Windows Phone 8 ApplicationBar

Question

Is there really a 4 icon item limit on the applicationbar in windows phone 8? I tried to create a 5th element and it gave me an error in visual studio 2012 for windows phone that too many items were in the list.

Answer 1

According to the documentation :

An Application Bar contains between one and four buttons, an ellipsis, and a set of text menu items. For more information, see App bar for Windows Phone.
