In Windows 10 will run Android and iOS apps reworked
Microsoft releases two SDK surprise for porting Android and iOS app in Windows 10, greatly shortening the integration of the app in your store than is the case today.
About a hypothetical possibility to use in Windows 10 app designed for the Android world, based on some rumors turn on the network. Hopes and fears all turned on a possible integration in a Windows 10 environment emulation, in the wake of what was done by Blackberry.
How things really are has been said during the important event Microsoft BUILD, removing the specter of a simple emulator that would probably have the most dissatisfied. In a surprise move, and enormously important, Microsoft has released two SDK for porting apps written natively for Android and iOS, and it is totally different from the dreaded emulator.
Today the app for the Windows need to be written for this environment: the result is there for all, with Microsoft getting in trouble for developing app also widespread, sometimes months or years late, always to be written. Many will come across the words ” for iOS and Android ” in reference to this or that app, leaving empty-handed those who hoped to see operating systems, including those of Microsoft, which are moving or not.
The reason is obvious: today, developers write very often starting from a world iOS app (potentially more profitable), whose versions for Android or arrive at the same time or shortly thereafter. Obviously, we are generalizing and considering exceptions or special cases, but roughly how it goes. With Windows 10, the music changes as that very same app written for the competition are subject to a porting to the Windows environment without the need to be rewritten from scratch.
Obviously, the operation will not be as simple as clicking a few buttons here and there, but certainly will be many developers and software companies that will be in the position to propose its own tools for the Windows world in a fraction of the time required today. What will make the difference between having or not an app in the store, which is why the move is one that bode well for Microsoft.
In the Android SDK Microsoft will allow developers to use Java code and C, while in the iOS Objective C. Among the statements made is the one referring to testing with some app to King, such as Candy Crush Saga: it was possible to obtain with a few steps a properly working version for the Windows environment, starting from the one for iOS.
According to Microsoft, Windows 10 will be present in a billion devices (mobile or not) within two or three years; critical to achieving the ambitious goal is to overcome the impasse app and be competitive with the competition. The move announced this evening seems to be a brilliant way to fill much of the gap that exists today. To understand then if there is a sea or a stream between saying and doing … will in the coming months to determine.
