After several rumors gave for granted the ability to run Android applications on Windows 10, Microsoft finally reveal everything on the first day of its Build conference.
Not only are Android applications that They will be able to use the Windows 10 but also created for the mobile OS from Apple. And if delayed expected to be available this possibility, Microsoft has anticipated and is now available the first versions of these tools.
Of course, even natural, that the implementation of these applications do not directly by simply “translate” code between platforms. Ideally this root compatibility exist, but since they are different programming languages, an intermediate process is needed.
You will need a conversion process between each of the systems, to ensure that programming languages and are adapted to the functions and services used to be transposed.
That’s why Microsoft has created the mechanisms dedicated to this conversion, users simply import to the new tools, which then take charge of the move to Visual Studio.
These conversion tools are now open to the public, a Developer Preview, so programmers to start testing and preparing to create applications for new Windows 10 dedicated to mobile devices.
Project Islandwood
Project Islandwood is the tool that Microsoft created, dedicated to code implementation and iOS applications to Windows 10.
With this tool developers will be able to import their projects created in Xcode for Visual Studio and thereafter compile them and publish them in the Windows application store.
Once in Visual Studio will be simple and quick to compile and debug all applications created in Objective-C.
The changes required to achieve transport an application created in iOS world to the Windows world.
Project Astoria
The Project Astoria the version created to import and compile applications created for Android to Windows applications store.
Here too the changes necessary to get an Android application to work on Windows and can be used for the Windows libraries add services to these applications.
Once you convert the application it can be evaluated and tested in any IDE and prepared to be submitted in the Windows application store.
For now access to any of these projects is limited and Developer Preview, but interested only need to register for access to be granted. This description is made on the page of each of these projects.
The final versions of these tools come after Windows 10 was released, which is expected to be in early summer 2015.
Microsoft seems to have succeeded in creating something that many sought aspired several years ago. The BlackBerry experience managed to bring Android to your system, but ended up out there.
Microsoft to achieve also integrate iOS took the next step and eventually broke new ground in development.
