Microsoft plans to expand the supply of applications for its mobile operating system in a very simple way. To facilitate the conversion of applications from other platforms to the Windows 10 Mobile thinks have your problem solved.
After repeatedly having seen the Astoria project working with excellent benefits, now comes the information that it can be paused indefinitely.
When it was launched in April this year, along with Windows 10 Mobile ad, the Astoria project promised an easy way to convert to the mobile version of Windows 10 application ever created for Android.
It would pass through a library that converts the code and also by the presence in Windows 10 Mobile part of Android itself, which would run these applications.
The studies that have been conducted have shown that much of the work It would already be done with various applications to get run longer directly, even unofficially.
But Microsoft has slowed down these jobs and even eventually remove the Android components of the test builds, leaving this project stopped -side Windows 10 Mobile.
An investigation by WindowsCentral site revealed that the Astoria project is now virtually stopped Microsoft’s side and which should not resume their pace of change soon.
The causes identified are well identified and are logical to slow down a project of this importance. First and with a great degree of importance is the dissatisfaction of many of the programmers who will use the Astoria.
But other than that there are also problems with the rather spoken interference that this component will be in the Windows Performance 10 Mobile, serious legal problems that can arise associated with emulation of Android and the high investment that Microsoft has to apply the development of the Astoria project, which requires having a team 80 people, in contrast to the 5 required for Islandwood project, component devoted to the migration of applications to iOS.
This is just Microsoft’s first step to enrich your application store for Windows. Apart from Astoria, which focuses on Android, there is also a shed for iOS with Islandwood, the web applications with Westminster and the Win32 applications with Centennial.
This is an idea that comes being persecuted there since many years and that Microsoft seems to have been able to implement.
The problems that arise are now normal, but we have to wait to see if the project was only paused so that they could focus on release of Windows 10 Mobile, which will happen very soon, or if it was definitely stopped.
