A German app developer has discovered that ads in Windows 8 apps is a simple way to turn off. Tweakers has the method been verified. There is only a small surgery in a xaml-file to the ads from the apps to make them disappear.
The software developer writes that he managed to get ads from the twitterclient Metrotwit remove. This app is available in the Windows Store of Windows 8. The developer has made some changes in the file mainpage.xaml, which all proved to work. In this configuration file is the layout of the Metrotwit app partly recorded. The changes showed Metrotwit itself as a paid version of the app in which the advertisements are missing. That was done by dom-location or change the ad size to 0 pixels.
The method of the developer, who uses the alias Indiegamr, he would, with success also in other applications from the Windows Store can run. The German then also wondered how app developers can protect themselves against such ‘xaml-hacks’. Tweakers has the method is verified and the hacks seem to work. Microsoft still has no response on this method to remove ads. Earlier today came via Tweakers to outside users via an application easy paid Windows 8 apps can use for free.
