Microsoft Build 2015: Porting of Android and iOS apps to be simplified on Windows 10
Terry Myerson, Microsoft’s vice president of OS development, made an ambitious announcement at the Build 2015 event. Myerson announced four ways to go about getting more apps on the Windows 10 platform, namely Web apps,.NET and Win32 apps, Android apps and iOS objective C apps. One way to get more applications on the Windows Store, will be to provide software developers with tools to port the apps from Android as well as the iOS platform onto Windows 10 platform. According to Myerson, Microsoft software development kit will let developers use Java or C++ code that many Android apps are based on and transform it into a Windows app with support for Microsoft services. He also said that developers can use another SDK to tweak the Objective C code which runs on Apple’s iOS apps, helping get the Apple apps on to the Microsoft platform.
