Windows 10 was the problem solved including through simple tools for moving apps from Android and iOS to Windows. The strategy was presented during the company’s Build developer conference last spring, and Microsoft showed how easy it would be to move an app from Android to Windows for a developer.
dirty work would be handled by a tool such as Microsoft christened Astoria. Now it seems as if the tool is shunted aside on a shelf in Redmond instead of ending up in the prospective developer’s hands.
After Build Microsoft has talked less and less about Astoria and now the company in a statement said the site Recode that the project does not go as planned. It is unclear whether this means that there are further delays in time or if the project is completely put on hold but several observers interpret it as Microsoft got cold feet when it comes to Astoria.
This is because the tool requires minimal effort from the developer who wants to move their app. Microsoft translate that automatically links to Google services like messaging and maps to Microsoft’s proprietary counterparts. This means that the app does not need to be adapted to Windows, but it also does not feel like a real Windowsapp for the user.
Instead recommend now Microsoft two other tools for those who want to move apps. One of iOS apps and the apps written for the Web. Both require more manual intervention from a developer but then gives the opportunity for a better adjustment to Windows.
