I am making an app for Windows Phone 8 and I want to know if I can read the phone owner's accounts programmatically, such as windows live id, gmail, facebook and so on.

No, users have to authenticate with all of those again in your app.

  • So, is impossible to get these accounts as is. I wanted to make an app which need to retrieve these accounts. So, definitely is impossible right? – programmer23 Dec 18 '13 at 22:20
  • There are system tasks for sharing statuses etc. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh394027(v=vs.105).aspx) but no, you don't have access to user's social accounts data from inside your app unless your implement it all by yourself. – Igor Ralic Dec 18 '13 at 22:39
