Whats New In Windows : Microsoft 'Indefinitely' Delays Tool to Port Android Apps to Windows: Report





One of Microsoft's biggest plans to bring more apps to the Windows Store is seeing obstacles to fruition. Microsoft has confirmed that it has delayed Windows Bridge for Android, the tool kit that makes it possible easily port Android apps to the Windows 10 platform.

In order to revive the mobile fortunes of its Windows operating system, and close the so-called app-gap problem, Microsoft announced earlier this year that it was making it easier for developers to port their Android apps apps to its platform. One such tool, dubbed Project Astoria, was unveiled in April, but it was never released publicly and no developments around it have since been shared.

Citing people familiar with the matter, Windows Central reported last week that Microsoft has put the project on hold for an "indefinitely" long period. The Verge further corroborates and reports that the company has pulled back on dedicating employees to the Android development project in favour of its iOS development effort called Project Islandwood. The company has reportedly also removed support in Windows 10 Mobile for running ported Android apps.

The company confirmed that its Astoria bridge is not moving as planned. "The Astoria bridge is not ready yet, but other tools offer great options for developers." But at this point it wouldn't tell whether it has completely scrapped the project.

"We're committed to offering developers many options to bring their apps to the Windows Platform, including bridges available now for Web and iOS, and soon Win32 [...] Developers can write apps that run on all Windows 10 devices and take advantage of native Windows features easily. We're grateful to the feedback from the development community and look forward to supporting them as they develop apps for Windows 10," the company told The Verge in a statement.

The gamble to get Android apps has always been controversial. For Microsoft, perhaps bringing Android apps to Windows Phone, which is among the top five mobile operating systems, in terms of user base, is risky. Many have been against the idea of bringing Android apps to the Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile platform as it sends the signal that the company has quit on its own developers

Nothing Phone 2: There's something in marketing gimmick

By
Nothing Phone 2 Squabble: Nothing priced its first phone (Nothing Phone) at 32,000 on July 12, 2022. The phone was distinct because to its glyph light feature and distinctive operating system. Nothing has also developed Nothing EAR (TWS), a Landon-based firm that has sold over 1 million units worldwide as of the end of 2022. Here is our whole Nothing Phone 2 review. Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing Nothing Technology Limited (stylized as NOTHING), has introduced Nothing Phone 2, and people are discussing his marketing techniques rather than his products. They implement a twofold embargo for artists; it appears that they are encouraging influencers to engage in dark marketing. Mr. Rakesh, alias Gyan Therapy, made a video opposing the embargo while everyone else was busy fluffing it.  So, following the contentious embargo, I've discovered two major reasons to avoid Nothing Phone 2: 1. Expensive Pricing: The Nothing Phone 2 costs roughly 45,000 INR, which is 5,000 INR higher than the Oneplus ...
