Android developers can reuse their existing Android code to make their apps to Windows 10, Microsoft announced on the Microsoft Build Developer conference yesterday. Microsoft is introducing two new software development kits to simplify the porting of Android and iOS apps using Microsoft’s APIs.
Microsoft has struggled to compete in the Android and iOS-dominated apps market since Windows Store has been around since 2012. The tech giant really wants to transfer Android apps without changing core functionality, while offering support for Windows features for instance Xbox Live, Live Tiles, Cortana and Holograms.
Rather than build apps through the ground up, this treatment solution provides huge incentive for developers to aid Windows 10. This would be significant if Microsoft achieves its goal to obtain Windows 10 one billion devices by 2018.
Windows 10 is anticipated to launch during the summer. Do you think this new strategy can help Microsoft boost its apps marketplace? Let us know from the comments below.
