We are Microsoft. We are here to learn. How can we help you build mobile apps?
- joemellin 10y agoHello! I am a PM at Microsoft and we are looking to learn about how we can help mobile app developers work faster and build better apps. Can you share your thoughts? Best, -Joe

- veli_joza 10y agoThe 3rd question behaves incorrectly, if I answer with "Other(please specify)" as answer, it's still not accepted. You will probably lose a lot of answers because of that and your poll will be skewed.
- Piskvorrr 10y ago"We are Microsoft. We are here to learn. (Your knowledge will be assimilated.)" Rather unfortunate choice of words ;)
- joemellin 10y agoHa! True :) Thanks for the tip! Will keep that in mind for the next one.
- castell 10y agoHaha, well the opposite is true: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3108380/windows-pcs/microsoft-to-end-decades-old-pick-a-patch-practice-in-windows-7.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/3108380/windows-pcs/mic...
- SlipperySlope 10y agoHey Microsoft! Learn Linux and Android. You lost and they won.

- castell 10y agoYou don't, that's the point: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3108380/windows-pcs/microsoft-to-end-decades-old-pick-a-patch-practice-in-windows-7.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/3108380/windows-pcs/mic...
- joemellin 10y agoI hear that. Are you going to be affected by this?
- JoshuaWeberMSFT 10y agoHi! I'm also a PM at Microsoft. I especially care about all scenarios related to publishing and distributing mobile apps. Would love to hear about any current pain points or how we might be able to help the mobile developer community.
- divbit 10y agoHey - (some specific feedback not covered in the form thingy )- I've been a long time windows phone user (currently sporting a lumia 950 which shares time with an ios / android device for developtment), and recently switching to software coming from a math ph.d., so maybe slightly different background than typical app developer. I guess the biggest gap for me is windows mobile getting up to speed on the react-native stuff. In Android / Ios I can have a roughly working app in a couple days, but getting a project to the same place on windows mobile has been a bit more of a hassle. Some basic notes related to this: 1. Windows tutorials lacking for your example apps: https://github.com/ReactWindows/react-native-windows/tree/edb9bb631e697bd3d95872c78055e0bd3ab6dd69/UIExplorer https://github.com/ReactWindows/react-native-windows/tree/ed... (I would do a pull request myself to fix it if I had time these days) 2. These example apps should all work with the run-windows command "out-of-the-box" 3. Some simple native plugins would be great (e.g. a "windows hello" react-native module is something I would have to write if I were to make a windows mobile version of my current project) 4*. Possibly too much to ask for, but for android / ios the emulator works standalone (e.g. without xcode / android studio), in windows, I seem to need full visual studio running, which doesn't sound too bad, but beside photoshop / onenote / some other things, can make things a bit slow on a pro 2. Unrelated, but maybe a prettier version of something like template 10? (Another project I would do myself if I had time) Comparatively, the ios / material built-in themes tend to feel much less clunky..
- JoshuaWeberMSFT 10y agoHi divbit, Thanks for this feedback. I've passed this on to the react native windows team. And will see if I can get them in touch with you. We will see what we can do. :)
