Your application may be deactivated while the game invite is in the foreground. To ensure that your application receives the result of the GameInviteTask, the object must be declared with class scope within the PhoneApplicationPage class and you must call the chooser constructor and assign the Completed event delegate within the page’s constructor. For more information about how to handle the activation and deactivation of your application, seeApp activation and deactivation for Windows Phone 8. |
