No mention of Islandwood (the iOS bridge), which is probably more important, if less ambitious. The missing apps preventing Windows Phone adoption are not Android-only.
- NicoJuicy 11y agoIslandwood was het project name, i had to search ( according to my standards ) a long time. Here is more infromation : https://dev.windows.com/en-us/bridges/ios https://dev.windows.com/en-us/bridges/ios
- c1sc0 11y agoI did a deep evaluation at work of project Islandwood & my conclusion was that there's just enough framework support to make Candy Crush run, but that's about it.
- pavlov 11y agoThat's exactly it. It's fine for a game that makes minimal use of UIKit and doesn't have high performance requirements. Any complex non-game app will require a UI rewrite using the Windows UI framework bridge. That means many months of work, compared to the 1-day effort of bringing an Android app over using "Project Astoria".
