During the early previews of Windows 8, the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows 8 provided developers with the first support for building backend services for Windows Store apps using Windows Azure.  The main areas of feedback we received from mobile developers was that they wanted a turn-key set of services for common functionality such as notifications, auth, and data.   Windows Azure Mobile Services directly reflects this feedback by enabling developers to simply provision, configure, and consume scalable backend services. The downloads for this toolkit will be removed on the week of Feb 1st 2013.  Future improvements will be channeled into Windows Azure Mobile Services rather than this toolkit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get started with Mobile Services, &lt;a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/"&gt;sign up&lt;/a&gt; for a Windows Azure account and receive 10 free Mobile Services.
&lt;h1&gt;Note this download is for the now outdated Windows 8 Developer Preview.

&lt;li&gt;WNS Recipe Updated WNS Recipe to add Audio support.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NuGets project template refactored to make use of NuGets which people can also use directly in their existing apps.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;WnsRecipe NuGet created - a managed API for sending Toast, Tile and Badge notifications and handling Auth against WNS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;WindowsAzure.Notifications NuGet - registration service for clients to register their Channel URI from WNS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;WindowsAzure.Common NuGet - Helpers for working with Windows Azure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;notification.js created for client apps to easily communicate the Registration Service i.e WindowsAzure.Notifications NuGet.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Samples The samples are currently undergoing churn and will be updated in the coming drop. Added Margie’s Travel CTP as a Sample application&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Note: This release is a ‘CTP&amp;#39; release as it has not yet gone through our full QA process.  We have released this as a CTP as it updates a number of key issues that users were facing with dependency checks and the file new project experience.  We will be releasing a final version of the 1.1.x branch in the coming days once it has undergone the full QA tests and also has refreshed documentation.  Until this updated drop is made the CTP is the recommended download for users to proceed with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This recipe provides a simple managed API for authenticating against WNS, constructing payloads and posting the notification to WNS.
