Astoria was one of the fabled “bridges” that Microsoft introduced during Build 2015.
Microsoft said it decided to kill Astoria because it received feedback from developers that having separate Android and iOS bridges was “unnecessary” and “confusing,” which makes almost no sense.
Microsoft is now encouraging developers to use the Windows bridge for iOS to convert existing apps to Windows. Alternatively, developers could use Xamarin, a development platform recently acquired by Microsoft, to develop apps using the .NET framework and written in C#, and then use that code to create Windows, Android, and iOS apps. |
