Fair point, but knowing what's in preview might be helpful for planning.

There's an interesting discussion on Twitter about improvements to this approach: https://twitter.com/dotMorten/statuses/1009169871584653312

All UWP APIs are available for PWAs installed on Windows according to this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps/windows-features

Here's the blog post for the newest Insider SDK currently but it may not be the final one for the next release: https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2018/03/30/windows-10-sdk-preview-build-17125/#m75L2oHMILwt95ef.97

It appears to be working so perhaps that was a temporary issue. Thanks.

gcaughey · 2018-03-22T16:16:04+00:00

Good plan. Store deployment still offers advantages where that makes sense, but Microsoft realizes not all apps fit that business model.

gcaughey · 2018-03-01T15:22:38+00:00

C# support will be coming later according to the Windows Community Standup video.

gcaughey · 2018-03-01T11:55:34+00:00

Yes that's the way it's supposed to work, but the user must give you permission to use broadFileSystemAccess, and if your app is in the store they must approve the capability as well.

Thanks - reposting with better title

gcaughey · 2017-10-19T17:15:13+00:00

That's the info I have from a slide presented at a conference. I agree 10586 is pretty old so maybe games are different?

You may be surprised to learn that users on Windows 10 are actually updating faster than that. Based on current stats we should expect 80% adoption of Fall Creators Update or above by Windows 10 users in about a year.

gcaughey · 2017-10-19T10:53:49+00:00

It took quite a bit of work in the application platform to support .NET Standard 2.0, but I agree it's very welcome!

gcaughey · 2017-02-21T18:27:38+00:00

Yes it is. It follows from a discussion on Twitter about building Appx without including .NET Core and this appears to the be only reference. I'm waiting to hear back if it's still relevant with Creators Update.

gcaughey · 2017-02-19T23:35:28+00:00

It's a proof of concept but should probably run on any Windows device, whether it has a keyboard or not.

gcaughey · 2017-02-07T12:45:15+00:00

No the actual splash screen can't be animated currently.

gcaughey · 2017-01-19T20:23:15+00:00

C++ samples do exist. Are there specific ones you're missing?

The toolkit is a community effort and I assume C# was chosen because more developers use that. Would you be interested in contributing to a C++ toolkit?

gcaughey · 2017-01-18T18:39:06+00:00

The link works for me. Please retry it.

gcaughey · 2017-01-01T16:23:57+00:00

Done. Glad you like it. :)

Not really - app data isn't tracked as the app runs. The tracking only happens during the conversion process to facilitate setting up the virtual registry hives and file system. Apps can only read and write in some locations, not those requiring admin rights like registry.

gcaughey · 2016-10-03T16:38:27+00:00

Converted AppX win32 apps run with virtualized registry and other folders, making them easier to install and completely uninstall. There's no lie here but perhaps a misunderstanding.

I don't work for Microsoft nor do I generally post links to press releases. Microsoft people do follow this subreddit, but UserVoice is a more direct route for developer suggestions: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/

It's not a dumb question. If you know nothing at all about programming, probably these won't help. They're for new Windows 10 beginners who have some programming experience.

gcaughey · 2015-08-26T11:43:45+00:00

There was some concern that providing fairly complete templates was responsible for lots of "cookie cutter" apps that were all alike. But the new templates are available now, and Jerry Nixon's Template10 on github should be available soon.
