Now with Windows Bridge you can use iOS apps on Windows 10

Microsoft had previously demonstrated how this platform works at this year's developer conference. At Microsoft's largest programmer conference, Build 2015, they announced major new features. Among the most important announcements, the Redmond company revealed that Windows 10 will be able to run Android and iOS applications adapted for its operating system.

Windows Bridge will allow developers to port applications from Apple's operating system to Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Months ago, a demonstration was given of exactly how this process would work, but no firm release date was announced. Well, that day has arrived. Codenamed Islandwood, Windows Bridge will allow developers to port applications from Apple's operating system to Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Furthermore, the company behind Windows confirmed that it plans to add mobile support later this year.

This first tool is a preview, and testing it requires an invitation. This is not the final Microsoft platform, so they hope to learn from the open-source community and that users can contribute code, tests, bug reports, and feedback to optimize the program.

            It's worth noting that Project Islandwood allows you to export iOS applications to Windows 10 using Objective-C. Its development is limited to Visual Studio, and currently, the applications don't adapt to the screen size, leading developers to opt for developing on devices the size of an iPhone or iPad to avoid delays.

            Microsoft stated that this was a truly ambitious project and that today's release is clearly a work in progress. The final version will arrive near the end of the year along with Windows Bridge for Android.
