Bring your existing code to Windows

We can help bring your app to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) on Windows 10 so you can start taking advantage of new features, like the ability to run on a PC, phone, Xbox, HoloLens, or even a Raspberry Pi from a single codebase. You can follow our porting guidance, or you can use the Developer Preview of Mobilize.Net's Silverlight bridge to help port your app.

We can help bring your app to Windows 10 so you can start taking advantage of the new features. Get started here.

Your application should already run on Windows 10. To make it easier for you to distribute and monetize your application, we are developing a toolkit for you to bring your desktop app to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). This toolkit will enable you to package and publish your .NET and Win32 applications as an app package, initially deployed via sideloading and eventually to the Windows Store. The toolkit is expected to be available for public testing this year. Sign up for updates here. Learn more about making Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps here.

If you have an app built with Apache Cordova, you can use the Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova along with the Windows 10 SDK to create a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app to publish to the Windows Store.

If you used another framework, check to see if they support creating UWP apps. If not, you may want to consider building a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app for Windows 10.

Windows 10 enables you to package your website in a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app that you can publish to the Windows Store. This type of app—a Hosted Web App—can call UWP APIs directly from your website's JavaScript code.

A number of popular cross-platform solution providers support Windows 10, such as Xamarin, Unity, and Cordova. Check with your cross-platform solution provider to see if they support Windows 10. Otherwise, you may want to consider building a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app for Windows 10.

If your app is written entirely in Objective-C, the Windows Bridge for iOS can help you build a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app using your existing code. This will enable you to take full advantage of Windows 10 features

The Windows Bridge for iOS does not currently support Swift. If your app uses Swift, we have porting guidance to help you migrate your code to a UWP app.
