Microsoft supports transfer application programmer iOS to Windows
Tools for iOS Bridge its Windows software will create favorable conditions for developers iOS transfer (port) their applications to Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
At the Build conference earlier this year, Microsoft has announced it will soon release tools help programmers easily move Android and iOS (port) their applications to Windows. Microsoft does not “empty talk”, when recently, tools for Android developers – Windows Bridge for Android – has now been released private beta. Meanwhile, Windows Bridge for iOS – formerly known under the code name “Project Islandwood” – is already in public preview period. The codes of Windows Bridge for iOS is now released as an open source project on GitHub.
Microsoft emphasized that it is still much work to do to improve its engines, and some of the features they had previously promised has not been updated, or if they are, it will operate unstable. Software vendors expect the official version of Windows Bridge will be released this fall – the same time as the update for Visual Studio 2015.
Microsoft’s tools will help developers port their applications to the latest iOS 8.1 and Windows 10. Windows now, programmers can simply port applications to Windows devices using x86 and x64, however , future tools that will support the ARM chip machines (mobile devices running Windows). Salmaan Ahmed, Product Manager Windows Bridge project manager for iOS said the idea of this project is to help “iOS developers write Windows applications using the skills and Objective-C code out of them.” “Our goal was to help developers write high-quality applications for Windows by making the most of knowledge and codes where they are”. Programmers interested can learn the technical details and how it works in Windows Bridge here or watch the video conference before Microsoft’s Build.
Another noteworthy point is that Microsoft wants to support developers using all common Windows API functions from their Objective-C code, and iOS APIs and API Windows promises to work well together. Although very difficult, Microsoft is trying to convince the Android and iOS developers port their applications to Windows. By supporting programmer “cooking” the applications are there, the US software company expects developers will love and attention given to their platform to enhance the quantity and quality of the Windows Store Future.
