The store is there and remains, as are the apps and APIs, but now one can also publish traditional Win32 apps. Which is awesome!
UWP APIs nor apps are dead nor buried - very poor journalism.
- WorldMaker 7y agoRight, the worlds have merged/blended together finally. You can have every type of Win32 app in the Store. You can have UWP apps entirely outside of the Store. You can have UWP components inside of Win32 apps, in or out of the Store. UWP lives on, it just is no longer a walled garden that doesn't understand Win32.
- pjmlp 7y agoIt feels like that they just don't bother to understand and use any rumor as means to claim victory over the store's death.
- WorldMaker 7y agoI think a lot of the misunderstanding is willful. The "you'll take Win32 out of my cold dead hands" crowd is a fascinating one. Almost don't want to correct some of them because they seem so happy to celebrate any notion that UWP is dead, when the reality is that Win32 has been Weekend at Bernie's for years now and the dreams of UWP are more alive than ever, it's just getting much better at also propping up Bernie and pretending the Win32 corpse is still moving, so that the party keeps raving along.
