at]gmail[dot]com)
get this same as the one above? :/
EDIT: Should work now!
Its back up… freaking Windows Updates… rebooting my computer without warning :-/… Sorry guys…
i love the new way to make apps instead of making it from blank.
i would like to know if you’re going to make an implementation for feed fromdifferent sites as deviantart.
another request is for multiple feeds and editable titles for every column of them.
i hope for november to see and catch a winpho device
Thats exactly what I plan to do… something like add sections of any type (blog, tweets, facebook, flickr) in any order…
Couldn’t get the Facebok(sp?) bit to work – not sure what it is after. Put in “samjudson” which is my Facebook profile name.
Do you know how I deploy in emulator?
Facebook is only for Pages… not profiles… so you would need to create a facebook page for it… would you really want to give public access to your wall and profile?
Ah yes, good point.
Also for deploying to the emulator, when you download and install dev tools from http://developer.windowsphone.com/
It installs a Xap Deployment tool with it, just open it, browse to the downlaoded XAP, press deploy and then in the emulator slide to the side to the the full list of programs, and it should be installed there.
Cheers – I think I was haven’t a thick moment. I read an old tutorial where it was called “Application Deployment” and I missed the right tool.
Okay people who vote for another site which supports free “non-flash” streaming… link me to them… I could not really find any good ones, but if you know some then let me know…
streaming is an important part of mobile distribution and deployment, trying to bypass i think will reduce content availability.
I only get errors every time I try to create an app –

Registration is not working – how can I get the App-Maker? Confirmation-E-Mail is sent, but when I click on the link nothing happens, so the registration can’t be finished.
I’m having the same problem as Stesa
Same problem as above two users…I would love to have access to App Maker.
Thanks.
Same Problem….
I would really love to have access to makemyapp and try it out.
Thank you
