Microsoft has released an early look at its open-source Windows 10 Bridge for iOS.
Previously known as “Project Islandwood,” the bridge allows iOS developers to build and run apps on Windows. The version currently available to the open-source community is a work in progress, and Microsoft is encouraging feedback and code contributions before the final release this fall.
The Windows Bridge for Android, a.k.a. “Project Astoria,” is currently available as a technical preview, and the Windows Bridge for Web apps, also known as “Project Westminster,” is live and available with Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015.
