A few things to know about apps on Surface Hub:
|
|
|
|
|
- Surface Hub only runs [Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps](https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/get-started/whats-a-uwp). See a [list of apps that work with Surface Hub](https://www.microsoft.com/surface/support/surface-hub/surface-hub-apps).
|
|
|
|
|
- Apps must be targeted for the [Universal device family](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/dn894631).
|
|
|
|
|
- By default, apps must be Store-signed to be installed. During testing and development, you can also choose to run developer-signed UWP apps by placing the device in developer mode.- When submitting an app to the Windows Store, developers need to set Device family availability and Organizational licensing options to make sure an app will be available to run on Surface Hub.
|
|
|
|
|
- You need admin credentials to install apps on your Surface Hub. Since the device is designed to be used in communal spaces like meeting rooms, people can't access the Windows Store to download and install apps.

## Develop and test apps

While you're developing your own app, there are a few options for testing apps on Surface Hub.

### Developer Mode
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Surface Hub only runs UWP apps that have been published to and signed by the Windows Store. Apps submitted to the Windows Store go through security and compliance tests as part of the [app certification process](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/the-app-certification-process), so this helps safeguard your Surface Hub against malicious apps.

Use Visual Studio to [create an app package](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh454036.aspx) for your UWP app, signed using a test certificate. Then use Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD) to create a provisioning package containing the app package.
