Of particular note for developers is the introduction of the Xbox Live Creators Program.  This program will allow developers to access Xbox Live social experiences (sign-in, rich presence, stats, leaderboards, etc) in their Xbox One and Windows titles without requiring concept approval.

The Windows Device Portal Wrapper project wraps the Device Portal APIs to make it easier to build custom tools on top of Device Portal.  The wrapper supports most of the commonly used Device Portal features across all device families (Xbox One, Desktop, Phone, HoloLens and IoT), and it can be used from tools that target either the .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher or UWP.

Here are some links to help you get started using the Windows Device Portal Wrapper:

• Windows Device Portal Wrapper NuGet package - https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsDevicePortalWrapper/
• Windows Device Portal Wrapper GitHub project - https://github.com/Microsoft/WindowsDevicePortalWrapper
• Sample Windows Device Portal Wrapper apps - https://github.com/Microsoft/WindowsDevicePortalWrapper/tree/master/Samples
• MSDN docs for Windows Device Portal - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/debug-test-perf/device-portal

• Publishing UWP games requires concept approval through the ID@Xbox program.
• You need to use the Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK and target the anniversary update (version 10.0.14393.0) for UWPs that you plan to publish for Xbox One.

• The PC running the app and the Xbox One console must be on the same sub-net.
• The Xbox One console must be in the RETAIL sandbox or XDKS.1 sandbox.
